    From answers.com:

    Be soundly beaten or defeated, as in Our team took quite a shellacking last night.

    Clyde has a good vocabulary. What he doesn't have are game commentator skills.

    hehe.

    Do you think Luther should join the Slam Dunk contest?

    For me, Delfino kind of contorted his body to avoid contact to throw down the dunk. Luther just went up, cocked it back and threw it down...

    You don't see Vince Carter dunking around a defender, he just dunks over/on them.

    That's why I vote Luther higher on the sickness meter for this one.

    I don't think he would have a chance to win. I don't know how creative he is with his dunking?

    I give it to luther simply by looking at that picture I posted above. He goes up without real control of the ball. The fact he got it in time and adjusted makes it more impressive.

    No. Luther isn't a great dunker. That's what made this dunk so special. Not that it wasn't a great dunk, but it was unexpected. As others have said, he doesn't seem to be able to palm the ball. He wouldn't have a chance in the dunk contest.

    Steve Francis was runner up at the contest even though he can't palm the ball.

    haha, i recognized it, wanted to type something about gangsta ass playas can't run fast, but decided not to...wait, I guess I did end up typing it.

    I wonder if anyone asked him about it after the game. I wonder what he was thinking at the time and what happened in the huddle afterwards. Looked like he was smiling really big and everyone was giving props and/or a hard time.

    the videos don't do you justice. Watching you do what you do in person is a treat. Too bad you don't get many chances in game though but when you're on from outside it's just as fun too.

    I think the last time I played ball was with you guys. YMCA offered 50 off on league and the thought had crossed my mind to get ya'll going again though. 100 off maybe ;)

    He was saying to Luther " you got your hops back man...you got your hops back"

    Mcgrady was looking at him like "who the **** are you....you aint the luther head I know....boy you are posessed"
