Tyler Lydon missed dunk shot.

[Deano]

Jonny Flynn was always the king of the almost dunk to me

 

[690West]

MCW will forever be the king of almost dunks.

Mcw, silent G and triche are the Mount Rushmore of missed dunks

 

[GoSU96]

Rutgers program hasn't recovered yet from that.

 

[ForeverOrange]

Yeah, I don't think we are playing the same game.

Actually the year before Carmelo came, in the NIT Hakim made a move and went airborne, he missed it, but it was at that moment I thought to myself...did he think he could make that dunk from there? The rest is history.

Calling charges on dunks is the dumbest call in any sport by far.

Just think about it.

I'm not sure Triche ever completed one. He'd come up feet short. Pretty sure one in the dome wound up at midcourt

What about calling charges in guys that leave from the free throw line and are literally just heaving the ball?

 

[reedny]

A classic that will never get old.

 

[Dave85]

Sir Hakim Warrick will have something to say about that

Hakim dunks were like a giant helicopter landing hard.

 

[Dave85]

A classic that will never get old.

I was at that game and saw it live.

 

[Dave85]

Yup, best part. I love his demeanor on the court. Tough, tough, toughnik and fiery!

I thought Flynn was a little too much of a hot dog. It is a team game but he was tough.

 

[EnnisEnvy]

Paul Harris WISHES he could almost dunk like that!

Not really. If player has position he should not be bulled over. That said, what I can't stand more than anything else in a world is a basketball referee making charge or block call with emotional exuberance. I'm sorry but the referee is NOT part of the emotion of the game. If a referee moves more than one foot to make a charge or block call I think the guy is a total a hole.

I could not find a CBB video of ref, but check out this call:


Just way too animated.

Dave, check out the video I posted in the "Evolution of the game" thread from 1970 if you want to see "exuberant" referees. You'll get a big kick out of it.

That had to be a treat ... to hear the crowd in that converted cow barn after Flynn's dunk. Looking back, it symbolized the disintegration of R-BB. Johnny might as well have tea-bagged the Rutgers coach, the AD and the chancellor.

 

[bozophobe]

Craig Forth is the all-time missed dunk king. Because he never tried, nyuk nyuk.

 

[ThePoint]

It was pretty amazing seeing Lydon in full FU mode. That Foote guy must have really said something out of bounds because I've never seen Lydon that pissed in a game, ever.

Hopefully the switch went on and it never goes off.

I think I heard Foote say to TL "you cant guard me".

Watching the game, I said, "no, you can't guard him".
