    Sure, I might get flamed from some people on here saying, "why didn't you just put this in one of the other 100 T-mac threads?" I say to those people, this cannot afford to be lost amidst the annuls of back and forth arguments and witty responses. This is art in its purest form, and in my opinion one of the standouts of the already long list of breathtaking moves this man has given us.

    Dude thats the beauty of this video. THAT WAS NO FLOP. Watch again closely, Giricek was expecting him to go right and T-mac sold it so well that basically he just faked the sh*t out of him. That was one of the best fakes I have ever seen. :eek:

    Is Giricek out for the rest of the series? I don't see him on the injury report, but I know his ankles are broken and I heard that he also has a severe case of hurt feelings. Any news?

    PS- I was trying to figure out why, for 4 straight games, Gordan insisted on guarding Tracy by hugging him. Now we know he was just hanging on for dear life.

    I can't remember if I've ever seen a behind-the-back ankle breaking crossover.

    That was truly sick.

    I know how you feel I must have watched it like 25 times already and each time I get chills. The replay with the crowd at the height of its roar really adds to the overall awe of the video itself.

    I totally agree. I was watching sportscenter and they only showed the part where he went by Kirilenko. That was one of the best moves I have seen in a while(besides Baron). Tmac and Baron are making some pretty awesome plays. :)

    I like how the ref looks like he's doing the robot & is in perfect focus. Looks like TMac is jumping over him!

    Both of those moves were sweet by TMac...I wish he save some of that for the road and that he brings the same energy and intensity with him on Thursday. Glad they got the win as this Utah team is just tough to play against...One more and I'll welcome the Warriors or Mavericks because of the entirely different style of play...

    Did you not watch the little segment after the game on TNT?

    Charles and Kenny where like OOh, he got his ankles broken on that one.

    Thanks! It doesn't capture the beauty of the play as well as I'd hoped, but it's not bad.
