00:00:00
Someone asked me to ask you about the
00:00:01
Yaming incident.
00:00:02
>> So, we're playing China at the 2004
00:00:04
Olympics. We needed to beat China to go
00:00:06
through to the quarterfinals. It was
00:00:07
neck and neck the whole way and Yaoing
00:00:08
was absolutely killing us in the game. I
00:00:10
don't think he missed the shot the whole
00:00:11
game. We're getting towards the fourth
00:00:13
quarter and Yaoing was on four fouls.
00:00:14
How do we get the fifth foul on Yaoing?
00:00:16
He got a rebound and he came down with
00:00:18
it and I stole it from him. As I stole
00:00:19
it off him, he like turned to me to get
00:00:21
it back off me and I dumped it off to
00:00:23
Shawn Marks and Shawn Marks absolutely
00:00:25
posterized him with this amazing dunk
00:00:27
like right on his head. Not many people
00:00:28
posterize Yao Ming. here's my
00:00:29
opportunity. So I jumped in front of Yao
00:00:31
Ming and I was like in your face and
00:00:33
I've probably said a few other things.
00:00:34
As soon as I sort of felt him put his
00:00:35
hands on my chest, I've got this guy. He
00:00:37
gave me a hard push and to be honest, I
00:00:39
didn't even need to flop. He just pushed
00:00:40
me and told me to get out of his face
00:00:41
and I went sliding along the floor and
00:00:43
the referee just gave me the get up. No
00:00:45
foul called at
