    Anyone have the video of Luis on that fast break where he is about to slam it down but pussed out at the end? The whole bench started to go nuts.

    Wasn't trying to be a dick or call you "rook" or anything, sorry. I don't post a lot either and there's nothing wrong with lurking. That being said, I just found it kind of funny that as opposed to all the other crazy stuff that has happened Rockets-wise over the years, you would post on this. Nothing wrong with it at all. Btw, someone else posted on it before me, so it wasn't just me who noticed ;)

    Thanks @azoghbi, didn't mean to be a d*** either, it's just annoying when you ask a serious question, as meaningless as it might be, and get all the crap thrown back at you. I think it's a legitimate question still, because nobody in the league does it as much as Asik. Nonetheless, sorry as well.

    And wow, some guy found a picture of Schola lifting his legs up, so obviously that means everytime Schola dunks, he always lifts his legs up. Seriously? Are some of you on crack?

    My question wasn't about whether it's okay to lift your legs up or show someone up from time to time. I'm perfectly fine with a basketball player shoving his jock in someone's face hanging on the rim during an intense battle, playoff game, etc. That gets the crowd going, it's a friggin' war out there.

    But from the highlight reels I've seen on Asik, he does it 100% of the time. I haven't seen him do a regular dunk. And I think it looks kinda juvenile. We could be down by 30 points and Asik would still do the leg lift thing. Which means he's either really immature, or he's pulling some Karl Malone leg kick crap (which I guess is ok if it gets defenders off him).

    Again, I recognize this may not be the biggest issue in the world, and I apologize to all of you who feel like this is a stupid question. But Asik is an outlier when it comes to this, and even if he's doing it for good reasons, I really wish some people weren't such idiots that they have to go find a picture or video of some dude other than Asik doing it once and then pretend like this is somehow the norm in the NBA. It's not.

    Like the guy who posted that Bynum and DeAndre Jordan do it all the time. Really? I just posted two video clips proving that wrong.
