AO!

[jordville]

Arinze Onuaku has been doing work in summer league.. averaging about 15 and 10. Happy Birthday big fella...

Happy birthday AO!

 

[JDubbin]

This is what I think about when I see "AO"... can't help it, I grew up watching And1 (and still own all of the Tapes/DVD's!)

 

[HOFCeluck]

I was there for his coast to coast bucket vs Seton Hall in the Dome 2009. Kills me every time.

 

[LPOrange]

I remember the coast to coast dunk but I couldn't remember the opponent. All I remember thinking at the time was I thought someone would try to step in and take a charge and die in the attempt.

PS - there was also a coast-to-coast dunk by Kristof Ongeneat maybe that same season

Happy Bday Big fellow.

That was just awesome! I remember watching that live and thinking "No, no, give it up AO- holy crap , he just went full court!"

 

[OrangeFoo]

First 10 seconds

Dynasty!

That's actually one of my all time favorite Cuse dunks... I was just looking for it the other day. The other one I love and I can never find is the Hakim Warrick one on ND where he basically does a spin dunk from right below the ft line without jumping. I think Bilas called it as "go go gadget arms"

 

[RF2044]

Big fan of Arinze's. Still disappointed he got hurt heading into the postseason in 2010. Dammit.

Pours yet another one out for AO's leg, and the likely NC that never was... sigh.

AO could use a break.

Poor choice of words.

 

[JoeySimz]

First 10 seconds

Yes! I posted that one before in one of the favorite plays thread. It was a scrappy game and that play came at the perfect time. I loved that team.

 

[JoeySimz]

Carmelo Anthony Big Flush &1 @ Georgetown 2003

Here's another good one. Similar play. I couldn't find the whole game but I have it saved somewhere. It was such an entertaining game. It's even better if you watch from a few plays before.

 

[JoeySimz]

Oh yeh, Happy Birthday Arinze!

 

[Zelda Zonk]

AO was a dude who commanded the space he occupied. Wasn't messin around with silly dribbling and whatnot. A great player for us.

Happy Birthday.

wow, that is one fun video.

The only major one it's missing is the insane 180 reverse dunk he did on a breakaway against Seton Hall at the dome. IIRC it was garbage time, SU up about 20 with about 2 minutes left.

Basically going in full speed, about 3-4 feet inside the free throw line, takes off facing the basket, does a 180 in midair, and then reverses it. One of the best in-game dunks I've ever seen. I have a copy of it somewhere on one of my old computers.

Don't think I've seen THAT one...

And then you woke up and it was your birthday and everyone came to see you and they all brought chocolate cupcakes and gummi bears and it was a marvelous day.

[I don't remember AO going 'helicopter' either.]

 

[orangefan13]

my favorite warrick dunk not at the time (of course texas but) hellicopter becomes bulldozer

I still can't believe we lost that game.
