He never said anything like go back to China and/or there is no room for you China-man in the NBA and such. If Shaq was such a REAL racist, he would have and could have just commit a hard foul on Yao everytime they play each other, and make sure Yao knows he doesn't like him and stuff. No, Shaq never did that at all.
Along the same line, what about Barkley? You hate him too? He was making FUN of every single mis-step Yao made in the first 2 months of his rookie season. Hell, he even said Yao could never score 19 pts in a game, and made a bet with Kenny "The Jet" Smith, you remember that?
Still, I see no racist thing in either of their comments. Hell, they even mock guys like Shawn Bradley, and the FAT Shawn Kamp too. So does it mean everytime you hear someone is making fun of another person / player is considered a racist in your book?  Dude, seriously, take it easy. |
I don't consider Shaq a racist based on this one incident, I simply said his comment is racist. You might not think it's so, but when you've been on the receiving end of similar comments from people who really are it doesn't sit so well in your stomach. From what you guys have been saying I don't think you know what that feels like. So please stop acting like you understand.

You came on here and said you hate someone without stating why. No one put words in your mouth but you. If you want to come off as some 14 year old prick hating people for no reason I suggest you take your nba discussion over to the gamefaqs boards. They will love you there. They also don't comprehend what they read and then try and make it look like someone said something bad about them when in fact it had nothing to do with them. 
further more- hating someone cause you don't get there sense of humor is just about the stupidest shit I have ever heard. talk about ignorant... Shaq was joking around. In case you haven't figured out by now that is kinda what he is known for. |
I don't think you get it. First you tell me that people who fault Shaq for being old are ignorant. Then you go on to say "The only reason people
such as yourself are faulting him is because of the heat's slow start." Did I ever fault him for being past his prime? I simply stated facts.
Anyways, enough of this conversation, I think we all took it too far. No hard feelings.
And on a lighter note, my cousin's boyfriend got me tickets to the Warriors-Rockets game next Thursday! I'm so pumped for this, never been to an NBA game before. Heck, I haven't even had time to watch a game since the season opener.
