Play of the Day: Thomas Gardner

[TheMaddster18]

"he like a squirrel in a tree!" lol

[niels20051995]

now he plays for Antwerp Diaomond Giants!! yey!!:p (belgian team, my favourite team)

[MinaMonsha]

I grew up with Thomas in Portland and went to SEI with him. Big head tuned into a Star!

[FreshZerglings]

wow how did Yi get dunked on!? he was behind Gardner by 3 feet. Look at it this way, Yi is still in the NBA but Gardner is not. Also Yi can do that dunk easily.

[AirMarv21]

Thomas Gardner is my cousin lol i think he blocked Yi too lol

[lokeisaksson]

Welcome To America! Welcome to America YI!

hmmmm... isn't that a bit racist? xD

[Philipvdp]

I think he played in Belgium before going to the Bulls.

[aznpowerdaniel]

damn i remember sittin behind these guyz on this play

it scared the shit out of me lol

[xmgnmmo]

Gardner is a fuckin animal, my favorite player at the u of mizzou, dude can shoot the 3 to, is on the raptor summer league team, I remember when he dropped 40 on kU

[hecxegon]

damnnnnnnnn that guy can jump, really cool.

[nicolasfranck13]

i don't understand i m belgian and i have 11 years old sorry but thomas gardner did not play in pepinster (belgium)

[KingofZona]

I have a facebook message from him saying how he played in belgium that was from a year ago almost. I used to go to Missouri when he did. What does he do now?

[BlackStunna818]

Thomas Gardner is so good that...

The Chicago Bulls announced today that the team has waived guard Thomas Gardner. In a subsequent move, the team also announced that it has picked up forward Demetris Nichols on waivers.

OWNED

[Cleofis23]

Thats my lil CUzzin

[Ko0LKiiD786]

thats my older brother.

[Cleofis23]

mike? I know this aint you on here!

[Ko0LKiiD786]

mike?

naw i aint mike foo.

im chris.

[Cleofis23]

i only know Daryl and Mikey as his bros...u probly lil cuz thats always with mike..

[james222333]

People here are afraid that someday Yi or Yao will be the super star. It is fear, all about fear.

[vinlanz]

its clear that yao's superstar now..

and i think yi will be a qualified star not for long

[james222333]

give him sometime he will excell. Just be patient.

[huyvong]

WHATTT!!..nice job young man.

[BlackStunna818]

WTF was Thomas Gardner when Yi dropped 16 pts, 8 boards, and 2 blocks in a upset over the CHICAGO BULLS! FUCK ALL YOU HATERS!

[BlackStunna818]

Not only that, Dwayne Wade got owned on a block in the World Championships. Does that mean D-Wade sucks? All you fucken haters just hate on this kid cuz he's Chinese. If you actually watched his actual games, vs one play...you would know this kid got game. Check Lebron shooting airballs and getting dunked on in SPL, don't mean Lebron sucks.

[jm0n3y21]

ditto

[supermn05]

I agree and scary part is he's improving so quickly!

[BlackStunna818]

This wasn't even impressive, Yi is not even getting dunked on. He was trying to block a player from behind. If you guys want to see a true poster, check NOCIONI dunks on KG. Does that mean KG sucks because he got dunked on? Last time I checked KOBE put his nutz in Nash's mouth, yet people seem to be all over Nash's nuts. This is not And1 people, 1 dunk doesn't equal a great player.

[guyvh]

WELCOME TO AMERICA

[ikhung]

nothing special.. GO YI

[bulls7123]

lol Welcome to America!

[dimayatsenko]

not bad

[hamzaman123]

wen he dunked it and he holded on his legz were as high as the side of the backboard

[shugmac]

Yi the worst pick in the 07 draft sorry milwakee but your team looks like its in for another shit year.

[youcan819]

GO BACK TO CHINA

[KFire]

what the fuck? you fucking racist prick. FUCK YOU ASS HOLE SHIT.

[domlofranco]

[ballerboy422000]

damn im glad he is on our chicago bulls GO BULLS!!!

[misetshu]

I love NBA

[imbet1]

schooled Yi. Ha ha ha. ang yabang kasi nyan!

[detroitkilla1]

that was pretty nice

[ravi18364]

It was no chance he could stop it. he jumped too late and he was behind him. so no matter how good you are u cant stop that unless u go in front and jumped

[Tristen42]

haha i agree wit that last comment haha

[triplen3t]

welcome to america...lmao

[ChainStar]

That was insane

[Germy2007]

woah snap! that was insane!

[schov8716]

Johnny "Red" Kerr is the man. He is not the best play by play man but still great to listen to. He is the Ron Santo of Basketball and Ron Santo is the shit!

[levinevan]

Jonny "Red" Kerr is such a bad announcer. I hope this guy makes the team. He seems to have potential and can come in to be a bigger SG

[ihiphopanonymous]

commentators exaggerated..not that impressive. But damn...how many athletes do the Bulls need? They're loaded with athletic wings.

[Emilene07]

i will cry yesterday

[parkd01]

if you guys think the play sucks then lets see a better one on that same day.

[reha2]

bu Yi tam mal.  ( yi sucks )

[thepod24]

lol "Climbed on Yi like a squirrel on a tree!!"

[themblan]

haha

[toniixx]

nothing special

[Khmerlarbeyrontor]

Stupid dunk of da day.

[bullsbengordon]

it's play of the day because he is a rookie.

[empeperor]

nonsense

[gila0511]

wtf was that

[MosesLatu]

maybe that's why it was "Play of the day" not play of the fuckin century... in other words it was a boring day!!!

[FrillyFuzz]

i don't see what's so great about this, it does look pretty much normal.

[hadelen23]

its just a normal dunk wats so gud about it lol its fucin stupid

[hightower92]

DUNK

[sabarwolf30]

How tall is he? he looks kinda short compared to the other guys

[StylesFan94]

OMG

[JayeNooB]

ouch if he let go i swear he would've went flying

[mrheismen20]

aya dats my dude i went to high school wit him

[Kobeownzu81]

Owned. good to see chicago back in buisness some of the critics are thinking east finals? wow. im excited thats my hometown lol well see how they do

[shkibb]

the bulls are gonna do awesome this year

[xVioLaToR15x]

oh yea man...but there are sum trade rumors about ben gordon bein traded for kobe..hopefully its not true..ben is gonna b sumthin amazing

[fenderguitars7223]

true that.

[aceman4533]

Yi reminds me of bradly.He's so tall so there gonna make him into a target.Wait till VC gets a whole of him.

[younowhoitis1111]

[CABLOW]

hhaahah yeah vc gonna posterize Yi and it will on on all the highlight reels from now till forever

[no1zoe2]

wow, now thats coool

[wowkwowk]

[meloft]

What!!!!!!Amazing!!!!!!

[DaLovaMan]

He aint no athlete he's shawn bradley

[StylesFan94]

tht was dirty

[stunna2255]

damn he got yoked up.. he should have called a time out and sat the bench after that one

[Ndgold22]

lol what a goofy goober he is he never gotta be betta then yao

[hadelen23]

fuck all the fucin chinese players in the nba they all idiots

[kryshtal]

haha agree

[Tommyjr12]

damn thats his 2nd time gettin dunked on i think.. Rudy Gay put him on a poster over the summer

[TheSoapiestWanger]

he like a squirrel on a tree.

[jmyli]

By that you mean all rookies are new nba bitches? Like what's so surprising about ppl getting dunked on in the nba, happens all the time to everyone! Also I HIGHLY doubt a 5'6, 15yrs old WHITE kid can dunk lol.

[zapaske2]

yi is the new nba bich

[serbpetey]

every body gets dunked on soon or later and i guess it came soon for eeee..i got dunked on in a aau tournament by the other teams center 6'7 black kid and im 5'6 and white and only 15 and he was 17 but later on in that game i dunked on a fastbreak nothing special i just dunked the ball

[75406]

Welcome to America eeeeeeeee...  What the fuck..?

No thanks!

[ashrafabdeljaber]

eeeeee is how you pronounce Yi's name (the guy that got posterized)

[jmyli]

Why don't you pronounce it with just one fuking 'e' if you appearantly can't sound out 'Yi', which you know is just such a complicated word.

[quixoto]

And to think that this guy is just the "practice player."

The Bulls are gonna have a good year I think.

[amonsterofhiphop]

not quite posterized, but the squirrel joke was a classic. but nice play none the less...... just make sure when u call it a poster that he is actually dunking on him not dunking while yi is running next to him

[jephthah007]

"He like a squirrel on a tree"

[fader3s]

i am still not willing to accept Joaquim Noah in a bulls uni. If I could get used to Deng and Duhan i think i can do it though.

[kickher05]

dude. thomas gardner is making this team. he plays some real good defense too. cant wait till this season. bulls- rockets.. finals.

[heartion]

"he climbed Yi like a squirrel on a tree!" lmao

[kobyz21]

dl nba games:

sport-scene net

sportbit org

bt davka info

[erenkara55]

good play!!!!!!!!!

[mattewitt]

Want a free xbox elite and halo 3!? Watch my video. It actually works!

[StevePlzBelieve]

Holy crap the Chicago announcers bias. "He climbed Yi like a squirrel on a tree" Yeah, he really climbed him, when Yi was BEHIND him.

[xiequfei]

posterized? not so much.

Yi was behind him all he tried to do is helping D. good dunk but posterized?na

[dragonman24]

POSTERIZED. haha

[MrsTonyParker]

who says this is not a poster.....if you try to block then its a poster...he tried to block it from behind

[caz5021]

That was sick

[zneiffer]

salafi is doing cyberterrorism in youtube right now. brainwashing ppls minds to conquer the whole world w/ islam... -.-'

[SalafiJustice]

zneiffer? cyberterrorism?  there is nothing secretive to what i'm calling you too its open for the world to see and learn and explore

[zneiffer]

dude, jus dont be so frustrated that you cant convert the whole world w/ ur religion. jus accept the co-existence among religions that promotes world peace n not w/ propagandas n bombs. respect others as u wanna respected... but ur post is really really far from the original sense on this video...

[GRD01]

ALLAH IS DEAD AND HE IS IN A TEMPLE! I guess you don't understand your religion either. And will allah smyte me for my blasphemy?

[SalafiJustice]

Allaah never dies, he has no beginning and no end. He is eternal. Allaah gives everyone respite until a term He predecreed.

[GRD01]

Muhammad is in a temple right? He's dead. Jesus is still alive.

[SalafiJustice]

ok, I understand. You see, you are comparing your god to our messenger. Muhammed sallah Allaahu 'alayhi wasalaam is a slave worshipper of Allaah (THE GOD) who is eternal. And to make it clear, the real Jesus and all the prophets were slave worshippers of God, thats why Jesus prostrated on the ground like muslims do in the bible.

[sagopazafer]

nba star mehmet okur

[namhnit]

squirrel on a tree?

[Afridi786]

Salafi...I'm muslim too, but you don't go out and try to preach on random videos where people have no interest.

[SalafiJustice]

Who are you to speak for every single person? Allaah guides when he wills and how he wills. And you're wrong many have shown interest.

[SalafiJustice]

People need to stop idolizing athletes as they will all die one day and won't be able to help you on the Day of Judgment before God. God isn't impressed by ones ability to put a ball in a hoop. It won't gain you Paradise or protect you from Hellfire. Imagine the ability of God who gave them these skills you admire. Visit understand-islam dot net to discover the noble purpose of our existence Do NOT be deceived by the vain allurements of this life. There is no god worthy of worship EXCEPT Allaah!

[GRD01]

Too bad your "God" is dead and in a temple. How could a God do anything if he is dead?

[SalafiJustice]

who told you he is dead, you're confused with religions, you need to educate yourself. its the christian god that died.

[Stratstang]

Besides, This isnt about religion...this is about Thomas Gardner who is a total friggein basketball stud...scored fourty against KU last year. Hope him and Keith Langford make the pros..both are fkin awesome why Keith cant get anytime is beyond me....

[SalafiJustice]

Stratstang...it is about religion, Basketball has become like a religion as with other sports. Just listen to your admiration for people who can do what..put a ball in a hoop? Is that what impresses you?

[Afridi786]

What exactly are you talking about? You just making up stuff? What temple are you talking about? Go get educated so you don't go around saying random incorrect stuff. Islam only has prophets...we don't believe in the divinity of any person.

[tonytouch566]

i thought this was about BASKETBALL!!!

[Stratstang]

hmm not everyon believes there is an Allah. I believe in Christ and a loving forgiving God. I think God even if patient and mercyful to those that dont believe in him. I even believe that if people die without hearing about Christ then they are judged differently then those that reject Gods love all together.

[SalafiJustice]

to Stratsang: its in EVERYONES inward inclination to believe in God, this is how we were created, some just cover it and if they die doing that then they will be in hellfire for eternity.

[absurdmike]

guess tis hellfire for eternity for me.... shame =(

[mynonsense]

good for you maybe after you die you can suck allahs di*k for eternity

[matttiegun]

Jesus fucking christ arse allah almighty... its fucking basketball. what the fuck are these cunts talking about religion for... fuck off... you're all gay and going to hell

[teabag9222]

Does Allaah really want you looking around youtube wasting your time on a computer and clicking a video named "Play of the day"?

[talvezmehanvisto]

what the hell are you talking about

[SalafiJustice]

to teabag9222: Allaah wants me to call you to His worship so you can save yourself from hellfire

[Metallica7000o]

you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours

[doaner88]

"Welcome to America."......what the crap kind of comment is that. Yi never got dunked on he was riding the Thomas Gardner like a dog. POSTERIZED is more like what Vince Carter did to that European dude in the olympics. Watch the video again people b4 saying he got "POSTERIZED"

[akonvict]

haha that's fucking right "welcome to America Mr Yi" this ain't Chinese basketball anymore !! First you got POSTERIZED by Rudy Gay on a double pump baseline slam and now Gardner showed you how it's going down in NBA BABY ! Get used to that will school you not to try to block HIGHFLYERS haha !!

[doaner88]

The Rudy Gay dunk is posterization...this is not. Dont talk down to Chinese ball players. I dont see you in the NBA. Try looking up the word b4 you comment about it. My suggestion to you is go and watch the Vince Carter dunk. You might get the idea of posterization. Also look up t-mac dunking on bradley.Videos that has Yao being "posterized" is also not bad either. Get your education first buddy and dont make remarks like the ones the commentators did. Try watching it again =]...just athought ;]

[akonvict]

hey don't get it twisted Aright I said Rudy Gay posterizes Yi but I never said this dunk was a postezization ! That Vince Carter dunk was a posterization and what else but this one ain't a posterization cause they both were in a rush you can't call that posterization !! But I'm still on my old position,Welcome to America Mr Yi ! You don't like it FUCK YOU then !

[MVowns]

HELL YEAH! yi, welcome to fucking america! HELL YEAH! he was posterized. you just don't want to admit it cause you like yi. such biased comments. why can't you accept taht yi got posterized?

[dkerr34]

haha "climbed yi like a squirrel on a tree"

[MVowns]

HAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAA

[tamrielking]

good play..

[Stedman07]

Yi got POSTERIZED

[MVowns]

HELL YEAH!

[17Curtainz]

He didn't dunk on him...

[MVowns]

he dunked over him

[vice13]

hahah welcome to america

[LuvMusic2007aa]

Check out Maestro Holland

Great ending!!!

[cenarsystems]

Change & Experience

[Capablanca7]

whatever, that was nothing. i am shorting basketball because it is cheesy just like everything else related to black america

[QJG1988]

Are you fuckin stupid? Its the PRE-SEASON! It ain't that cheesy for a game that nobody cares about you racist pussy. Pop that racist shit in my hood and get yo body found. LINKSIDE DRIVE BALTIMORE, MD 21234. Holla at me BITCH!

[dagreatmighty1]

How can you 'short' basketball? That statement sounds cheesy.

[adambaker706]

basketball is crap

[Chuggg0706]

Nice dunk... but overrated and blown out of proportions.

[Mrcowproductions]

haha squirell on a tree

[Lamarproductions]

look at my vids

[ThatBo03]

Yea this shouldn't even qualify as getting teabagged. Now when Yi got dunked on by Rudy Gay in this past summer that was nazty!

[superseedlet]

the other players of bucks are so slow? need to go to the fat farm lah

[dabulls198917]

ollllll..your not very smart are you??..most of the top players are foreign??..no....Lebron..Kobe.­.Carter...Mcgrady...Shaq...Car­melo..Bosh...Garnett...Pierce.­..Allen...Howard...Iverson...P­aul...Billups...Wallace..J.One­al...Stoudemire...Marion...I think i made my point

[mepatrick]

it looks like yi just ran into him lol

[superbatmand]

wow lets blow it out of proprotion.....gardner had a better angle...but if yi was standing right there...no way gardner would be able to dunk...yi's got hops for a forgien 7 footer

[ollllllll]

This is a weak dunk being blow out of proportion because it is over a foreign player.

Just look at the NBA now, most of the top players are foreigners. DUNCAN, TONY PARKER, YAO ,DIRK, YOU NAME IT..

[JoNBaLPhX]

nice

[nba4life10]

sweet

[wannaget]

Hmmmm...a faster, smaller player ahead on the break dunked the ball as a rookie 7' at least tried to go for the block...and does 'clattered' mean 'lightly pushed from behind'? If so, I think I clattered the guy at Walgreens today...didn't hear no whistle though

[LivingFaith]

Just appreciate the damn play

[babydawg1991]

GO BULLS!!!!!!

[Mwkick]

I didn't think it was all that impressive. To say he was on a poster was a bit much...he didnt' dunk over him. He was just fouled by him. Big deal. Who can't dunk now a days???

[bob1lurati]

He's like a squirl on a tree!

[ultimatesportsguy]

that was SICK! ultimate sports guy could have stuffed him though, check out my vids and you'll see why!

[brandenp101]

can you guys dunk? i thought so, you guys are just mad because you guys cant dunk

[jasonstheory]

Oh big deal! That was about as basic of a dunk as it gets!

I don't give a crap if I get a hundred thumbs down. IT'S THE TRUTH!

[KillaT28]

yeah your right, he just jumped up and put the ball in the basket..that's it.. no windmill or anything..

[RozzamaTRON]

WHAT?? It has nothing to do with what tricks he did, its about having the aggression to drive and dunk and the strength to hang on when he was being absolutely clattered.

If there HAD been a windmill or something, that would have been one of the best dunks since Vince in the 2000 olympics. But it was only made the play of the day in the preseason. So shut up and stop expecting him to be superhuman.

[realsexy07]

lol

[NotSoCoolAfterAll2]

nice

[remzeus]

lol culture shock

this reminds me an episode in the Simpsons when bart & milhouse went to china and played basketball to the chinese team. Bart drive straight in the court,passing all defenders and get an easy lay-up then one of the chinese team member said" Wow you can be a center".
