This sort of brings me to something I've been thinking about. I'm not a fan of dunking in the woman's game because it isn't a high enough percentage play. In the men's game sure, in the woman's game not so much. Few player can dunk with authority and more importantly reliability.

There are exceptions to that general rule and I think ONO, maybe one. She look looked pretty good in that dunk contest. Good enough to use it in a game? I think so. Geno has been clear, he doesn't mind it, but you have to make it. So will Olivia's dunking be a part of her game at UConn?

Why do we all enjoy epic fails? Are we just glad we arn't that dumb?

Some of those dunk fails looked painful.

ONO looked so smooth with her first dunk at the McDonald's games, I was a little surprised we did not see an attempt in the all-star game.

I think some players wanted to see Liv flush one at the end of the game, as Jonquel did in the WNBA All-star game, but it didn't happen.

Not sure what you mean DaddyChoc. Not dumb cause they can't dunk, dumb because they don't think thru a silly stunt, like in Darwin awards dumb.
those weren't stunts they couldn't accomplish... they just failed once, I'm sure some would have completed the stunt if given a second chance

#1 is an all-timer. that clip doesn't quite capture the essence of it though:

In refutation of your argument, I give you intizncster's clip above. He could try that a thousand times and he wouldn't get it done on the second or the last. ;)

Plus, I could watch that about 50 times and laugh every single time. Classic. #1 reminds me of a few cat jump fails...!

Got to admit some of the stunts were doable. So, I'm still asking the question, why do we laugh at epic fails.? Pleased that we are not that dumb was only a hypothesis. Why do you laugh?

If you want to see female Dunkers just go to any Brethren affiliated College they are loaded with them.
