    One of ESPN's boys said Williams was the first to dunk on Ming. I know he tried to in the first half but was denied. I hope he's not referring to the break away at the end of the game because Ming could have tried to block in from behind(and probably would have), but wisely let Williams go.

    Is there something I missed??

    No! on the last play of the game JWill got a break away and dunked. Yao was trailing the play and never challanged it. The ESPN guys are idiots.

    No way! It was a break-away and Yao just let it go as the game was closing out. That doesn't count.

    'The' dunk is in the flow of the offense when all players are positioned.

    No. Williams didn't dunk on Ming. It was the play at the end where Williams dunked it and Ming was like 5-10 feet away and just watched. ESPN is wrong.

    If loving Yao's basketball game is wrong, I don't want to be right!

    Woohoo, I had to get that cheesy line in before anyone else.

    BS! it was just the last play when the sorry Chinese guard turned the ball over and Williams got a break away dunk. Yao was smart enough to let it go and have the game finished. so even the ESPN is anti-Yao?

    I wonder if the ESPN guy knew what he was talking about.

    How in the world J Will could have dunked on Ming who was chasing behind him in a fast break? :rolleyes:

    That's hilarious! Great spin on what was actually a block.

    GB's just pissed because one of the horrible chinese guards stole the ball from Williams at mid-court...
    But Williams was trying to be fancy, so it probably doesn't matter...;)

    Yeah, that ESPNews guy is a moron. I've never seen Jason Williams dunk on anyone. I'd be more worried about Baron...
