    This is all true. I remember that video of Yao and Olajuwon talking post moves and Dream being unable to understand how Yao could not deal with people fronting him, and Yao just shaking his head like "I couldn't do it".

    Exactly. I hated that fronting was so effective at shutting Yao down. He obviously was not athletic enough to spin-out for an alley oop dunk:(

    I love this ability that D12 has, spin-out alley oop dunk. He is light/fit and has MAY-juh HOPS which he uses for both defensive and offensive plays.

    I will take both! (healthy that is). Too bad Yao could not stay healthy:(

    The great wall all day! But Dwight's dunks are more entertaining to watch.
