When is Yao gonna stop letting people dunk on him? I mean I like the push..the push was awesome...but if he lets european players dunk on him like that then next year its just going to be the same ol' YAO. If he's 7'6" and he's about to get dunk on wouldn't you rather see him foul the player instead. When was the last time you seen YAO in foul trouble. NEVER.. no ONCE against the LAKERS. FOUL THE DUDE. COME ON. IT'S EMBARRASSING. P.S. THE PUSH WAS GREAT. HOPES HE BRINGS THAT FRUSTRATION WITH HIM NEXT SEASON.
You've only seen Yao in foul trouble once? You must not watch many games. He picks up a lot of cheap fouls, especially early.
What are you talking about. Yao was getting into crummy foul trouble a lot in the second half of last season. A bunch of those was offensive fouls that shaq does all the time. We tell Yao to develop a power game, so he dips his shoulder a little. He immediately gets called for a foul and BOOM he gets gun-shy and starts tossing up turnarounds. And then he gets criticized for not being more physical. It's a no win situation.
The person that dunked over him was actually Sean Marks who plays for the spurs, well not really since he played behind duncan,rose and horry. He only stared yao down, but his teamate on the otherhand didnt. Nothing controversial was said after the game or nething. http://www.oaklandtribune.com/Stories/0,1413,82~10835~2341944,00.html Former Bear Marks enjoys dunk on Yao By Jeff Faraudo, STAFF WRITER ATHENS, Greece -- In the final analysis it changed nothing, but Sean Marks had his Olympic moment. With 71/2 minutes left in New Zealand's 69-62 basketball loss to China on Tuesday morning, Marks picked up a ball deflected from the hands of NBA star Yao Ming and threw down a fierce two-handed dunk on the Houston Rockets' 7-foot-6 center. Marks, the former Cal standout playing in his second Olympics, briefly stared down Yao, before New Zealand teammate Dillon Boucher took that one step further. He chest-bumped the big man, only to be shoved 10 feet on his backside by the once-timid center. "I was just trying to get the guy to react," Boucher said, "trying to inspire the guys. I was trying anything out there." Advertisement Yao got the last word, finishing with 39 points and 13 rebounds against a New Zealand defense that stubbornly tried much of the game to single cover him. Yao responded to the invitation by scoring 35 points in the first 371/2 minutes, including 21 straight Chinese points during one stretch. The 6-10 Marks said he had played against Yao several times before, but he acknowledged he'd never thrown down a dunk on the big man. "I'm not going to rub it in or anything. I have tremendous respect for him," Marks said. "I've got one little notch on my belt, but how many times is he going to do that to me in the future? Actually, Marks hopes plenty. He spent last season signed as a practice player for the San Antonio Spurs and recently re-upped for another year. His goal continues to be a career in the NBA. Although he hopes to contribute more than serving as a practice player against Tim Duncan, Marks said the experience has made him a better player. "It's fantastic. To play against an MVP player like that is just incredible," Marks said. "It's such a great organization, I love the people (in San Antonio)." The loss to China was cast in the first half, when the Kiwis turned the ball over 18 times while falling behind 29-20. New Zealand used its perimeter shooting to keep the game competitive, but it never drew closer than four points in the second half. The problem was Yao, who had an offensive counterpunch to every blow New Zealand landed with their 3-point shoting. "Obviously, he's incredible, a tough matchup for anybody," Marks said. Added Boucher, "He dominated the whole game. We wanted to try to play him straight up, give him a but of the muscle game. But he just turned around and used his finesse game with his turn-around jumper. "He's a class player." The loss dropped the Aussies to 0-2 in the sixth-team pool. Serbia & Montenegro loom on Thursday, with Argentina and Spain completing their pool. China is 1-1.
Everyone dunks on yao because he is 7'6", not because he is chinese. If you just dunked on a player that is 7'6" it would probably feel like you just climbed mount everest. If yao was 6'7" people could care less about dunking on him but since he is the tallest player in the game he is a target for people who want to make a name for themselves.
In the case of the Aussie's dunk, I think he did it because he was a step ahead of Yao and knew that his highest percentage shot in that situation was a dunk.
Okay, I watched the .gif. That **** is so ****ing hilarious. I feel bad for Yao that his Guards suck. Maybe Steve and Cuttino should defect.
HAVE YOU SEEN SHAQ, DUNCAN, KG, DIRK ETC. GET DUNKED ON???? NO! ONLY YAO GETS DUNKED ON CAUSE OF HIS CULTURE. IT SUCKS
Duncan got it slamed on his face by Bryant during the playoffs. KG got dunked on by Baron Davis when he was just a rookie, Dirk got a off the backlboard facial on him by TMac. Eevry big man will get dunked on because he plays in the middle where the dunks happen. Go away with your fake noise
