Does anyone remember DeWayne Scales, who played for LSU? He was part of the team that went 31-4 and made it to the Final Four, losing to Indiana. Rudy Macklin, Howard (Hi-C) Carter, Leonard Mitchell, Greg (the Cookieman) Cook, etc were also on that team. Dale Brown was the coach. Anyway, he had a spin move turnaround that was unbelievable. It was not as refined as Dream's and, to me, it almost looked to be a blind shot. I was wondering if Dream learn his Dreamshake from this guy. He was 1-2 years ahead of him in college.
Just looked at it. UNBELIEVABLE!!! From blocking MJ in college to abusing Ewing in the NBA Finals. nWo34Life, thank you very much. The block of Starks at the end of Game 6 gave me chill bumps all over again!
I just downloaded it....OMFG...great edit....well done. And MAN I MISS DREAM !! He was so quick and skilled.......never another one like him. DD
Man that is awesome and do I miss Dream!!!! They should make Yao watch that on a continuous loop. That is what he is missing, that fire/aggressiveness. Dream was unstoppable and absolutely amazing. Other teams knew they were going to get abused and were scared of Dream. He exuded a confidence that let other know they were about to get schooled. I'd love to see Yao get that "it" factor that Dream had.
Sweet editing job! Man, I get seriously bummed when I see the interplay between Dream and Ralph and think about what might have been.
Guys, don't thank me for the editing job - thank TheReasonSF3. I'm just posting the video. If Hakeem was still around and playing in his prime, he would be schooling these new kids on the block.... Damn, I miss him!
IIRC Chamberlain's fall-away was something like the 'dreamshake' and it was money. He didn't score 100 points in a game just dunking the ball. Some of the old-timers on the board help me with this, I know he had the fall-away but was it similar to the Dreamshake?
Amen! What's truly amazing is how he came into the league an absolute force of nature. Sure, he was pretty raw, but he'd learned a lot from Guy V. and his staff, and he just kept learning. By his second year, when they played Bird's Celtics for the championship, and eliminated the defending champion Showtime Lakers in the WC Finals, Dream had become the Rockets biggest threat. I'll never forget seeing the TV coverage of the series, when they had a camera on Pat Riley scribbling on a chalk board just before a game, "CONTAIN AKEEM!!!" That was how good he was by the end of his second year. With Sampson still playing at an All Star level, it was Dream that Riley made the focus of the Lakers defense. And they could not stop him. Simply amazing.
