    Another factor in dunking is you have a good chance of injuring your fingers ,when you grab the rim, Luther doesn't need that, he is one of our ace shooters!

    steve francis is the same way. he can't hold onto the ball without cupping it against his wrist. but he manages to still throw it down.

    Steve is an athletic freak, I hope he comes back rejuvenated next year....

    Me, too! Man, I'd rather us go 8-12 instead of 20-0 if there were a few sick dunks in there!! These guys are so damn "team-oriented" :rolleyes: -- they play like a bunch of pu$$ies!

    In fact, during the off-season, we should unload non-dunkers like Luther, Scola and Chuck for Darius Miles and Stromile Swift -- two badass guys who really know how to throw it down! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    dunk is always important - the highest % shot.

    always need to remember how reggie miller basically lost the series vs Pistons by blowing a breakaway layup which was blocked by Prince chasing from behind. I'll bet u have seen that replay N times in TNT.
