Based on a thread in the GARM, what white guys could really lift off? Here's 4 I remember... Tom Chambers Rex Chapman Bobby Jones Billy Paultz Anyone I'm missing?
Chris Andersen Er ... Billy Cunningham, maybe? His nickname was "The Kangaroo Kid", I believe. Can't think of any others not already mentioned.
Bobby Sura was in a dunk contest. Can't Jason Williams dunk? Not sure if he is a great leaper, though.
man... i remember seeing this video a while back (no... not that type of video) of tom chambers doing this fast break two-handed slam... and i know how ridiculous it sounds, but i seriously looked like half of his body was over the basket.
Keep in mind Tom Chambers was also 6'10" tall. So of course he's going to look insane going in for a dunk with any good vertical. Muchlike Larry Nance who was 6'10" could dunk two balls (one with each hand) on one dunk attempt. That Tom Chambers dunk and several others are on this "Top 10 dunks of all time" clip from Kenny, Charles, and company off TNT. I swear Patrick Ewing is in every one of them... if he wasn't getting dunked on he was watching somebody getting dunked on... lol. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/72503/top_ten_dunks/ The one where Shaq brings down the entire goal is hysterical. One of my favorites of all time.
Oh crap... Rex Chapman... I remember him coming out of college... he was like JJ Redick with athleticism!
I can't believe you forgot Flyin' Ryan Bowen! <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_56Uu822NuY"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_56Uu822NuY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
jordan, pippen, starks, yeah he was in a lot of them. i've seen it before and even though it's a sad moment, i love kenny's commentary on kj's dunk on hakeem. first mentions that he gets blown by and then thanks dream for helping to make a poster. and the "excuse me miss" line as jordan tiptoes the baseline to dunk on ewing is great also.
Isn't Chris Anderson the guy that embarrased himself at the dunk contest? What about this guy - Air Langhi was the great white hype of Clutchfans.net.
I remember seeing Chambers like literally jump over a 7 footer once and throw down on him on the other side of him. It was absolutely insane. Yeah he was 6-10 but really that dude had insane hops. I mean Amare is 6-10, Kemp is 6-10 and even at their absolute peak they could never ever do a dunk like this one I saw Chambers do. It was just freaking ridiculous, it may Stro's dunk on Yao last year look weak.
yep... that's it. lol... ooops... i guess his waist wasn't even with the rim. anyway, the dude still had some hops. thx for the link. three things... 1. some people exfoiliate (shed dead skin). kemp would have made amare shed tears. i forgot about that dunk in the clip. too bad taunting gets you a tech these days. man... i miss kemp. 2. i'd take a rox championship over a kj/hakeem dunk anyday. i forgot how good kj was. 3. wtf was up with r. davis' dunk being in the top ten? could have easily been replaced with the tmac/bradley dunk or kobes "ball around the back, 180 dunk" while he was being guarded (i think it was against the nuggs... not sure).
