    I don't have a link, but he's twice said that Damian could barely dunk (in comparison to Russell).

    Am I hallucinating that Damian has an impressive vertical leap, but just doesn't utilize it because he has more overall skill than Russell?

    I think it has more to do with preserving his health. He dunked a lot in his first few years but he has scaled it way back as he has gotten older.

    That is very true. I also think Skip Bayless, for the most part, is a big idiot.

    On the one hand, I miss the dame that attacked the rim, but on the other hand I don’t want to see him go the way of Derrick Rose.

    When I think of Skip.... I think his takes “skip” logic and intelligence.

    Yawn, FAMS.

    Ralph Miller called dunking "A fool's errand" and believed it would increase the risk of injury. He wouldn't let his players do it.

    The biggest issue is that a lot of guys don’t know how to land properly. That’s why Rose fucked up his knees. He would land with all of his weight on one leg. Dame would do it too actually.

    Great clips! I was thinking #9 should be WAY higher. Then I realized it was on Duncan, and not Aldridge. Lol. #3 should be higher too. Just because.... Well... L*kers....

    Maybe we should hear what Skip actually said. His tweet is nothing but love for Dame:

    Moe missed a couple dunks on Tuesday that could have been huge, but he was trying so hard to create that crowd wowing moment that he lost sight of the bigger picture of simply putting the ball into the hoop.

    I dont understand who watches skip. Isnt his show on like 10-12 or something? What audience does that pull in?
    Credit to skip, and Stephen A., they make themselves a lot of money playing the troll. I just never understand who the people are following them.

    Damn, all of you guys are just posting SO MUCH good stuff. It's been WAY OVERDUE for us. Thanks much e_blazer, for this one! My take on this- Dame is that good. He grabbed the game, and brought it home. I will seriously cry, if he ever leaves us; and I'm not a whiney bitch.... He just means so much to me, and obviously, to the team and city of Portland. Well, after seeing all of the media attention lately, he is special to many other people across the country too....

    Call me @KingSpeed if you want. These guys could bring it home this year. The whole thing. They can get it. They know it. They even admit it. This COULD be the year. Finally. You never know....
