Tyler traveled on his dunk on KG. Blatantly.

It's pretty much impossible to dunk on KG by going over him, since he can cover a large portion of the area above the rim with his hands without jumping. The only way is to get him out of position and beat him to the hoop with quickness, but that's tough because he is very disciplined about staying in his "territory". IMHO, he eased up on Hansboro after about the 3rd step because it was so obviously a violation. I don't recall seeing a single replay of that dunk on ESPN or elsewhere when the sportscaster didn't make a comment about how blatent a travel it was.

I remember watching that play and thinking that you had to give it to Hansbrough, even with the travel. He decided to take it to Kenny and Carolina's momentum was certainly affected by the successful no-call.

he did dunk but he got behind george and george tried to squeeze him and keep him from dunking and it didnt work. someone needs to go straight up with KG and dunk on him, not around him.....pull a vince carter and go over him.

There are a lot of guys out there who can get their hand a lot higher than KG. That isn't the issue. By defination, to DUNK on someone, no matter how high you get, you eventually have to bring the ball DOWN to the rim, and unless you get AROUND him (like Hansboro did) his hands will be waiting for you when you get there. The other possibility, for someone like Dwight Howard or Shaq who might be strong enough, would be to dunk THROUGH the block, but as huge as KG's hands are, that's gunna be tough.

I just want him to hold his hands up over the rim and for ANTHONY SMITH to attack him and when he puts his hands up there to bend his hands over the rim and break his wrists... Teach that big Goaltending mother a lesson

Did someone mention something about Kenya? My pastor and a group from my church is in Nairobi this week as well. Just a random thought since this whole Kenny George discussion seems just as random.

Sly, have your pastor be on the lookout for some 7-foot centers or some shooting guards. Have him get take down some names & numbers. And give him a tape measure that's NOT metric.
