Ah, I was wondering how I missed the scream. Not that I think KG would have done that anyway, although it makes for some amusing mental imagery.
Watching today's NBA top10 convince me more that NBA.com hates Yao. Miller's drive dunk top 1? Gotta be kidding me. Yao's was 10X more sensational than that.
Yao plays hard but I still think he plays soft sometimes. But Eddie Curry has to be the softest big man playing in this game right now. Compared to him, Yao looks like a rock. Eddie Curry is a super joke.

From the official rules of the NBA. Section VIII-Pivot a. A pivot takes place when a player, who is holding the ball, steps once or more than once in any direction with the same foot, with the other foot (pivot foot) in contact with the floor. b. If the player wishes to dribble after a pivot, the ball must be out of his hand before the pivot foot is raised off the floor. If the player raises his pivot off the floor, he must pass or attempt a field goal. If he fails to follow these guidelines, he has committed a traveling violation. According to the NBA a player may attempt a field goal after lifting his pivot foot.
