Don't even compare the 2. LeBron's head was on the rim, plus he dunked on arguably the best player in the league and a great shot blocker.

Yao is 7'6" and gets blocked by players that are 5'6".

Speaking of beat downs, you should simply hope and pray that your Rockettes can get past the first round of the playoffs.

Re: Manu's dunk on Yao

The whole about this dunk is the previous play where we played the ball horrendously and lost it and manu stole it from a bad pass from Yao and dunk on his face. It was beautiful.

Um, Duncan didn't jump and was out of position, so he just stood there with his hands in the air while a guy two inches shorter than he is threw it down with a full head of steam. Manu dunked from both feet on a guy a foot taller than he is who jumped to block the shot and fouled him in the process.

I agree that the two dunks shouldn't be compared because Manu's was much better.

Duncan was there in plenty of time. He knew he wasn't jumping with LeBron, or he would have gotten posterized even worse than he already had.

Fact remains: Yao got blocked by a player 5'6"; is slow, unathletic and a bad defender. LeBron posterized Duncan. LeBron: the easy winner. Thanks.

gg @ casual fan

By your theory, Shawn Bradley is a better shot-blocker than the following players:

Hakeem Olajuwon
Bill Russell
Dikembe Mutombo

Reading people's minds and putting in "would haves" is lame. Let me make this simple for you, as you have obviously never played basketball and are easily dazzled by ESPN highlights:

Dunking when you have a 44" vertical and a head of steam on a guy 3 inches taller than you who doesn't jump = easy.

Dunking on a guy 13 inches taller than you who jumps and hits you in the face when you have two steps and jump off both feet = difficult.

You do realize that even if Yao doesn't jump his hands go ten inches higher than Duncan's do, right?

Authority. :lol
