    You know the kid will be looking at that. There's nothing like being praised by Clyde Drexler for a dunk... he's the master!

    That's pretty awesome for a guy who's getting bounced around this season.

    ^^^^ awesome post swoly. I was thinking the same thing while replaying it over and over.



    "He's looking to attack the rim first, shoot second."

    I've been waiting for so long for the Rockets to have a guy like that. Hopefully, JT can keep developing and work his way into the regular rotation so we can see highlights like that on a nightly basis.

    It is embarrassing that the Rockets lost to this team.

    Craig Smith facepalmed so hard after the humiliation of that dunk that he went on to torch our asses good.


    So good job in lighting that fire JT.

    Craig Smith was embarassed. LOL
    The dunk was very sneaky, though. Taylor was just walking the ball in so slow, then he exploded to the rim with so much power.

    What makes the dunk so amazing is that he hesitated to drive and looked as if he was planning to pull up or dish. He never even picked up a head of steam and still took off easily from three feet outside the restricted area.

    I still think this kid can be something special given the opportunity (if he works hard this summer). He's super athletic but more importantly, very good at finishing around the rim after contact.

    You can see the exact moment he saw the opening and began lift off sequence.


    Beautiful dunk.

    Not really, considering how many guys are injured.

    I actually think the comparison is pretty apt.
