    Was I think only one surprised by Farmar's huge dunk last night? I never knew he had it in him

    I really didn't think it was that nice. He's got a 42" vert.

    i couldn't believe he did that last night. totally took me by surprise. i had no idea he had ups likethat. he also wouldn't have cracked my top 10 if i were to stack his vertical against other rookies.

    friggin' awesome. i really like this kid.

    Bro, come on, are you being serious? You can say you weren't "surprised" since he has a 42" vert, but to say it wasn't "nice" is absolutely ridiculous. I rewinded that play 5 or 6 times, that was beautiful. I got maad respect for Farmar after that one.

    Anyone notice the look on Smush's face after the play? Lol, he seemed like he was a little jealous of Farmar. [​IMG]

    Now that you mention it, he was the only Laker player who was not excited over the dunk he looked annoyed by the other laker players jumping up and down. lol

    Yeah Farmar has an explosive vertical. There's a few clips of him in highschool on YouTube, where you can see some posterizations.

    The move I was more impressed with last night was late in the game, when he was on the break and did a change of pace dribble and caught Bibby completely flat footed. Reminded me of what Tim Hardaway used to do against defenders with his UTEP two-step move.

    How about Kobe Bryant breaking John Salmons ankles in the game and then draining the 16 footer? Salmons was shook so hard he actually fell on his stomach trying to figure out where Kobe went.

    Yeah, I'd like to see a clip of Farmer's move on Bibby and the Kobe move as well.

    Never thought Farmar had it in him to dunk that ball. What is Kobe's vertical jump?
