    Someone (HCP?) needs to dig up the Kersey dunk over Eaton in the playoffs - he literally went horizontal (to beat Eaton to the basket). I haven't seen anything like it before or since.

    I'm going with the Drexler dunk from earlier in this thread.

    That was Bonzi, not Battier. Battier was still in Memphis at that time.

    That was. Martell has some pretty cool ones. I think his tends to be the same all the time.

    Kind of like Jerome Kersey's. He prob had some of the nastiest dunks of all time, but they were all the same. The thing with his, they always came with an exclamation mark. He used to try to destroy the opponent on the other end with them.

    Outlaw doesn't have Clydes coordination or speed. And as much people liked to talk about Clydes work ethic. He is no where close to being in Clyde's shape.

    True, but Outlaw also doesn't have the mentality Drexler did (as ONE example of this, Outlaw shuns contact, but Drexler created contact). Of course, Clyde wasn't nearly the shooter Outlaw is, which may be part of the problem as well.

    Coordination's all in the brain. I don't want Outlaw's brain anywhere near this equation. :devilwink: Give Clyde a year in Outlaw's body to work out, and we'll talk.

    :cheers:

    Chuck Daly started that style with Mahorn/Laimbeer/Rodman. They still scored points, because they pushed the ball, but the bumped on the defensive end, and Mahorn and Laimbeer were basically dirty players. Riley took it to another level, but the Pistons started the change, and their success led to copycats like Riley.

    It is interesting the mystique that builds around certain players. I heard Clyde HATED practice and was late all the time. Yet Sheed brought it every day no matter what. Don't get me wrong. I grew up loving Clyde, but the man did not walk on water.

    Fans put way too much weight on a player's personality. Of course, that's understandable since there is little else to go on. We don't get to see the practices or hang out in the locker room, and public statements by coaches and athletes are almost always of the "both teams played hard" variety. So they manner in which the player utters "both teams played hard" ends up being a key factor in our opinion of them.

    Obviously. You can see the defender move his arm.
