Is it me or does it seem like Silent G...

[AirForceOrange]

...is on a quest to complete some type of one handed, flying dunk...it seems like he has tried a few times in the last few games and hasn't completed one yet...

I hope he keeps trying. The kid is a great athlete. I like when he is aggressive, and dunking on someone really ignites the crowd.

 

[bballbeadle]

I think he has completed some! But he has missed as many. He goes to the basket so aggressively that I am worried he will get hurt. Malachi also is aggressive to the basket and seems to just fling himself into the opposing players with abandon, assuming he will either make the bucket or draw a foul.

I am glad I am not either of those two's mother! I would have to watch the games with my eyes screwed shut.

Actually, I think he is! He was quoted saying that he is determined to get one of those crazy dunks to go down before he's done at Syracuse.

SU's career leader in VUDA (or Violent Unmakeable Dunk Attempts, if you're not into the whole brevity thing).

Sweet game for him, though. Am I correct in remembering that he'd have had a perfect shooting night but for a missed dunk on a poor lob pass from Richardson? Really impressive for someone who takes contested shots from a number of places on the floor.

I'll say this, he either makes them or gets fouled--so I'm fine if he keeps trying them.

You folks have all forgotten about B Triche so quickly?

I'll admit - Silent G may overtake him for the most spectacular missed dunks in a single season this year - but given that RoboTriche was a 4 year starter, with a gift for clanging it off the rim, I think the career record is still
safely his.

 

[Orange Barrel]

Love G, but he's 0 for 1000 on those. Give me the easy two points please. I've already seen enough of the Jonny Flynn impression.

there you stood on the edge of your feather ,

G dunked on the entire state of North Carolina when we played Wake Forest.

Last night's attempt would have been one of the best dunks in Dome history. He was actually too high, which is a reason he missed it.

He has hops and he got a little more height from the jumping defender. Keep doing it. No soft S*^T!

He was fouled on the lob so it didn't count as a missed FG. I think his one missed shot was a 3.

How quickly everyone has forgotten about Paul "dunk bricker" Harris.

Good catch, thanks. Excellent shooting night for a perimeter player.

the best missed dunk I ever saw from an SU player was Hakim trying to dunk over Okafor
