RE: james white going pro

A well timed three can change the momentum just as much as a dunk.  Plus
give you an extra point.  Dunks are overrated just about everyone who plays
the game can do it, but how many can hit a mid range jumper, though not on
SportsCenter as often but just as efficient.

Thanks for the update, most of us hadn't noticed how impressed you are with
dunks.  ;-)

PS - and they still don't count for more than 2 points.

Dunking is very exciting.  A million people have said the same thing you
just did..does it count for more than 2 points??  Not at the exact moment
that it happens, no.  But a lot of times it can start a run, get the guys
jacked up so theyll play harder on defense, get the crowd into it, take the
crowd out of it on the road... and as far as 3-pters..thats all anyone ever
does is shoot 3's..im fed up with THAT.  Take it to the rack strong and try
to dunk it so maybe a foul gets called or you actually dunk it.  Unless
youre wide open for a 3, its a very lazy thing.  So many guys shoot 3's who
have no business shooting them and never would if there wasnt a line there.
Plus all those long brick rebounds start fast breaks.  I love dunks and
dunking and anything that has to do with dunking.

Is a 3-pointer not good anymore?  Is it still OK to have a nice pass leading
to a basket?  What is this hang up with dunks?  I dunked back in the 60's
(as a skinny white boy).  Has it changed so much that we have to worship
someone that has the ability to elevate to an un-godly level and throw it
down?  I am completely fed up with this line of communication.

Even though he's been here for 2.5 years now, I still can't believe WE have
James White.  I know he hasn't put up big numbers or taken us anywhere in
the tourney, but he is arguably one of the best athletes in the history of
college basketball.  And also, as I think I may have mentioned before, he
can dunk from the foul line between his legs!  Do you have any idea how many
NBA players and fans would sh*t their pants if they saw him do that in the
dunk contest?  And WE have him.  Amazing.  We also have Eric Hicks too which
is incredible- what 6'6" guy sets the all-time high school shotblock record
in a good basketball state like North Carolina?  And you know he's probably
really only 6'5".  I remember a few years back in the Deveroe's league in
warm-ups, he did a 360 and shined his shoes with the ball before he dunked
it!  Then in the game, he did a big 2-hander on like 3 guys (including
Whaley), and we couldn't believe the glass was unshattered it was so hard.

 

Yeah I know that post didn't accomplish anything but I just love those 2
guys, I can't believe we only have one more year of them.
