Typed entirely too many words just to prove my original point in that it wasn't a dunk.

But the people not all over the ground for it are the Playa Hatas. This is why I love OS. I really do.

[ex carrabba fan]

What are other notable throw-ins?

I watched this one live

[The 24th Letter]

Well whatever you want to call it, I thought it was an awesome play personally..

You can't take reactions too seriously King, you've been on the interwebz long enought to know everything is "meh" lol

[King_B_Mack]

Not saying you have to be all over the ground for it, but all this 'meh' and 'ehh' nothing of note type of talk about it simply becasue it was called a dunk is a little ridiculous.

EDIT: You're right 24th. I forget that sometimes lol

To placate the people who may think it wasn't a dunk I'll just say it was an amazing play. Mind blowing play actually.

I'll say that I've seen far more dunks from Shawn Kemp over the years that blew me away just as much, if not more than Blake's.

But last nights effort from Blake was nothing short of amazing.

I mean come on, it's not like having the back of your neck grabbed as someone "throws" the ball in the rim is any better. Call it what you want, I call that a poster.

Ask Kendrick Perkins and the Thunder if it was a dunk or not. I bet he knows he'll be on kids' computer backgrounds by the end of the night.

I didn't expect it to be that short.

Only a matter of time before that gif was brought up.

And I said it was a great ****in play plenty of times.

But yet I'm hating though because I'm not calling it a dunk or because I can see the difference between that and this:



Ya'll are funny. Everything is 'meh' and 'hate' on the internets. Never any truth lol
