For Ron hit a three, finish a lay-up, and dunk the ball in the same game was miracle. It damn near guaranteed a win. I would then go play Powerball, because my odds of winning were the same. If Ron did all those things in one night, surely I could win $270 million. Unfortunately, I never won the money. But Ron did just enough at the right time to help the Lakers win their 16th O'Brien Trophy. This is his lift while in Houston http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvlK-...eature=related This is his lift in LA now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNID04T4rGE&NR=1 Please EA tell me you aren't still using those overated vertical ratings for the 5th straight year? I know Artest is only one guy but that 1st impression just reminds me of the things guys shouldn't be doing in the game.....which has been something that irks me since the series has gone to Next Gen. EA needs a system like they have in Madden when a guy gets older his attributes change for his physical ability. Artest looked like he was back in his 1st or 2nd year in the league on that dunk.

This was just a couple of months ago when he did this one.
THis was a two step dunk

Im not saying hes a high flyer or anything but according to the video he had wide open lane with momentum. Artest didnt play as he usually does last year but some of that is do to the role he was playing.
