    I remember jumping out of my green chair when this happened.

    It was unbelievable.

    Don't mean to ruin the moment there but look at the score in the last 5 sec. of that Mcgrady dunk. 113 Houston 111 Dallas. Houston 2-0 lead. That right there made me cry. :(

    Also, (off topic) but does anybody know where AB is these days. I swear I saw him in Sams on 45 and Richey today wearing a black button up shirt. Maybe I just miss rocket basketball. :confused:

    Who on our bench rolled on the ground after that dunk? I can't tell.

    btw: at the end of the vid, there another suggested one called "Top 10 Dunks on Shawn Bradley" haha

    The most amazing thing? In the second half of that video, Doug Collins talks about how rare that energy is for McGrady.

    So even in (arguably) the most incredible play of T-Mac's career, he still gets called out.

    Fitting.

    Interesting fact, I own that GSW "We Believe" shirt, I was that happy they beat Dallas. Also, its crazy to think back on just how many slightly above average swingmen GSW had on their roster!

    Man... T-Mac... so talented.

    I can't respect any top 10 list that doesn't have KJ on Dream....as much as I hated to see it happen. They did make a statue of it afterall.
