    Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?

    He's done tomahawks and reverse layups in games where he's hung in the air a ridiculously long time.

    In a high school dunk contest he threw the ball in the air, ended up throwing it too high, jumped up anyway, and WAITED in the air for the ball to come down, and then reversed it (obviously he only waited a few fractions of a second, but still, he definately has some SERIOUS hang time).

    what in the heck of god's name in jesus mary darwin are you talking about? Lebron has a plethora of creative move, he has the tomahawk, he also has the one where he bounces it off the ground, catches it and does a tomahawk. Theres the one where he jumps from inside the FT line and does a tomahawk. He can also toss the ball in the air, catch it and do a tomahawk as well as throw it off the backboard and catch it and do a tomahawk. In the rookie game I saw him go around the basket for a tomahawk and there was the other one where he was going up for the tomahawk AND THEN SWITCHED TO A TWO HANDED DUNK OMG!!!!O!)!!!O!O!(0!!!!) He can also do the tomahawk with his legs bent in various angles between 0 and 90 degrees-23, 45, 68 degree bend, you name it.

    LOL. I almost didn't get it at first. No doubt about it, the tomahawk dunk is certainly pretty (they should make that silhouette into his logo), but it's getting a bit old. He would have needed something fresh for the dunk contest.

    He'd come up with something for the contest.

    It's not like Josh Smith does much more than a tomahawk or reverse slam in games either. I've never seen him do a windmill in a real game.

    Just found sth funny,

    Yao ran into Stan Van Gundy this weekend in Denver. Stan asked him where he was headed. Yao said he was going to train. Stan's jaw almost dropped and said he would tell Shaq right away.

    Yao also said he hates Denver (and Salt Lake City) because of the altitude.

    ROFLMAO ... man, this is priceless. The NBA is laying it on THICK. The introductions of these guys coming out of a Flintstones-meets-Jetsons space cave. And can Paul Pierce smack any harder on that gum? Good gosh.

    Tracy made Kobe look like a shrimp! It's a trip seeing them standing next to each other. Of course, it's a trip seeing Yao stand next to anybody! :cool:

    All right... let's get ready to rumble!!
