I have a hard time believing he can after seeing that Sportscenter highlight of B. Diddy dunking in traffic with windmill jam over a much taller defender. Did you guys see it? OMG it was nice. It was so nice he had to take his headband off and throw it into the stands.
Steve may be more impressive on alleyoops, but I've never seen a dunk of his that surpassed what Baron Davis did tonight. Sick!
"OMG it was nice. It was so nice he had to take his headband off and throw it into the stands." I bet it wasn't so nice that he had to hang on the rim spin 90 degrees and point in the other direction.
he should since hes got a better vertical. but B diddy probably better in jumping off one leg(it s really hard to tell, coz SF's got about the same took off point for the slam)
He's 6'2 with hops but a younger Steve had more impressive dunks than Baron. See Jahide(spelling?) White dunk.
Baron's dunk tonight was better than any dunk I've ever seen Steve do in a dunk. Steve had some pretty nice ones in the dunk contest a few years back though, so I dunno. Whats up with Steve's hops though...its seems like on alot of fast breaks this year he either goes up for the dunk and decides to lay it up at the last minute, or dunks it but it looks like it barely gets over the rim. On the alley oops though he gets up easily. Is he really *that* bad off of one foot? -Nick-
of course hes not bad off one foot, many times this season he took off from that inner arch and shows some hang time they r 2 different type of dunkers, B diddy is more like a power dunker
if you can watch a replay of those 2 bigtime offensive rebounds steve got in that atlanta game then you don't need to question how good his legs are. i don't know if i've ever seen anyone at that height get so high. with those breakaways he's simply choosing not to dunk for some stupid reason.
Davis's dunks seem stronger, but steves jump is impresive, did anyone see how high he jumped to grab some rebounds against Atlanta.
i know he jumps higher than B diddy based on their reebok commercial. where B diddy's vertical is below 43 inch
ah... yes. that was perhaps the best dunk i've seen by a rocket since i've started watching bball. isn't that the one where francis ran into the lane, had no where to go (typical) because jahadi and somebody else cut him off, so he threw it off the back board, fully extended his arm horizontal with the rim because he jumped to early, but still was able to slam it home, and landed on jahadi... or something like that?
he still has his hops. Just look at the block at lebron, and alot of forced rebounds he got this season.
