Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Vote for your favorite dunk of the season (so far)!

Yesterday's game at the home away from home featured some pretty fantastic dunks. Which got me thinking... the 2011 - 2012 squad doesn't feature any prolific, Hakeem Warrick-esque dunker... a go-to dunker, if I may. Nonetheless, there have been some good ones... so take a vote!

With apologies to Scoop, Triche and Keita, I tried to get everyone involved. Invariably this means I probably forgot some good ones - so feel free to post them in the comments section!

It's tough between CJ and MCW

But I went with last night’s dunk – it was just so beautiful

Melo 360

Yes it was in garbage time but it was a message sent to other teams, keep pressing when the game is well in hand and this is what you get. Plus the fact that no one saw that coming, the only time I would have put Melo and 360 in the same sentence before that would be talking NCAA 10 on the 360.

My vote as well

you have to give the big guy props for the 360.

MCW got screwed over by top plays...

he doesn’t make the top 10, but some uncoordinated white guy from Wisconsin makes a turn around layup and its top 5…

You keep chanting one more year, I thought college was four years

between 3 in my opinion

The CJ dunk, MCW last night, and Rakeem’s KG-esque one hander.

Went with CJ. that was a monster

MCW and CJ's are both great

Because they both seem like calm kids, and then boom, posterized.

Not sure why the second part of my post didn't show

I’m not sure if adselver’s post should be rec’d or flaged. Both seem correct.

Where's the senior love?

K-Jo flying into the lane and launching an epic jam did it for me. He’s also had some tremendous one-handed ally-oops and put back jams. Usually when we still need an emotional lift in a tight game too.

by OrangeUglad on Feb 5, 2012 10:06 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah

Last night’s put back of Scoop’s layup was pretty nice. This is a hard one to vote on.

"With apologies to Scoop, Triche and Keita"

I don’t think Scoop is offended. By his own admission, he can’t dunk anyway.

Haha I think Triche has wised up a bit too

He’s a good dunker in practice/Midnight Madness but during the non-con schedule he had to be averaging something like 1.7 missed dunks / game. (Alarming stats to pair with Keita’s 2.2 goaltending calls / game and dangerously low Catch Percentage of 61.3%.)

It's the most bullshit thing I've seen in thirty years.
