I can’t believe I just typed that headline, but I think it might actually be true.
Here’s the deal. Desmond’s breadth of work in college far surpasses Markel’s — I don’t think there’s any disputing that. However, if we’re only looking at peak dunks — the best of the best — I … I think Markel might get him.
I was reminded of this over the weekend when this video surfaced on Twitter.
The Missouri dunks alone are a full career for somebody else, and there were plenty more beyond that. The thing that’s difficult to reconcile here is that Desmond looked cooler when he did it because he was more violent and more out of control (in a good way).
