Am I impressed by an effortless reverse dunk on an alley-oop? Yes, if you put the gun to my head, I'll say I'm impressed. Here's an example of what impresses me from the OSU / Howard game last night:
You win Oregon State's Jared Cunnigham, I'm impressed. The president's brother in-law is also thoroughly impressed. I'm impressed enough to throw out the particularly unresearched statement, "Jared Cunningham is the best dunker in America. If you do not believe me yet I have two (maybe 3) additional videos."
(at this point you've fallen out of your chair, regain composure and watch this)
(one more for good measure, from a dunk contest)
All of the Michigan fans out there have to be saying, "yes, that gentleman can jump, but he's no Zack Novak." All of those Michigan fans are also correct:
Zack is more impressive not because his dunks are better but because that piece of dunking was so unexpected. This is like you coming home on April 15 of next year to a swan at your kitchen table compiling your 2011 tax return. The swan would notice you walk in, quack loudly and burst through your closed glass drywall. No one would have any clue what happened but I'll be damned if that swan didn't find a way to itemize the silent auction you won as a charitable donation. Good work Zack (and swan).
