Best Dunk of the Year

I was at this game last night and I was seating 5 seats behind the grizz bench so seeing that up close was :shock: Thats the first time I've actually seen Yao get stuck between the ball and the opponent. He was like smushed, in other dunks people did on Yao, it was because Yao didnt get up high enough, but on this one it was just domination.

Look at Gasol and Howard they look like they saw a ghost. or maybe its just Seeing yao not a dominent as everyone says he is. i hope more players start taking it to the Hoop vs YAO. i want to see J-rich dunk in yao's face. after he gets healthy of course 8-)

Did you see Yao, LOL. He had his hand in Swift's face. After he dunked it, Yao turns around, sees that the dunk was completed, and almost immediately puts down his arm and tries to walk it off... :lol:

this was a nasty dunk indeed. swift didn't even have a running start like most of his spectacular dunks- he dribbled 3 times in the post toward the basket with Yao on him then BAM just exploded

Yao just didn't get that hand high enough, and Swift jumped high enough to go over it.

I seen that game, and Yao, people forget, had 4 blocks. Yao is still a great shot blocker, especially on the ball because he is so tall. He has a tough time coming over from the help side because his lateral quickness is lacking and he has surprising poor anticipation on the defensive end.
The task of the artist is to translate for us the essence of things we take for granted.

Yeah that dunk was a nasty in your face one, probably a top 10 of the season so far.

I don't even think it's in the top 10, just my opinion though.
Josh Smith probably made 10 better dunks on his own already :lol:

I don't think that's the issue. Swift is a lot quicker that Yao, and he jumped higher than him. The ball was above Yao's hand.
