sorry, I guess I mis-understood your point.

I do not want to laugh at TMAC either. I just feel very happy for yao this year. No matter how good a player is, if he cannot pass the 1st round, the label of "first round loser" will always be with him. You will find it funny that for some players they can pass the 1st round very easy; however, for others, like Yao, it took him 7 years! For TMAC, we still do not know whether he can pass or not for his whole career.

BTW, I do believe TMAC made the best decision for himself this season. He refused to be "sold" (i mean betrayed) by his team. NBA is just business, he is smart enough to protect himself. I hope Yao can learn from him.
