OT: DC, only person to ever dunk on Shaq

[Frozen]

Rutgers hasn't been the same since.

They have been the same. They still suck.

Not really. They suck even worse. At that point, they were in the BE (the top conference at the time), albeit as a lower-tier spoiler. Now they're REALLY struggling at the MM level.

Johnny's dunk was historic, not just b/c he was 6', but the way he did it in that game, at an inflection point of two programs. Rutgers hasn't been the same since.

They haven't been the same since they built the university.

Shaq always has a poor memory when he makes these type of statements. He has been dunked on plenty of times, by Mourning, Ruben Patterson, David Robinson etc

Rutgers never was anything

I responded to this above. Either way, I don't care since I'm not a Rutgers fan. The dunk is fun to see.

Rutgers never was anything

They had a nice run in the 70s and made a Final Four, led by Phil Sellers and some other good players. At that point they were a strong regional team in a top heavy college basketball world, much like SU.

I was at that game, and right after the dunk nycfan and I looked at each other like, "Did that really happen????"

Then my arm fell off after our high fives

Many amazing parts to that clip (the dunk by our PG, the humiliation, the technical foul, etc..), including a no-call for the "charge" on Flynn the announcers were advocating. The defender slid 3-4 feet laterally just to get in front of him ... clearly a moving blocking foul (if a call was to be made). Have to give the officials credit for that one.

I was amazed that the coach went that nuts over THAT. Shows how much of a dork he is right there. Our guy got all the way to the rim, your help slid in late and fell down, and that's the call you're going to go nuts about not getting? Wow.

He was embarrassed that:

Two of his players got abused and one posterized.
Flynn flexed like a testosterone filled bodybuilder.
The orange dominated crowd in his building
was going nuts.
The Rutgers fans were either in shock or going nuts.
The play was going to generate a ton of Orange momentum.

I'd have gone nuts too.

I have always been of the opinion that if the offensive player makes contact after he has jumped and is able to dunk, it should never be a charge. I know that's a bit crazy and it would be a different standard for everyone, but too bad. Don't get dunked on.
