Last week I voiced my displeasure with the (over) reaction from fans, media and players to big guys (DeAndre Jordan, LeBron James) dunking over guards (Brandon Knight, Jason Terry).
If you are 6-10 inches taller and 50-80 pounds heavier than a man, you should be able to dunk on, over and through him.
Avery Bradley threw a hefty counter punch for all the guards when he drove the lane and crammed a dunk in the face of the 6-10 Ed Davis on Saturday night.
According to the ESPN scouting report, Davis is a “long, slim lefty who can leap. Excellent finisher, shot-blocker and rebounder.” Ouch.
I grabbed some popcorn and hit the web. Surely, I would find a plethora of memes, photoshops and poorly spliced videos announcing the death of Ed Davis.
Wrong.
There’s nothing out there.
No buzz.
No hype.
But why?
Maybe it’s the apathetic call by the Grizzlies’ play-by-play guy.
Or could it be that Celtics fans are more cerebral than most and don’t get worked into a lather for two points, no matter how impressive?
One thing is for sure (courtesy commenter on YouTube page):
if it was lebron they would consider dunk of the century.
