UConn in the NBA March 2024

Incidentally, how many more 30 point losses will it take for Doc to actually give Jackson some PT? Or is he going to go down with the ship?

In a league filled with elite athleticism, Andre is surely on the top of list. Just unreal.

Insane is the appropriate description. I mean his entire head was above the rim. I saw Oubre dunk as I was watching the Knicks game. Not sure how that one was better. This one is right up there with the all time dunks David Thompsonesque with a little Carter and Wilkins thrown in. It was at that level.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Reminds me of Chambers on Mark Jackson...

View attachment 97604

Except Chambers was 6’10” so Andre was at least four more inches off the ground.

Insane. Years ago i saw a David Thompson NC State game where he took a bad fall and got hurt. He literally had his toe catch a guy’s shoulder in mid-air. I thought that was crazy I think AJax was even higher.

The fact that it was ONLY #7 is an embarrassment. I know I'm partial because I'm a diehard Husky supporter but taking partisianship out of the equation, that is a mindblowingly insane display of athleticism.

The NBA's official top plays of the day had it at #2, and to tell you the truth, #1 wasn't anywhere near as impressive as Ajax's.

I remember thinking when I heard that his vertical was measured at 39.5", "That's It?" but that is just measured from a stand still. I've been watching basketball for 50+ years and I don't know if I have ever seen anyone get up as high as him without a trampoline.

David Thompson may disagree

 

[dvegas]

I'd like to see the 6 plays that were better.

It's probably only #7 because in the other sports/highlights, defense gets played . . .

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Would love to see Andre in the dunk contest next year.

 

[AllHusky]

David Thompson may disagree

When Thompson was an undergrad, got a challenge from a guy on the track team. Thompson, who had never done track, came out and broke the NC State triple jump record! Insane athleticism and hops.

Great March mojo

 

[Conquistador]

See it again and take a look at the players on the opposing bench - even they cringed! Mad respect!!

 

[HuskyFich]

Would love to see Andre in the dunk contest next year.

I’d they’ll bring Mac Mcclung back to the nba to compete, a few more of these and Dre should be a lock in, lol.

 

[David54]

Never saw anyone on a bb court come so close to decapitating himself.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

#2 on the nba's own daily top-10 video:

Number 1 was lame for sure.

 

[AtlantaHusky]

Crazy. Kind of reminded me of this classic. Agree on the Mojo. Send it in AJax!

 

[AdamaNation]

In the ilk of dudefellow

 

[Fishy]

Absurd and may be Dunk of the Year

May be?

I’m never going to be impressed by a dunk again. His nipples were over the rim.

 

[Scottzer]

I recall being perplexed by his nba combine vertical only being listed around 39”. Here he’s 4’ or so/.

Huerter is from Clifton Park…maybe 20 miles from Amsterdam.

 

[Castlevania]

I recall being perplexed by his nba combine vertical only being listed around 39”. Here he’s 4’ or so/.

A standing vertical jump is a lot different than a running start from the 3 point line blast off.

 

[DogMania]

That was insane! If someone could teach him to high jump, he'd have a shot to make the Olympic Gsmes.

 

[Scottzer]

A standing vertical jump is a lot different than a running start from the 3 point line blast off.

These numbers don’t make sense to me, unless Andre skipped the max vertical and only his standiing very was reported. According to this 2023 nba combine report, Andre was only fifth in max vert at 39.5” - 2023 NBA draft combine: The top measurements, including wingspans, from Day 1

 

[1999GoodSon]

He has to be pushing the limits of human physiology at this point right? I mean Holy God, not just the height but the torque, the balance, the speed and strength! What an athlete, period.
