    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Of course the one that I tried in 2004 and didn?t finish?the 360 between the legs. I?ve have tried it one other time in my life and completed it. I don?t think I could do it again though.</div> That must have been sick to have seen that dunk.

    I think his 2002 Rookie Allstar MVP award is more impressive and him holding the record for most points scored in the Rookie Allstar game. It might have been broken by Amare Stoudamire, but still Jrich is awesome. It's all about the fans with him and who cares if nobody plays any defense during allstar week.

    And of course everyone remembers the infamous play that got him in trouble

    Jrich you da man.

    I have that game. With using Jrich, I did the one where you start by kicking it off your back foot, do a cartwheel, grab the ball, under one leg, then tomahawk slam dunk. And there's one I did where you could bring the ball between one leg and then the other after bouncing it and I did that with Mike Dunleavy when I turned his dunk and jump rating to 99. He schooled Desmond Mason, T-mac, Jrich, Steve Francis and Gerald Wallace and all those guys with backflips, and the around the world, double pump, behind the back, reverse, tomhawk jams and all. He was flying through the air like them vampires from the movie From Dusk Till Dawn with George Clooney or that other movie, Blade, with Wesley Snipes. If Brent Barry was there, he'd be proud. I still can't find a way to make any player dunk from behind the 3 point arc though... Question is would that count as a 3 pointer? Probably not, since their hand never left the ball...

    It would have been nice, if Richardson completed that dunk and won 3 straight dunk contest. Jones' dunk was nice, but it wasn't anywhere near what Richardson pulled in first round. At least, according to fans, Richardson's dunks were voted top 1 and 2, so...

    Jrich would have brought the roof down if he did that off glass, between the legs, 360 like he was trying to do before the final dunk. That would have been the sickest dunk of all time. Even though time will pass and people will forget about Jrich's dunks because of the new generation of dunkers, his creativity will probably live on for a long time.

    I'm hoping this dunk contest, somebody like Amare Stoudamire or Chris Andersen will win. Too many guards win because obviously they are shorter players that have bigger hops. That's why they have to be creative like this guy's dunk http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/davidlee.asp back in high school allstar dunk contest. He does this high bounce, while the ball is still in the air, he cartwheels, takes his jersey off, catches the ball in midair for the two handed slam with power. What can I say never have seen that before until he did it. Very creative. Big men gotta do that otherwise everything's been done before.

    Even if it has been done before, it can still look DAMN cool.

    I don't know if you guys have heard of Henry Bekkering, but here is a video of the big white boy throwing it down:

    I'm real proud of how J-R has played this year. He has shown that he can be a star. He definetly is living up to his expacations, now it's time for other guys to start doing that.


    Also Biedrins needs to play, we don't want another Darko that will have his butt sculpted in shape into his chair. He needs to let his potential be seen! Play him Monty!

    Monty knows if the kid is ready or not. We all want to see him, but I'd rather he doesn't get used to be beaten on every play and works hard and earns his minutes.

    ^ I'm not so sure about that Cohan Hater, I think he is ready and I do trust our coach, but I'm not sure that he isn't ready. Maybe his free throws aren't but the rest I think is

    I dunno, Biedrens is a defensive minded player. Defensive minded players usually don't take getting beaten lightly, they take it personally like they weren't trying hard enough or they got fooled. The attitude can change of course, if the team mentality is to slack on defense, not value posessions as much (heaving shots when there's 18 seconds left on the 24 ticker), or put defensive players on guys they cannot guard very well like Fisher at the 2 and Richardson at the 3 ...or the team as a whole just doesn't play with the right efffort on the defensive end so the individual effort goes down. The spurs/pistons are a classic example of every single player having a defensive game pretty much or has improved their defense to the point where they know what play is coming, when to play off, and when to pressure or when to leave their man to help out. That's why we have to stop this small ball nonsense and learn how to slow it down execute and grind it out in the half court or get players that can.

    ^Yeah I agree with Custodian. Biedrins, DD and Foyle are the only good defenders on our team, and once Biedrins plays, we will have a low post threat too that will suprise teams that have never seen him which is every team in the west [​IMG] (under breath)

    Foyle and Biedrens have the effort, but I wonder about their basketball IQ and defensive awareness (ability to read plays and gauge the situation). If you've seen Biedrens in summer league or seen his stats, he's the kind of guy that will fill up rebounds, blocks, and steals and score if other people set him up, but if he's not aware of what plays the other team is running (due to experience or low bball IQ) and how his team is reacting to one another and the other team, he could be struggling. I don't know if I'd consider Foyle a good defensive player, but he provides the defensive effort without no question. He sometimes gets way out of position, carried away and doesn't know what's going on at times and I don't know if he does that because he doesn't trust his teammates with leaving the open man or he's just doesn't have a clue. Effort's good, but there is a strategy to playing and knowing what to expect so you can avoid suprises and picking up cheap fouls out of desperation. Ben Wallace is an example of this and he's extremely undersized for his position. In addition to being physically built for battle in the paint, he's really cerebral on the defensive end and has a good technique to play man to man, weak side help, or transition defense and this probably also one of the reason he's able to avoid fouls with how many blocks, rebounds, steals he gets.

    ^Yeah I think Biedrins lack of expierince is the reason that sometimes he's not aware of the other team running. But I have high hopes for Biedrins [​IMG]

    Me too, when various scouting reports have him projected as a Chris Bosh/Jermaine O'neil/Kenyon Martin type project I'm excited too. Those guys are really exciting players. The cool thing about him is he's young and he's got some good coaches invested in him and he's got a great attitude/work ethic on and off the court. He's fierce and combine that with soft hands, good rebounding, good shotblocking, and freakish athleticism for his size... well Warrior fans just want to see if the description is true. I know in summer league he was guarding small forwards and getting some decent stats for the youngest, under-weight kid on the floor. I bet Jrich will love him.

    Keep in mind he's not going to be a very good offensive player starting out unless the coaches teach him the right way to play in the post, but he can easily come out of nowhere and suprise people as he has a Dampier like drop step move and turn around jumper. His main game is being a defensive stopper at either power forward or center that is strong on the boards and can finish near the basket when the weakside is exposed (and that is pretty valuable to us because nobody fears Foyle or any other big men we have). Biedrens probably won't be a superstar unless he really really works at it. He's got youth and a lot of potential on his side in addition to the support of Chris Mullin. We'll see if he's a keeper or a bust in the next 3 to 5 years.

If he can stand in the open spots, catch the ball, and take it up strong, our perimeter players should be able to set him up pretty well. Just look at DD last game.

    On the other hand, I want to see this kid play, but if the coach says he isn't ready, then I don't really want him in there for significant minutes. Until the coaches and the team have enough faith in him to want him in the game, he isn't going to be very useful. Whether or not he COULD be useful if he were in another situation is another issue altogether.

    BTW here's a nice little Vinsanity in-game dunk during the last Olympics before the last Olympics.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting custodianrules2:</div><div class="quote_post">Do you know if he can score with either hand like Chris Kaman can?</div> That would be awesome, but I have no clue. The only guy who we could really ask is Hipokrat (sorry if I got your name wrong) who saw him play in Europe. Or I guess we could call in if some of the Warriors' players or coaches are on KNBR fielding questions. Other than that, we are just going to have to wait until the guys in charge think he's ready.

    That Vince dunk is sweet. I can't believe he actually did that in a game.
