Good for him...I think he'll turn out to have a nice career...definitely a multi-skilled player.

But was it really racial? Yao was perceived by many to be just another over-hyped 7 foot + stiff just like Muresan and Manute and he struggled immensely tobegin his career, that's where I recall most of the hate stemming from. You couldn't go anywhere without seeing some sort of Yao ad, but he was still abit player who at the time was extremely popular for having a ton of unfulfilled promise.
My opinion is that in Yi and Yao's cases it's been more of a situation where they've been easy targets as punching bags given the kind ofsituations they've been in. Is the hate directed towards Shelden Williams racial?
