Found this on YouTube today. A really cool video that breaks down Kwintin's dunks from the perspective of a guy who is a dunk expert. The guy called him a top 10 dunker in the world and said a couple of the dunks that Kwintin has pulled off have never been done before on video. Some really good backstory and information on the sheer difficulty and impressiveness of Kwintin's dunks. Check it out:
As you can imagine, I have been uncharacteristically discipline in not commenting on various posts about Kwintin dunks. First, let me get this out of the way, he is an athletic freak, who is a spectacular dunker.
Now that I have appeased the various casual fans (who consider themselves experts because they watched 3 hours of dunking videos), let me talk Kwintin and basketball:
1) I would be much more excited if I saw Kwintin working on his foul shots - trying to improve that 53% result!
2) Let's see Kwintin work on his 0.33 assist to turnover ratio. Just because your result is 3 times better than Brimah's ratio - that doesn't mean it's anywhere close to being respectable!
3) I do like Kwintin and just liked casual fans - I am excited about him playing at UConn. I am very concerned that with all his jumping (and at a 44 inch vertical) he is going to get a lot of impact on his knees and back. Quite frankly, he must work on his game not casual fan videos or else his career will be very short.
4) I do like how he works in the weight room and it's reflected in his body - so I expect some decent rebound numbers from him, if he works at getting position rather than just jumping over dudes.
So the night we would normally be celebrating First Night with thousands of casual fans - who I welcome with open arms - Kwintin, use it as an opportunity to work on your basketball skills instead!
