February 17, 2009 - Jerel to Dominic James to Wes Against Seton Hall.
http://www.viddler.com/player/a39a417c/
Wow TT you are the man.
I came on here right now to politely ask you if it was possible that a montage of James highlights could be made. To my suprise you already had been working on one.
Thanks!
I had a hard time choosing just one - but for me it's that Valpo game where he just took over.
Just one request, if you don't have it thats fine
The two free throws at the end of the game to beat Pitt in I think his sophomore year
I added the Wes to Dom to Jerel play from the Seton Hall game on February 17, 2009 by request.
I have the video of Dom's free throws against Pitt but I have it in a format not compatible with my video software. I'll see what I can do though.
Two questions...
1. Now that you added the Seton Hall video that I requested (thank you!) how can I change my vote in the poll? Is that possible or not?
2. Do you have video for every MU game? It seems like you do. Just how extensive is your collection?
Thanks

I can't change votes without resetting everything to zero but I will have my friend who never goes on vote for it for you.
I just have games I remember to record on my computer. Most games I have are from the last two years. Sometimes I still forget to record the game though. I forgot to record the Connecticut game.
Thanks!
Also I just added Dom's entrance video from his freshman year with freshman year highlights to the top of the page.
Love the Jerel to Dom to Wes video. Thanks, TT.
One of my favorite DJ hightlight is against Villanova two season ago when Nardi has the ball and intentionally throws the ball with all his might at DJ's feet. Nardi is stunned when the ball bounces off of DJ and DJ is still able to get it and drives the floor for two. I think Nardi ends up fouling DJ on the basket.
Wow! All incredible highlights. The three additional non-highlight memories I will always have of James are:
1) him racing down the court on defense trip after trip this year and opposing point guards just giving up on ever penetrating and just getting rid of the ball,
2) Tennessee trying to start their famous pressure defense this year in Nashville, trapping James on the side, and James just jumping over both defenders to easily pass the ball away. That literally was the end of their press for the night - they just realized they were never getting the ball from James on a trap
3) I don't know if this was capture on TV or not, but at the end of the Kentucky game in Anaheim last year, Joe Crawford fouled out with a couple of seconds left after scoring 30+. While everyone else was celebrating before the final free throws, Crawford went to the bench and started crying into his towel realizing his career was over. James was standing at half court, turned, saw Crawford crying and sprinted over to the bench and wrapped him up and started consoling him, ignoring the final free throws. I was bursting with pride at the Marquette good sportsmanship he exemplified, and I really loved seeing Thabeet give Dominic the big hug that appeared on the front of the Milwaukee Journal Sports section.
how bout a compilation of all the no look dimes he had earlier this year. The cincy game I think? Or was your computer down for the count during that one/no recording?
I'm pretty sure I have that game recorded. I forget which one it was though. He must have had 5 or 6 no look feeds.
I think that might have been the WVU game. I missed the Cinci game, and I was definitely at the "DJ no look pass clinic" game.
The valpo win hands down
i have the large file of this that i recorded if someone wants it...

This topic has such a great number of awesome video clips that I decided to search it out before our season gets underway just to pump up the juices a bit. Thought others might enjoy the replay as well.

Can you put together a series of clips of his cramping and dramatic game stoppages (at Pitt, for example) due to injury?
While Dom did have numerous bouts of cramping, didn't he get shoved into a table at Pitt?
Sometime I'll put together clips of Wes and Jerel as well.
This kid should be in the NBA. I have always said it. You can't teach that type of raw athleticism. You can work on shooting. Give him time and experience and he could be a solid NBA PG

What a fun time - thanks TT - that was just awesome - had to watch 'em all!
We need more of James' talent - this was fun :)

I love that kid!

Awesome post! He scared the begeezes out of me 4-6 times a year with times he was slow to get up. I realize he was working his butt off out there, but it started to get annoying. Regardless, what a phenominal guy to have on our team!
Awesome.
For the kind of player James became: Wes to Dom to Jerel wins hands down.
For sheer athleticism: the put back dunk vs. ND.
Valpo is the most memorable for me. That and the game at Pitt later that season when he would not let us lose.
Being in Valpo for that performance is No. 1 on my list. A great college basketball experience all around.
ND put back dunk #2
Dominic james has been by far my most favorite player since DWade. Amazing that each and every night on a court with some of the best athletes in the world he was allways still the best athlete.
The only negative i have from DJ's career was the venom he received from fans when Tommy Naismith miscast him as a shooter during his sophomore year. That and the fact that Wes, jerel, and DJ for 4 staright years were surrounded by without tquestion the worst front court in the BE each year. Give those 3 warriors even the front courts of Seton Hall ar Depaul and the last 4 years could have been something even more special.
Well for 3 of the years, Hayward was not that bad at the 4. They were only lacking at the 5, offensively. It wasn't that bad.

My favorite players since DWade:
1. Novak
2. Hayward
3. Diener
4. Matthews
5. TBD (Butler is in the running)
Great thread! That's a good way to get pumped up for the new season. The latest group of seniors is going to be sorely missed. In regards to the most memorable play by James......there are too many great ones to pick one best. While the Valpo game was not televised in my area, I listened to Homer and Mac call the game.......incredible performance by Dom! That's my winner.
Hey Big Chicken ( my daughter said this at 3 Years)..Totally awesome! :o
I, too, was at the Valpo game. It begins and ends there. that was just so many plays in a row. Single play outside of that is the block against Tennessee.

Hey PueroRicanDoucheBag, please keep your self-loathing posts strictly to Crean threads only. Thank you.
That Duke game in the CBE Classic his sophomore year was damn impressive. 25 and 7 on 9-15 shooting.
