I don't think thats the reason at all. I actually ran into him in downtown last friday on Main St. after the Utah game and just looking at the dude you can tell that he is a specimen. As you can see from the posted videos he can do all the off the backboard dunk stuff but he's a modest player (just the way tmac is now) with extremely great athletic ability. Even on break aways sometimes he'll just go for the layup. He's also so good at the 3 ball that sometimes we forget about his first class athleticism. His first step is very quick and his vertical jump is second only to Tmac's. Next time you see him go for a rebound high in the air just watch where he peaks and youll know what I'm talking about.
What a party pooper you are. Debbie Downer in the house FYI, Luther's Dunk was better. Emeka didn't jump much, he was caught flatfooted.
DDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYMMMMMM!!! thanks for the vid upload, RAID!! wow imagine if Luther throws a tomahawk at the second fastbreak.... I would have had a heart attack
If he would have only done a 360 from the free throw line, I think he would have immediately passed Hakeem as the favorite Rocket in franchise history.
Great job Raid. But there's a much clearer version online at nba.com Click on the video link next to the Rockets Lakers game and you can see crystal clear highlights including the dunk.
Wow already 4 pages on this. I had no idea Luther had that in him, just posterizing Turiaf. Toyota Center absolutely went nuts over it and it was really the exclamation point to a great night at TC.
I watched Luther's dunk on NBA.com broadband because the stupid school bans all youtube videos . Still, WHAT AN AMAZING DUNK FROM LUTHAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The last minute of my life... "OVER! Turiaf..." rewind "OVER! Turiaf..." rewind "OVER! Turiaf..." rewind "OVER! Turiaf..." rewind Great dunk Luther, I knew you could dunk, I didn't know you could dunk like THAT
I was at the game and was taking the video with my crappy digital camera when Luther Head dunked the ball.... Even though you can't see him dunk the ball, you can hear the crowd reaction to both of his dunks http://download.yousendit.com/5AEB1BF216F4229B i tried to youtube but i couldn't... if anyone ones to upload it to youtube feel free to do so... Just thought some people might enjoy it...
