An all exciting Uconn team

[Scoe]

Was just going to say... I think Bazz's multiple buzzer beaters and spurts of dropping 10+ points in a row to completely dominate a game qualifies as exciting. Not to mention his impossible finishes driving the lane as a 6 foot PG

Yeah winning is the ultimate excitement

 

[UCweCONN]

No Donyell Marshall???! UCONN of the mid-90s was showtime. Remember his 360 degree dunk? In my opinion, he was the most dominant, exciting player ever to wear a Husky uniform. Even his two missed free - throws in the NCAA tourney were exciting!....

KEA, Rip, and Freeman together had some nasty fast breaks in 98 and 99. Loved when Rip hit KFree with a lob and they bowed to each other afterwards. Maybe vs Nova?

 

[SubbaBub]

Can't believe Rashad isn't mentioned yet.

 

[J-dog]

I remember Caron making a steal at the mid-court line & then behind the back passing to someone for a fast-break dunk? Can't remember who was on the receiving end of that pass… Spectacular play...

Anyone remember?

 

[rip7774]

Tony Robertson +1

Ben Gordon near the top for me too

 

[wheelerdog]

Skinner Frederick and Norman Bailey

 

[Scoe]

Lamb

 

[patrick]

Wtf if jamal combs mcdaniels Isn't on this list then you all suck!

 

[gtcam]

Bazz and KEA are captains with Dyson an honorary

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Edmund Saunders would dunk like the rim owed him money.

Marcus Johnson was an exciting player. I was really disappointed when he transferred.

 

[NightDog]

Burrell jumped over Wake Forest player Rodney Rogers while making a steal… One of the most athletic plays ever seen a on a basketball court...

I still can see that play in my mind...unreal!

 

[DogBoy]

Doug Wrenn Was pretty spectacular during hs short stay

 

[BoatShow]

Someones gotta pass the ball. M.Will!!

 

[Huskybass]

Boat has a 42" vertical and doesn't get included?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Boat has a 42" vertical and doesn't get included?

Not a big east caliber athlete.

PG Napier - Flashy handle, random 30' jumpers, Heart is exciting too
SG - Gordon - Big-time dunking ability for a 6'2 guy, back-breaking 3's off the deck
SF - Rudy - C'mon Alley Oops FTW
PF - Donyell - I can't believe he's not on more lists. What is more exciting than 25 ppg!!??
C - Emeka - Mostly for his crazy blocks. NOTHING in 15 years was more exciting/awesome than his 1-on-1 block on Villanova at the buzzer!

Bench Handles - Kemba - See McGee, Gary
Bench Shooter - Rashad for his ability to go NUCLEAR hot and hit like 7 strait threes(sorry 'Bama)
Bench Dunker - Thabeet - I know I know he was creative at all. BUT when he put one down, the entire basket support would rattle. intimidating.
Defensive - BOAT - just because of the past month. Watching him lock up the Spartans, Kentucky, etc was special.

Emeka's block at the end of Arizona was right there with that.

Can't believe you left off TR (6'2 also). Could out dunk Gordon by a mile. Gordon had the better "back breaking three" capability, but TR could still drain them.

Napier was as exciting as it gets. much more exciting than kemba, napier could pull up from 30 ft swish buckets anytime.

I love Bazz to death, but Kemba is a magician with a basketball. Did you forget that school yard move he made to give himself an assist off the backboard? That was SICK! I also saw him bounce the ball off his defender's leg to get control of it when someone deflected it from behind. The McGhee ankle breaker is classic~! Sorry, doesn't get more exciting than that!

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Rashad's knuckleball 3's were pretty exciting too.

Kemba has that more of a freak athlete attribute but Bazz is much more fluid, smooth.
