When Johnny Dawkins was at Duke, he at times seemed like an unlikely star. He was seriously thin (and remains so to this day), nearly spindly. He had an odd center of gravity too, or at least looked that way from the cheap seats.
But he was wiry strong and unbelievably quick. One of his most famous plays at Duke was a backwards dunk over two Navy defenders in 1986. It was not something you’d necessarily expect to see from a thin 6-2 guard on a fast break.
But he could do stuff like that. Dawkins was a phenomenal athlete.
