saw this today, i don't know if it's been posted before. but i thought it was insane; the speed, the plant, the jump, etc.

I thought that guy looked an awful lot like Tobias Harris. (The first guy who dunks). I ate dinner with him and some guys the other night. Cool dude.

I'm 99.99% sure that is tobias. they both went to the same school, have similar frames/builds, and both wore 12.


edit: you ate with him recently? who else did you eat with? did you talk to him about being in the league? do you play ball?

Not trying to name names or anything. I know and play ball with quite a few of the former Vol players from Tennessee. Mostly ones from 2-3 years ago. But I was eating with some of them and he came and ate with us. Didn't really get to talk to him much as he was on the other end of the table. But him and Chris Lofton are in town still working out. Tobias is here still cause the NBA is locked out and Chris is about to leave because he just signed a huge deal with a team in Spain.

Both are great guys, phenomenal basketball players and just plain fun to be around. He doesn't play pick up with us any because he's usually doing training when we play but he said he'll try to come out some time. I doubt he will though as busy as he is. Cool guy though, hope he does well in the league.

Being an elite athlete, in my opinion, means doing something better than 99.9% of everyone else trying to do the same thing.

99.8% = not elite. Just my opinion though.

meaningless arbitrary number is meaningless and arbitrary. see my response for the correct answer.

Never said you were wrong. We both stated our opinions. Just so you know, you don't have to agree with mine; that's what opinions are all about. 

Hardly got dunked on, but still; way to go for that kid. I laughed at LeBron for sure.

Congratulations Amy Winehouse, 4 days sober.

Every now and then I come back to watch that gif. That is my all time favorite of all the gifs you've posted. Thank you.

I'd rather have a network that told me what courts people were playing at...I guess it could also give updates on weather conditions.

KD = my favorite NBA player.

That being said, I've always loved this YT clip:

brb sprinting bilaterally.

That's why for me - jumping off two has never been natural. When you walk/run you don't bounce on two feet. Jumping is just an exaggerated, longer "step" on one leg to me. And we're built to move unilaterally.

That's why for me- jumping off one leg has never been natural. When you jump/squat you don't bounce on one foot. Jumping is just an exaggerated, longer "jump squat" on two feet to me. And we're built to jump bilaterally.




(I actually jump off 1 foot as well, but jumping off 2 never felt natural to you because you are uncoordinated, not because it's a weird movement).

I jump off both 1 and 2 feet pretty darn good. Both feel completely natural. Maybe I'm just uber-coordinated.

that isn't natural blu, we are unilateral creatures blu.

After my 3rd knee surgery on my left knee I had to reduce the amount I jumped off one footed. It was only natural for me to adapt and become a better 2 footed jumper. So the first 16 years of my life, off 1 foot, the next 5 or so off two foot. The last 3 or so I've done both pretty darn well. They both feel completely natural in different situations that they are required for. Just sayin'.
