    actually, i am pretty suprised Yao has more dunks than Lebron, KG, KMART, Duncan..

    it seems that I see a Lebron dunk on Sportscenter every day..

    Yes, but how many dunks has he missed?

    I dont think he necessarily needs to get more dunks...he needs to MAKE more dunks.

    He misses or gets more dunks blocked than he should being 7'6" and 300+lbs. He needs to take it strong to the hole and quit missing dunks or worse missing layups when he should have dunked.

    If I was Pat Ewing I would have Yao trying to dunk of Deke over and over in practice. He needs to learn how to dunk better.

    Boy, if this doesn't sum up the reason basketball players are growing up without any fundamental basketball skills, I don't know what does.

    duh,
    but top 10 doesnt mean much when there were only 3 sporting events to choose from.

    Im just being honest.

    Why does Yao need more dunks? I think Yao needs to stop setting picks at the high post, and stay in the paint at the defensive end.

    half the dunks that yao "misses" should really be called fouls. mihm and mourning have gotten one on him in the past two game that were never called. i have NEVER seen that happen to shaq, although i havent watched all his games like yao.
