Mikki Moore doesn't get to dunk on many 7-foot-6 people, like he did Thursday with a resounding slam over Shawn Bradley. But it's not something entirely new to him, either. Bradley was the victim last time, too.

And so was the Maverick center's response.

"Shawn and I have a little bit of a history, you could say, of bumping into each other," Moore said.

Bradley retaliated for Moore's dunk Thursday with an elbow to the stomach as he ran past, an action that referee Gary Zielinski spotted. He quickly whistled a technical on Bradley.

Same thing happened earlier in his career, Moore said.

"I caught him with a good [dunk] when I was in Detroit," Moore said, "and he reacted the same way. He threw an elbow after I dunked."

In fact, Moore said, "on the next play, [Jerry] Stackhouse went down and tried to dunk on him, and Bradley head butted him. That's how he plays."
