Default Re: Yao Ming gets owned...

2 points about Yao getting "owned":

1) He gets pushed underneath the basket, and therefore is out of position, before Jones even gets into the lane, and
2) Unlike most NBAers and their concern for their image, at least Yao contests the shot. Most players just get out of the way and let the dunk happen so as to not be "posterized"
This is why it seems that Yao gets owned so often, he actually tries to block shots even when he has very little chance of successfully doing so.
