Mo Acker getting teabagged by Chris Wright is now a lead 'story' over on the Big Lead via the link below.

I guess I am still in the minority for thinking this was not an impressive dunk.

Although Mo could take some lessons from another guys his size...

O come on.  It's impressive in its effortlessness.  Granted Mo is short, but he leaped him like a hurdler.

True, I guess from the videos I have seen it is hard to tell that he went straight over Mo.  Oh well.

It was very impressive in person.

That dunk was a giant exclamation point that the game was over.

Seems to me that Acker simply turned and Wright went by him.  Remember that play when I watched the game on replay and did not really get the impression at that time that the guy went over him.

Yeah, I agree.  From what I can tell, Wright's feet are both on the same side of Mo.  That said, it was a thunderous dunk, but I don't think he "Vince Cartered" Acker.

he's only to the side of Mo because Mo flinched at the end.  Mo went down to take the charge, and then got the f out of the way before he got hit.  i was sitting on the end line on that side of the floor.  Wright would have cleared him with ease.

i couldnt believe that dunk when I saw it live, courtside at half-court.  When he took off I was thinking "who does this guy think he is? he is way too far away." next thing you know he slammed it down and I was laughing my ass off and ridiculously impressed.  It did look like he cleared Mo from my angle, but the video shows otherwise.  I was thinking it was bigger than washington over paulus a couple years ago, because paulus was at least pussin' out and taking a charge, whereas acker never left his feet. i guess its not as big as i thought now that you see he was too the side, but like dwaderoy said, he easily could have cleared him.

Chalk me up as someone who didn't think it was that amazing.  He brazed Mo.  Never thought much of dunks anyhow. 

I'll take a sweet Novak 3 falling away any day of the week.

Agreed.  It was incredible in person but he did go off to the side over a 5'-?" guy.  Vince Carter went right over a guy 7'-0" making his much more impressive.

Any semi-athletic guy taking a chance can dunk on a most likely 5'7 Mo Acker
