Nene’s nasty, nasty dunk on Yao Ming
I saw this live on NBA Coast-to-Coast last night and screamed out loud despite having a sore throat and recovering from being sick. I reported it on Interbasket’s Twitter, but that was just text and I know most of you don’t follow it just yet. So I wasn’t able to come up with the video until I rolled over to Ball Don’t Lie this morning. Hey I love Yao and I know Yao gets smashed on a lot, but this one was particularly nasty…
That was a facial. Seriously, a lot of slam dunks get categorized as “___ getting dunked on” but really, there are only a small amount of them that actually can be counted as “dunking on someone. This one is a really good example of what “getting dunked-on” should embody. Yeah, I said it was the model in which others should be compared.
And don’t forget to check out Chris Webber’s and Gary Payton’s reaction to the Brazilian’s jam heard ’round the world as they were in the studio watching the game as it happened. It’s priceless.
