So… I’m sitting at work on this quiet October afternoon, and I’ve got no responsibilities aside from being present. I decide to do the most constructive thing I am self disciplined enough to do: sift through Youtube videos in search of quality highlights to use in my next “best plays you’ve never seen before” post. By continuously clicking on related video links I end up watching a bunch of dunks and blocked shots by man-beast Jason Maxiell. Included in the videos I watched were this moster dunk against Joey Graham the Craptosaurs, this violent rejection of a Raef LaFrentz layup attempt, and a stone-cold denial of his former teammate Rasheed Wallace. Eventually, the trail of links leads me to a video entitled “Jason Maxiell UC Highlight Video.” I begin watching it and I realize that I’ve seen it before… many times, as a matter of fact. Anyway, here it is.
My brother–who is basically a 6’3 Jason Maxiell–and I used to watch this like three times a day at our job during the summer of… maybe 2008. I had completely forgotten about it until I re-discovered it just a few moment ago. I recall that we particularly enjoyed the dunk at the 1:35 mark. My brother just so happened to walk in a few minutes ago, and I reminded him of the dunk. Without even seeing it he immediately remembered. “Oh yeah, the guy blocks the first shot and gets all excited… then Jason Maxiell makes him eat sh!t.”
Pretty much.
In addition to the abusive, humiliating, two-handed posterization of the poor bastard from… whatever school that is wearing the orange unis, the short montage is jam-packed with monster swats and massive slams (and even a James White sighting!). Enjoy; multiple times.
Gotta love J Max, I remember seeing his rejection of a tyson chandler alley oop dunk, absolutely sick!
