Over the years, I wonder how many posterizations have been set up by pick-and-rolls involving Steve Nash? Probably the majority of Amare Stoudemire’s, and he’s had his fair share. Hakim Warrick was the beneficiary tonight; he pounded one down over Yi…
The first thing you’ll probably notice about this play is how half-assed Yi’s attempt at contesting the dunk was. If you’re going to jump you may as well make sure you create contact with something, either his arm or the ball. Next, you probably noticed the bench reaction… yup, they went ham. Did you notice, though, the reaction of Channing Frye? He’s down there chillin in the left-hand corner posted up along the three point line, barely on the screen. I had to watch the video four times and be told to look before I noticed it. If you missed his reaction, do yourself a favor and watch the video again. That’s the best on-court celebration I’ve seen since the infamous JR Smith chicken dance (which will never be topped EVER).
Dunk rating on the Starbury Nastiness Scale:
8/10 Starbury Nasty Faces.
Throwback Poster of the Day: Channing Frye’s reaction made me think of this one…
Excellent towel waving by K-Mart. I was actually watching that game… good times.
