Pacers PF Jermaine O'Neal has never made an All-Defensive team, but he currently leads the league in blocks per game. He spent the offseason watching film of Hakeem Olajuwon and noted how the Rockets legend kept his hand up when he was in his defensive stance--sort of like Stonewall Jackson during battle. . . .

That's very interesting. JO studied films of Hakeem playing defense and now he's the current block shots leader. I wonder if Yao should study these films?

Yao has been playing computer games, so if they incorporate Hakeem's moves in the game, Yao will pick'm up
