    Picture #3 was hilarious! Payton looks like a stick figure flying through the air! :D

    Edit: This is a better picture I had in mind....more stick! Less, person.

    LOLOLOLOLOLOL! I think the designer of this figure got his inspiration from Payton... Wait, is this the logo of "the Gary Payton Foundation for Early Child Education?"

    Add Mark Blount of the Boston Celtics to that list. He suffered a thigh/hip contusion battling for a defensive rebound against "The Great Wall". Also Corey Magette suffered an elbow to the nose. Brian Grant got an elbow to the jaw/throat area, as well. Scott Williams last season with the Mavericks got an elbow.

    I rewatched the Sonics game this morning, and Rashard's face collided with Yao's deltoid.

    Must keep Deke for at least one more year to teach Yao how to sharpen his elbows some more.

    Yao may send them a 'get well' card.

    I have the video and would be glad to send it to you. Not sure how to do it, but maybe I could do it through "YouSendIt."

    I watched that video over and over, an instant classic. GP looks like he got blown through a brick wall. :)

    I remember Reggie Miller has also been flattened by a Yao's pick too. It was either last season or the season before.

    Not at all. With Yao, if somebody gets hurt, it's completely unintentional.
