Yao's block of Antonio Davis' dunk attempt

Thanks for the hard work Ecinokc

 

Good job,thx!!

 

ecinokc, good job.

Would you be able to find a video cip or a photo showing Yao's block of MJ's shot in Rox's overtime loss to Wizards?

 

NBA's best block of the year, unfortunately those stupid refs were blind.

 

Thanks for the videos! Made for some good watching

 

Wow, thanks for the videos!

 

Thanks for the vids, I appreciated it alot since I dont get much Rockets coverage here.

 

This thread deserves to be sticky.

A lot of people may not yet read this because they think this is just a regular commentary. Wish that DoD changes the thread's title to put a video clip words on it.

 

Awesome video clips! I was very interesting in seeing that block live after seeing a photo of it on Yahoo.com. Thanks for putting up those videos. What's interesting about the Yao block is that it isnt even CLOSE to a foul! Sometimes blocks are close to being a foul with contact or whatever but that block was so clean it isnt even funny. There is NO body contact whatsoever! I am not sure what the refs were thinking, perhaps that Yao got his arm or something.

I have a feeling after the refs around the league see that blown call and seeing that Yao does have the ability to make that type of game changing play, Yao will GET that call from now on. Sometimes it is about respect and about doing it. Yao made the play, has the ability and from now on should get that call.

Great thread, just great to see those clips
superb Work

 

Deuce they called it a goaltend brotha, even MJ can't get calls like what you described...

 

Although, I believe it was clean. I can see why they called it a foul. What you don't see in this video clip is Yao body against Davis's body when he made the block. Yao did not touch davis's arms but his body did slam into Davis's body a little bit when he came over from the right to reject it. The official was under the basket so he saw this and called. I thought it was weak because although it technically was foul, they seldomly call it.

 

Thank you so much. I missed the wizard game so I did not see that block on MJ before. It looks very clean to me.

 

especially in the last few minutes of a close game...

 

That's as harsh as that Olajuwon block on Kevin Johnson that had him nearly breaking his tailbone.

 

YOU RULE!!!

THANKS!

 

Nice clips. Thanks for sharing.

 

that's great stuff

thank you so much.

Any more?
