Back in 2002 as a Christmas present I took my 69 year old mother to see the Syracuse / Rutgers game at the RAC. I bought pretty good seats on Stubhub so we were first section 8 rows back. About the same height as the rim. We are all decked out in ORANGE.

Rutgers had a pretty good team that year and the buzz was if they beat Syracuse they would make the NCAA tournament in like forever (I don't think they've come close since). So the game is pretty close. A few minutes into the second half Rutgers is making a run. They are down by 2 points. The tension in the building is palpable. A Syracuse foul puts a Rutgers player on the line to shoot the front end of a one-and-one. We are about even with the foul line and 20 yards away at eye level with the rim. The RAC is completely silent. No one is breathing. He bounces the ball once or twice. He looks up. He's about to shoot. And my mother yells at the top of her lungs, "MISS!!!!" Oh my God it was so loud her voice bounced off the roof the RAC and the place shook. The ball goes up into the air. It lands on the rim. Sits there for what seems like forever. And then it slowly rolls off to the left and a Syracuse player gets the rebound. We go on a 14 to 2 run and win the game. I thought we were dead and we would not make it out of the building!

Let's not talk about '03 and Lamazana (sp?).

Hak's standing dunk at ND is my favorite.

Great slam, but I remember one where hak is actually falling away and still slams, incredible, anyone have the expertise to compile a hak slam video? As rafferty says " The long arm of the Warrick" Hak also had quite a few top ten's in the nba, but I am not savvy enough to put this together.

Hak attack was amazing! TR is very close with his Duke dunk.

The one against Alabama (the game that should otherwise be forgotten) at about 3:10 was great in live action.

Also, I miss fast breaks in general, and successful fast breaks in particular.

Just to be clear, all I did was post the Hakim video here, someone else did all the hard work.
