    Well, CBS Sportsline is keep track of dunks made this season. Interesting stat.

    Amare is just a beast and Shaq is just Shaq. I'm actually surprised Yao is up that high!

    :eek:

    Anyway, another site of interest if you guys want to download torrents, I found this basketball torrents website. Didn't want to start another thread just because of this, so here it is:

    By the way, Vince Carter''s only had 3 dunks so far this season!! :eek: so he wasn't kidding when he said he don't wanna dunk no more..or is it just his bad tendinitis.

    If anything about Yao's game has indeed regressed this year, it's his jump shot. He has become more of a one-dimensional player now, and that's not good in the long run.

    That would be thanks to Jeff Van Dumpy. :(


    I used to think Amare was overrated, but he is pretty good. Still makes me think though...he gets more then a majority of his points from dunks.

    Cato has 16 dunks, i guess that means he's scored 32 points this season so far.

    Just think how many dunks Yao has missed when he has been standing infront of the goal and gone for the lay-up as opposed to the higher percentage dunk.

    Personally I am glad that Yao is up there on this "dunk-o-meter", I remember when he first entered the league and he was overly timid about dunking.

    Bring it home with authoriy Yao!

    And step on Van Impy while you're at it! :D

    Yes, Van Gundy instructed Yao to not make jumpshots.

    :rolleyes:

    Van Gundy is also to blame for Pearl Harbor.

    Yeah making Shaq a one-dimentional really limited him. :rolleyes:

    What is the meaning of one-dimentional player anyway?

    Amare = shawn kemp in his prime.

    Well see if ends up in Jenny Craig like Kemp.


    Now imagine how many dunks Yao would have if he hadn't the point blank range ones blocked by:

    other players
    the rim
    the backboard
    fate

    Please Yao dunk more and take it strong!!

    Yao had a few nice dunks in the game against the Spurs. He really made the backboard rattle.

    Shawn Kemp is probably the best comparison right now, but I see a lot of similarities to a young Hakeem, except Hakeem was already a more well-rounded player (re: defense).

    I really wish Cato was here too.

    I remember the worst stretch of games we had last year was when Cato was out for a couple weeks due to injury.

    Although I cringed every time he shot the ball, I have to admit that he was a lot bigger part of that team than I gave him credit for.

    His offense is better than Hakeem, in terms of scoring efficiency and drawing fouls.
