Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4392019, member: 12088"] I’d go further out on that limb, merely because Ayanna is a two-handed, stand-still dunker. She doesn’t need a run up or a fast break, like pretty much all the other college women who dunk. All she needs is a point guard to drive and dish to her — no dribble, just pivot and muscle the ball up and through. I still remember a kid I used to play pickup games with in high school who could dunk. He was only about 5’10” and lanky, but couldn’t completely control the ball with one hand. He had to hold it in the crook of palm and wrist on the way up. I remember the first time he did it, it blew the rest of us away. We weren’t expecting anything like that from him, and it took a moment to recover our senses. Watching Belibi dunk reminds me of him. It’s surprising and gratifying. But it also feels precarious, like she might lose the ball on the way up. This is absolutely not the impression I get watching Ayanna dunk. [/QUOTE]
