It is unlikely that we will offer anything remotely close to the infamous Double Dunk ever again, but to celebrate Steve Smith's birthday please enjoy this image of Smitty celebrating in style after posterizing Big Bad GheorgheMuresan.
While we're here, Smitty gets Jersey of the Week as well. This is the best Dwyane Wade jersey money can buy. So we bought it.
Much enjoyment can be derived from observing opposition bench reactions to posters or crossovers, Exhibit A being this Clipper leaving the stadium after Vince's ridiculous windmill.
However, you rarely see a player in the game express their approval of an opponent's play at the expense of their teammate.
Enter Jayson Williams.
James Robinson dunks on Kendall Gill
(January 15, 1998)
We don't know how Gill felt after this, but having your nearest teammate respond in this manner is far from supportive. Bruised egos and locker room questioning aside, this reaction from Williams way back in '98 is good for our GIF of the Week.
NB: This is the first time we have featured Hollywood Robinson, hopefully it isn't the last.
Much to our disappointment, the NFL recently outlawed the over-the-crossbar dunk celebration. In response, we have elected not to outlaw GIFs of 5'8 Barry Sanders throwing down 360s in '93.
Coming in at around no. 5 on the "Great Injustices of the NBA" list, Antonio Daniels is best remembered for falling victim to a double ankle breaker by Allen Iverson, not for his impressive collection of poster dunks.
Without doubt, the most spectacular of these dunks is this two handed smash on Kirilenko accompanied by flailing dismount.
Antonio Daniels on Andrei Kirilenko
(April 3, 2003)
In addition, Daniels deserves some recognition for returning the favour to AI in that same game he himself got dropped. See Ballislife for more.
In his three seasons with the Lakers, George Lynch managed to wear Kobe's number (24) and Shaq's number (34).
If this feat needs to be at all acknowledged, it may as well be here. Believe it or not he also found time to wear No. 30 at some stage before being shipped off to the Grizzlies.
This jersey was listed on eBay, but recently sold. Be sure to check daily for future offerings...
NB: The 24 jersey would be next worn by Lloyd 'Sweet Pea' Daniels, who we will get to in due course.
