    (for those of you who missed it last night)

    Battier himself has admitted to only dunking once a season. Well, here it is people, enjoy.

    Clyde "is that a dunk shot by Shane Battier? Ohhh my goodness!"

    Was he screaming while he dunked? If so ... that's hilarious.

    I love his teammates giddy faces afterward. Definitely lightened things up for people.

    Am I the only one who thinks that his pornstar stache is really starting to work for him? I'm kinda wanting the whole team to go along with it.....

    Thanks for the video.

    Some may think I'm asking too much of Shane but I think he should dunk way more. He's not the only one but I've been pleading for this for a long time for the simple fact that a dunk is a high percentage shot, has a better shot at getting 2pts + the foul shot and it is more aggresive thus creating more chance for the AND-1.

    Shane Battier has shown to be able to dunk and take it to the rim but is still reluctant. He his like a Tracy light, way lighter though, in the sense that both do not play at their full potential. If Shane put his mind into it, he could go to the hole way more and can definetly dunk it home.

    I hope he will do it, especially if we make the playoffs because we need him this year to step it up even more than years past.

    On a side note: the facial hair could work if he goes with the full goatee, moustache and around the mouth. That would make the guy way more intimidating.

    It was probably the Rockets bench.. I'm guessing Lowry.. He is always so excited.

    I probably would have but was at the game last night (and forgot to record it)... it was very shocking to see him do that dunk. I'm still not sold on the "stache" he's sporting though.

    His dunk was the game-changer - he was trying to make a statement :p

    Totally forgot you were at the game with more important things going on. But hey I think it might have been "stache" power that made him dunk ;)
