Sickest dunk of the year
January 11, 2008The other day the UNC Tarheels played the UNC-Asheville something-or-others in Chapel Hill.
Tyler Hansbrough is a white dude I love to watch play basketball. Sheer effort is his game mixed with a little talent.
I remember him going for 50 against George Tech when he was a freshman a few years ago. What a game that was.
Anyways Hansbrough had to square off with one of the biggest men on the planet in Asheville's Kenny George.
George is 7'7''. Hansbrough might be 6'10''. Watching the two play was like watching a six footer and seven footer. the disparity of their size was crazy.
The sickest dunk occurred when Hansbrough got the ball at the top of the key drove and skyrocketed over George, who has to barely get on his tippy toes to dunk.
I'd never had believed it until I saw it on ESPN. George leads the country in blocks for NCAA basketball. But the dunk is something that will always be engraved in my memory.
The Tarheels ended up winning the game. George almost seems to be a Barnun and Bailey escapee.
