That was the jokeAnd they beat the team that beat Duke (which all you guys were mysteriously silent about), so as usual the who beat who by how many stuff means nothing.

and firedUCLA might have a coaching change soon...
Steve Alford was asked about fan unrest after the game and said:
“I’m a man of God, so I’ve got an audience of one.”
It seems as if there is a battle between the UCLA administration, who want Earl Watson, and two influential boosters.......who want Rick Pitino.
Chambers with a one-game suspension. The pussification of sports continues."shoved"? He hit him in the chest to pump him up like "come on you're the star lets go!". As evidenced by the player next to him's reaction.
This is way less interesting than the dude who slammed his head on the backboard going for the block
That's ludicrous. If you watch the linked video, its' more like a 540 than a 360. I don't know if he's going to be better than Barrett in the pros, but I think any team that has the #1 pick would be insane to not take Zion. He's going to sell out stadiums the minute he's drafted by someone.ohmigosh zion's 360 dunk rn

different angle, don't know how to embed this:

Really..I've watched it 15 times...the hangtime is impressive as fuck...but I'm not sure if he even did a 360?That's ludicrous. If you watch the linked video, its' more like a 540 than a 360.

He does almost a 180 turn after he dunks on his way back down. And that's after he mugs for the crowd behind the rim for a split second after he throws it through, instead of continuing to spin. He definitely cheats on the takeoff and left the ground facing to the right, so he loses some points for that, but that dunk is ludicrous. The fact that his forehead is even with the rim when he flushes it, whereas most guys who do a 360 lose some height in the process, is the icing on the cake. He doesn't get to 540, but he definitely does a full 360 if you look at his feet at takeoff and landing.Really..I've watched it 15 times...the hangtime is impressive as fuck...but I'm not sure if he even did a 360?
Dude, I agree. It's an insane dunk and shows other worldly athleticism. But it was absolutely no where near a 540 dunk as you suggested.He does almost a 180 turn after he dunks on his way back down.

I really hope he gets into the NCAA slam dunk contest this year. That could be epic.
It was a commentary of your ridiculous critique of every call ....every thread. Every post. Every sport. You are very often wrong. Very wrong.Who said he was fouled? There was nobody around him?
You want marketing? I'll give you a marketing scenario......Zion is declared ineligible by the NCAA for accepting illegal payment, signs with an agent, signs agreement with NBA to participate in their All-Star Weekend Dunk Contest. Ratings Fvcking Bonanza!!!!I really hope he gets into the NCAA slam dunk contest this year. That could be epic.
How can you hate on the Death? Red Sox fan, Curse-breaking screen name, lover of Armenian delicacies, and can squeeze in your home closing on short notice. That's the full package right there.It was a commentary of your ridiculous critique of every call ....every thread. Every post. Every sport. You are very often wrong. Very wrong.
This post could have been written at any point starting in 2005 or whenever Hamilton became their HCFlorida State has a lot of athletic, high-energy defenders but they play some ugly offense.
He and an orange went for a steal and his arm got twisted behind the body of the orange. It was bad based on his reaction - he was crying on the court. If it’s a labrum he’s done for year, and is the MVP. Hopefully just a sprainAnyone still watching? Syracuse/Duke on their way to overtime. Incredible game to this point.
I missed the injury to Trae Jones earlier. Anyone know what happened? Reddish is out with an illness, I believe, so Duke is playing a bit shorthanded.
In the House!This Syracuse team...Can’t figure them out.
Thanks, I had to watch the overtime on DVR, so just caught up. I'm not sure if I'd call Jones their MVP, but the one team, the absolute one team that you can't lose your all-word point guard against, is Syracuse and that zone defense. If you don't have someone that can crack that zone and penetrate, your screwed. Your left with passing it around the 3 point line and hoping to get a clean look from deep, and then hoping you have a good night shooting. And well, Duke went 9-43 shooting from 3 tonight. It's amazing they made it overtime, and scored almost 91 points, but if Jones doesn't get hurt, they probably blow Syracuse out.He and an orange went for a steal and his arm got twisted behind the body of the orange.

1 didn’t play tonight he was sickWithout Tre Jones, I'm just not sure how Duke survives without him. I mean, having the top 3 draft picks on one team just isn't enough talent.
Yep, and considering he's the best shooter on the team, and they lost their point guard, it was literally a perfect storm. Syracuse playing that 3-2 zone just forces you to penetrate through it, or hit open 3's. They lost their best penetrator, and also didn't have their best shooter. And they still almost won. If Zion was out instead of Reddish, they win. If Barrett was out instead of Jones, they win. Basically, the only way they lose is if they don't have Jones and Reddish.1 didn’t play tonight he was sick
