You should at least have a picture of it though. The Dunk made the regular highlites though.

I think so too. But there are always some circus shots. But they are not better than dunks.

Yao gets posterized so much that there is nothing exciting about it anymore

When Spurs guard Michael Finley drove the baseline and theoretically threw down a hard slam on Yao Ming last week — Yao came over in time only to wave at the ball as it went through the rim — the Spurs became the latest team to wildly celebrate scoring on Yao.

Yao said that reaction, different from dunks on other players, is "because I'm big. It can only be because I am big."

Yao said it bothers him "a little bit, but just for a very short time, and then it passes. It does not bother me at the end of that night's game."

Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy, however, said: "I think there is a bigger, broader thing.

"I think some of those same people that like to mock Yao's negative plays are the same people who predicted that he wasn't good and would never really (make an impact). So instead of just saying, 'I'm wrong, I'm an idiot, I have no idea what I'm talking about,' they try to pick out a couple plays where it may not have gone as well for Yao. Saying you're wrong is difficult.

"A lot of players, if you remember, tried to say he was not that special. I think a lot of it, player-wise, is just talk. A lot of players never appreciated Yao's slow and steady improvement. There's something beyond it, but I'm sure natural size has something to do with it."

hey at least yao contest for blocks, give the dude credit though, unlike sum ppl who dont wanna be on the end of a poster

[v2freak]

There is nothing 'natural' about his height...

Every team celebrates when one of its players dunks on the other team's big man. No surprise here

[nkdlunch]

Rasho gets posterized a lot too. It's because him and Yao ain't afraid to contest the dunks. Other bigs just stay away from the cameras when someone is dunkin

[yeahone]

that was a nasty throwdown by timmy

YAO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Any bigman on this team outside Duncan

:lol at Barry throwing up that trash and having it go in, too.

If the dude was easy to dunk on everybody would do it and there'd be no celebrating. Van Gundy is a moron.

I think what made Tim's dunk so gnarly was him swinging on the rim afterward. You hardly ever see him do that, but it was a nice touch.

if it's the dunk i think it is, that was SICK

[Obstructed_View]

the league's top blockers always get posterized. its no big deal if you really think about it.


except if your name is shawn bradley
Except that Shawn Bradley was a top shot blocker his entire career.

[Rynospursfan]

I loved it when Drob was young......people tried to dunk on him, but his blocks made them look silly.....so they stopped trying until he got older.


I loved how Big Dave would always control the blocks too. He would block it to himself and ignite the fast break with the outlet pass. You don't see anyone doing that anymore.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Wasn't that great.

He drove past a 7'6 footer, and dunked. Not like it was a facial.

[zocool16]

well it kinda was i mean yao was standing right in front of him... but okay
