    Brooks is a terrific player, and if he could perform the way he did today, he will secure a nice rotation spot.

    Brooks has a weird way of positioning his feet though. It's hard to describe, but it seems like he bends his feet inwards. He does it most obviously when he positions himself before he shoots.

    AB dunks in warm ups all the time and not just simple dunks. It was only a matter of time till he got a nasty one in a game.

    We need to run this play more often. If AB can finish it imagine Tmac or Landry.

    This game right here just proves that Brooks is better at being a scorer than a point guard, just like Steve Francis. That is how I think Brooks would be used best. Let Barry run the point and put Brooks at the two.

    That play was amazing! I had to back it up and watch again to make sure that was Brooks. Then watch it again 5 more times for fun.

    Brooks on the receiving end of an alley-oop? Who'da thunk it?

    As if that wasn't enough... later in the game, Brooks went up high again to deflect an alley-oop pass to Durant right at the bucket. Anybody got a video of that?

    It's amazing he could do that considering how short he is.

    It might be a better play for Brooks cause he can gets by his man so easy!

    And people said he was too little, and he couldnt dunk! :D
    I think Aaron Brooks have future on the NBA, not as a superstar level, but he will be a good backup PG.

    I agree with this. He has a score first mentality. We should play him to his strengths. Let's not force him into becoming something he's not.
