of course, they are knicks people, i didnt see the game but i guess bill was probably like "OHHHH!!!! Yao Sa Yao Sa Yao Sa" lol
That was awesome! I jumped out of my seat screaming...haven't done that since T-Mac's posterizing of Bradley. Go Rockets!
Nope, he only took two steps. Two very long steps but it wasn't a travel. It's when you pick up your dribble - steps before that don't count and he did dribble it and afterwards only two steps. Wasn't even close.
It's the Knicks, they're used to it. To illustrate, here's John Hollinger recapping one particular play when the Kings played in MSG on 1/2 in the NY Sun:
nastyness. the best part is how he puts a little umph in the dunk as he's throwing it down. this wasn't one of those usual "let's hope i can get this dunk to go down" polite kind of dunks. this was a "hey yo ball, get yo ass in that mutha f****** hoop, b****!" ruthless type dunk.
Yao was dominating tonight, and that dunk was Shaq like. He has improved his finishing around the rim by leaps and bounds the last two seasons. I have no idea why the Knicks let him catch it in single coverage with no fronting for the first half of the game though. I mean they just got abused by him 4 days ago...
It looked like Malik's first reaction was to step out and try to take the charge, then realized who was driving on him, tried to move, saw that it wasn't going to be in time, and just tried to protect himself. Not that I blame him.
I was coming back from an afternoon of skiing and on Sirius they only carried the Knicks broadcast tonight, so I had to listen to that stretch of the game through the New York filter. I have to give credit to the Knicks' radio guys... they were immediately shouting about the dunk. Pearl was ecstatic and the white guy couldn't stop talking about it... they said something about it being mean and nasty and "poor Malik" in a mocking way. They talked about it for awhile.
