Luc Solar Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 Originally posted by Pedantic What would be interesting is to see a 5'7" white boy try to dunk. And it looks like Luc is about to taste some wonderful rimcheck pie. ... the ball slipped.. But I didn't get hurt too bad, the asphalt is not as hard as you might think. I was up and running the next week! Btw - I bet I could manage it if I was 5´7", and my vertical is by no means special. On top of that I have midget-like hands. My fingers are shorter than my wife's! (How embarrassing is that!) But if you want to see a truly disastrous rimcheck (assuming I understood the term "rimcheck"correctly), check this out: That was one humiliating attempt. I'm never, ever going to try it again! But hey... I do occasionally manage to survive a dunk-attempt so STFU, STFD, GTFOH and...ummm.....you know; stuff.
HBK Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 Yeah, Spud should have won every dunk competition he entered on athletic ability alone. He only won once in '86. Unfortunately, he competed vs Jordan and Dominique Wilkins. 'Nique was the best to watch though. They didn't call him the human hilight film for nothing. Muggsey (how the he!! do u spell that?) started out with the Bullets if I remember correctly. He and Manute Bol (7'7") made for an interesting pair. He was never a great shooter, good, but not great. He did end up a pretty good ball handler, floor leader and was pesky on D after he went to Charlotte. I think his time with the Bullets was more of a novelty until he proved he could compete.
ckcsaber Posted February 9, 2003 Author Posted February 9, 2003 Yeah, Muggsy was great. The only reason I really remeber him though was because we was on of the b-ball players who got their "skill" stolen in Space Jam.
ZBomber Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 Anyone just see the All-Star things? Man, those were awesome dunks! Backward under the leg dunk!
Elessar-Eärfalas Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 ya it owned this year! i was impressed, some sweet dunks throught the legs high in the air...and Peja, go Kings lol
ckcsaber Posted February 9, 2003 Author Posted February 9, 2003 Yup, Jason Richardson was amazing at the dunk contest.
ckcsaber Posted February 9, 2003 Author Posted February 9, 2003 OMG, I just saw a lil' clip of the rookie sophmore challenge, and was amazed by the last play they show in this clip. Jason Richardson gets the ball, dribbles it up to the 3 point line, bounces it off the head of his defender, Boozer, and sinks the 3 pointer. Amazing.... http://espn.go.com/nba/allstar/2003/news/2003/0208/1506109.html#
