    Everything had to be perfect for that to happen. I think the debate as to whether there is a god or not was settled last night.

    Olajuwon had a beautiful solo fast break dunk on Portland in the playoffs one year. I believe he took 5 steps from about half court and dunked. To this day do not know how he got away with it. But it was a thing of beauty.

    Watching the replay, you can see that Tmac's mouth just popped open in disbelief.

    I think he may have dropped his gum on the court. :D

    mmm, it's a little tough to see Tmac's jaw on that clip.

    Nice Gangstarr quote, with the rocket influence.

    Looks like JB was the first one off the bench. I know he can appreciate behind-the-back moves.

    nice, very webberesque, and even moreso because he's 7'6 and has other skills that help his team to win. He also doesn't choke in the 4th quarter.

    8 steps 3 dribbles from catch to finish, travelling half court. This is just amazing.

    My goodness.

    I shared the .gif image of Yao's move to another board I frequent. I swear, a couple of dooshbags over there ... trying to call it "travelling." Travelling? WTF?!?

    (Yes, I'm keeping this week's dooshbag theme chugging along.)

    I haven't seen the clips yet, but I'm referring to the REPLAY during the actual game. It showed an angle from under the basket, and you could see Tmac's expression. It was great. :D

    First do you know how to count dribbles? Are you sure it is 3?

    It was 4 dribbles, but you are spot on as far as the "amazing" part.

    Uhmm......dude he is 7'-6" tall....his dribble from the floor to his hand is probably 4 feet or more and for him it is more like dribbling a tennis ball rather then a basketball. :D

    And in the words of Calving Murphy......."Oh my goodness!!!" :eek:

    I think we found our future point guard. Now we need a center.
