funny stuff... hope this gives him enough to get chosen..i think he and westbrook have the best shot at puttin on a show... not too sure about Fernandez. Great all around player but not too impressed with his dunks.
really? i saw some pretty epic dunks. he does vince's elbow dunk with ease, and he does a free throw line dunk starting at like... half court. supposedly he can dunk from a foot behind the free throw line too. he has nice windmills too.
I for one, would like to see Joe Dunk. Rudy Fernandez? pfft. Russell Westbrook can't do anything that a 5 inches shorter Nate Robinson can.
looked up his bio.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Alexander_(basketball_player) he lived in china for 6 years . .so that explains why he can speak mandarin.. his dunks look meh on youtube tho...
His in game dunks looked pretty average for a guy of his size. He has the same vertical leap as Keith Van Horn did as a rookie and he didn't exactly wow people with his athleticism in the NBA. I don't know what it is about white dudes who measure high verticals but they rarely seem to translate into great dunks. Even Brent Barry's (almost) free throw dunk looked kind of weak and that is a hell of a distance to dunk from. Having said all that I want to see this kid get a chance. He sounds like he has some stuff planned and there is absolutely no way in hell he can be worse than Birdman or Nate Robinson. Plus, I would like to see Dwight Howard dethroned. He just seems too high on his own hype for my liking.
To my untrained ears, his Chinese sounded pretty good. Does he speak it? Edit: I see he speaks it. Mandarin that is ... my bad.
Joe is the truth! The man can dunk is all I am saying. I'd take him over Westbrook or Rudy in a dunk contest any day of the week. I really want to see Iggy do his thing again though, he got robbed in his first dunk contest.
He's understandable but sounds like any Chinese kid that grew up in the US with Chinese immigrant parents. Accent is not native but he's not too bad at all.
