http://www.nba.com/video/topten_archive.html just letting you guys know, baron and j-rich got the top 2 plays of the 07 playoffs according to nba.com if you would have told me that in october, i never would have believed you....
It was pretty, but it just goes to show you the most boring team in the nba ends up winning it all. I'll take boring championship winning Warriors, because it'll still be exciting to me since it'd be a Warriors championship win. LOL. The Baron Davis dunk will be remembered by warriors fans for decades. That was crazy insane. It was against an nba top defender who is at least half a foot taller with crazy wingspan. I never saw Jrich try to attempt that.

Baron and Jrich can do all these crazy power dunks because they play a lot stronger and are heavier than the other guys. They may list a guy at 230 or 240 lbs, but who knows how much they really weigh in at these days. But Baron and Jrich definitely look like thick players compared to the lean looking Marco. And Emeka Okafor is one physically strong, shotblocking dude. He's kind of like Ben Wallace sometimes.

I was forced to upload that clip because you said you never saw JRich try something like that. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Baron Davis dunk will be remembered by warriors fans for decades.

Especially when Mullin said a month ago he wasn't going to trade JRich, then now says JRich is one of his favorite players.

Doing it against Emeka Okafor in the regular season doesn't count. I've seen Jrich posterize numerous big men, but only in the regular season. So far, I've seen Sjax and Baron dunk over people, but Jrich hasn't attempted it. At least not to my memory.
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone will see Jason do that again. After his injury he rarely took it at anyone. For Jason's sake, I hope that I'm wrong, we'll find out this season.

JRich only had a few games in the postseason to try to dunk over people -- I don't get it -- do you mean he was only a "good dunker" during the regular season? Doing it over Okafor ANY time counts in my book.

Baron was injured too, but he's got the smoothness and explosiveness to elevate and catch guys off guard. Jrich has to be more of a gather leaper.

However, the thing is he was kind of coming around during the POs, IMO. He had a sensational two-hand alleyoop dunk late in a PO game against the Mavs (or Utah, I can't remember now), a 4th quarter gem that I think actually put the W's up by a point. But, in his prime, JRich could dunk on ANYBODY, playoffs, summer league, street ball, you name it.
On at least on dunk vs Dallas J Rich's elbow was rim high. Post surgery he did not take a month to just train,get his legs back to full strength. No doubt-he also did not want a re-injury. By the playoffs...he was at least 95% back---but other guys had grabbed some of his role. I figure Nellie was not all that keen on some moves anyhow. The Baron to Jason alley oop nearly vanished-and in general--Alley oops and back door moves were scarce in the late season.
