Nene collects the board and goes coast-to-coast for the one-handed slam…
First of all, that’s an excellent display of ball handling from your center. Secondly, I love how he goes one-handed with it right from the gather. Thirdly, why the hell doesn’t he do this more often? Nene can throw down with the best of them (exhibit A, exhibit B, exhibit C), he just rarely does it. Yes, he is 12th in the league in dunks this season, but I still feel like he should be mashing a lot more. I’m often critical of Nene for going up soft around the basket because he loves to put up stupid flip shots and weak finger rolls. Just THROW IT DOWN, BIG MAN! Throwing down should never get old, no need to change it up with BS weak-sauce finishes.
Dunk rating on the Starbury Nastiness Scale:
8/10 Starbury Nasty Faces.
