Maybe the league will make Landry wear the Hannibal mouthpiece since he developed a habit of loosing his teeth.
I just watched the video of the collision but the thing that impresses me a lot about Landry is how calmly he walks off the floor and goes to the trainer. He just got three teeth knocked out and is acting like its practically nothing. Now that is tough.
I was at the game and he walked right by us on his way to the locker room, I just thought he'd busted his lip. Considering how bad it was he was very matter of fact about the whole thing.
I don't see how that move "avoids" a defender. I can see more how it is used to either increase being fouled and/or keeps the defender at bay since both elbows are flying by their face. I guess you can elaborate how it helps you avoid the defender.
God I love Carl Landry. I totally have a man crush. <object width="388" height="394" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="ep"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="movie" value="http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/swf/1.1/cvp/nba_embed_container.swf?context=rockets&videoId=teams/rockets/2009/12/21/ZOOM0002mov-1160668" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/swf/1.1/cvp/nba_embed_container.swf?context=rockets&videoId=teams/rockets/2009/12/21/ZOOM0002mov-1160668" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="388" wmode="transparent" height="394"></embed></object>
Seems to be happening with NBA.com video links these days. I think it's posted above in link form, though.
Man, did you guys read everywhere all the articles are about Dirk "Big Softie" Nowinski? It's disgusting to see a flopper who elbowed our player in the first place got all these attention while acting like a baby. Sports journalism just got more disgusting these days. I wish his arm rot in hell so he cannot elbow any other players in the NBA.
beautiful. just noticed this quote on ESPN's live daily dime: [Comment From A-Pay! (MN)] Dirk dominant again this quick after losing an elbow? Rob Mahoney (The Two Man Game/TrueHoop Network): Little known fact: Dirk's elbow was actually fortified by the addition of a few of Carl Landry's teeth. He's faster, stronger, and more powerful than ever before.
