Baron acted like a boyscout compared to how i would have acted had i thrown it down like that. a sick dunk deserves cockiness. the nba is for entertainment. man, i wish the rockets played more like the warriors, or at least shot as well as the warriors.
WOW just amazing!! Whats the big deal celebrating a big dunk like that, I would do the same, he didnt go and yell at AK face or any jazz players, he celebrated with his teammates, thats good, nothing bad there. And of course, AK will be crying all week
I'll never be over it, but Baron just made me feel a tiny bit better about losing to the Jazz in Game 7. I love it.
imo, TMac's dunk over Bradley is not even close to this one. Bradley didn't really challenge TMac while AK gave his all to try to block Baron but failed miserably.
The link from nba.com for the Baron Davis dunk. Should open right up in Windows Media Player or any other player: http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/nba/nbacom/pod/pod_070511.asx Looks waaaay better live action from the side and with commentary. Instead of an overhead slow motion view.
I don't know what was more bad ass....the dunk or Stephen Jackson dusting Baron's shoulders off after the dunk.
Hell yah that was badass too- in situations like this I enjoy seeing an athlete celebrate- it's entertainment, but this was a crucial game for the Warriors and a dunk like that can just suck all of the momentum out from the Jazz and give it to GSW- exactly what it did... it was the icing on the cake for Golden state and I bet all their fans can't wait to buy that poster in the fan shop soon.
holy shiat I missed the game <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cwwvSHnm640"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cwwvSHnm640" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
The warriors are truly amazing. I have not felt this much excitement for NBA basketball since the Michael Jordan era. The warriors have the extra factor that all NBA teams lack in that they actually inspire people. Watching those Golden State Warriors is like watching Leonidas and his 300 Spartans in real life, only its ten times better.
Wow. If you can't give Baron credit for that I'd say you must be hating. Even AK gave him props for that dunk. Absolutely sick. Didn't think he could still get up like that.
Mneh.. I can do better There is no way in hell Utah will ever win in that building with those fans rocking so hard. If only that dunk was a game winner, we'd see half of all those fans on the court.
Sorry for the double post.. Imagine if this was the Rockets tonight against the Warriors. That could've been Yao or Battier or Hayes or all of them together.
Yea that could have been all of the rockets... AK was up high too, but dang baron with the sick extension. I bet thats going to be on some commercial next year for league pass or NBA tv or something.
Call me an old timer but I think there is more of an affect on your opponent if you don't make a huge, "I've never done anything like this before, and will most likley get packed by you 75% of the time for the rest of the series, so I'm going to get my money's worth now and make an A## out of my self and the rest of my rec-runnin crew" I understand gettin crazy if thats thats a lead changing momentum changer, but there up by 20, he extends his off hand into a late jumping weakside defender. Much like T-Mac on Bradley, great dunk ............lose the series
Plain and simple....this is what you call stepping up when it counts...wish our player (TMac) had the balls to take over or shoot the ball when the game is on the line. I haven't seen anyone post this yet but Tmac deffered to you after Utah tied it at 88-88 (game 7). The guy didn't want to shoot and which made me sick...I hope we trade him.
