    If thats Carl Landry he has a big respect of himself and confidence which is anyways good. :D

    All of the things he said is true, love the guy, brings energy and power to this team. Honestly I have never seen any player in the NBA that plays with so much energy since KG.

    ^ Bill Simmons made up the emails... its a joke. He's actually making fun of John Hollinger's PER stats. Steve Nash is obviously a better player than Landry...

    Landry is way better than Yi right now. Yi doesn't even try to play defense. It's obvious that Yi doesn't have the same superstar work ethic as Yao.

    I always wondered how much tension espn writers have amongst themselves. I cant imagine how it would be if someone like Peter Vescey was on that staff.

    Landry, is an anti-Yi player. Lucy enough, Yi is a bust.

    I was just thinking the same thing and the comment has nothing to do with the thread.

    He tries and actually plays good defense just the rest of his team is horrible at it and/or doesnt even try... he was good for the first 3 months or so of the season since then i've noticed it seems like Yi is shutting it down

    If I'm Landry reading this I take it as an insult. Even after all he's done, he's still #9??? Jeff Green is a joke, Brandan Wright won't see the light of day on his own team, and who's Rudy Fernandez? Landry quietly must even be taking aim at Conley and Horford because frankly, no rookie has been as efficient as him this year, and only his teammate Scola has been a better player.

    Rockets were targeting Rudy in the draft but ended up with Brooks. He's playing great in Europe and winning the MVP. Lots of hype on him.
