Title: Most amazing thing you have ever seen on the court
Post by: MU Chi_IL on July 23, 2009, 09:52:16 AM: The Lebron thread got me thinking about some of the best dunks/shots I have seen and I went looking on youtube for a few mins and figured since it is so dead around here we could get a thread of some of the best links.

This is in the top 10 for me:

Vince Carter Olympic Dunk

These are entertaining as well

Post by: DJO's Pump Fake on July 23, 2009, 10:18:39 AM: This one has always been one of my favorites.

Look for:
1) The step over Scottie does to Ewing.

2) Scottie going to tell Spike Lee off.

Classic

Post by: MUfan12 on July 23, 2009, 11:45:12 AM: In person, one of the most incredible plays I've seen was made by Wade his sophomore year. They were playing East Carolina at home. Wade drove left baseline, took off from at least 6 feet out, and dunked ferociously over Moussa Badiene. Badiene was the leading shot blocker in the conference.

I was sitting in the upper deck, across from the students end. I honestly thought there was no way he was going to make it, and when he threw it down my Dad and I just kinda looked at each other in shock. I think someone got a picture of that dunk, I'd love to see a video of it again.

And also Nate Robinson blocking Yao.

I was also there, front and center student section.

Easily the best thing I have seen live.

I think indeelaw90 just won.

This has always been my favorite Lebron dunk. What was Damon Jones thinking? He knew Lebron was getting the ball back, why was he even jumping with him in the first place? I'm not a fan of Lebron but his reaction is pretty good hah.

Post by: Tom Crean's Tanning Bed on July 23, 2009, 02:33:18 PM: Gotta go with this dunk by Jordan. Beats the baseline double-team and THEN throws it down over Patrick Ewing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxG6F8qKsoQ&feature=related

Actually, this play by Wade vs. Pittsburgh in the NCAAs was probably the craziest thing I've ever seen a basketball court.

Post by: GGGG on July 23, 2009, 04:05:44 PM: Scottie Pippen's IMO is better than Carter's. Anyone can dunk on an Australian stiff. Dunking on a player of Ewing's caliber...in the playoffs...and then pushing him down, stepping over him, and telling Spike Lee to sit his ass down...

As far as other amazing things, this last second shot was probably my favorite just because Horry came out of nowhere.

Title: Re: Most amazing thing you have ever seen on the court
Post by: Ahoya06 on July 23, 2009, 04:38:23 PM: Ousmane, as a basketball-raw freshman, not fully grasping the concept of the offensive foul, and barreling over an opposing player like Jerome Bettis fighting for the end zone, and almost taking out a second opponent who had the sense to dive out of the way.

marquette against pittsburgh in minneapolis. wade's cut through the defense, dip and flip, and 1. if you watch closely, he actually travels, landing on the ground before he releases the ball. oh well, still an incredible shot.
Title: Re: Most amazing thing you have ever seen on the court
Post by: GGGG on July 23, 2009, 05:09:38 PM: I've actually never seen Wade's play v. Pitt. I was out of the country that week, only getting back that Saturday AM.

I can't find the "and one" fast break dunk by Wade from Diener against Kentucky on youtube. I screamed my head off when he did that.
