    Hi fellow Clutchfans,

    My friends and I were discussing Gerald Green's dunk last night. I told them I've seen the alley-oop windmill done before by Vince Carter and T-Mac. They didn't believe me.

    I found videos of Carter doing it during a game.

    I remember at the beginning of the 2006-2007 season, the Rockets had an open practice for Media Day and someone on Clutchfans captured a video of T-Mac doing an alley-oop windmill. Does anyone remember this, and if so, can they help me locate the video?

    Thanks!

    Why wouldn't your friend believe TMac in 2006 could do a alleyoop windmill

    Does he not watch basketball or just dumb..

    I think I went to that open practice and recorded it. Don't know if it was me who uploaded it, I do have the video somewhere in my external HD... but alas it's a maxtor, and maxtors break.

    Is your friend new to basketball or something?

    I'm sure there's a video of it. it's much easier to find than those winning playoff series videos.

    Buttzilla is, by far, one of the funniest names I've seen on this forum.

    If your friends doesn't believe that he never watched Basketball in the early/mid 2000s. T-Mac had huge athleticsm and made crazy dunks, 360s, windmills and everything.

    Tmac was elite, no one lies about his abilities because you can't make that stuff up. It was an amazing to watch him when we first had him. One of my favorite games as a Rocket was the first game of 2007-2008 I believe Houston at Lakers. The Rockets won in overtime but it was Tmac vs Kobe the whole game. I believe it is on youtube, or it was recently. They fought each other all night, it was the last time I saw Tracy play at the level. After that it was injuries and that crying.
