Weak technical. If he didn't hold onto the rim, he'd probably have sustained a similar injury to the one Andrew Bogut did two seasons ago. Fortunately it doesn't count towards his season total, as far as I'm aware.

I wonder if there are any players who have played as many years as him (like 11) & clocked up less than 260 regular season appearances. That's pretty hard to top IMHO.

None spring immediately to mind, it's a pretty rare feat if not unique.

I saw this live and for a second thought it was Aminu or someone. Jordan has incredible agility for a 6'11" guy!

The offensive foul was probably there. Still looked as cool as hell, and it was a big fucking jump.

a sayin it before the regular season starts Kyrie is R.O.Y!!!

If Evans were a big name, that probably would've been an awesome and-one. As it stands it's a legitimate charge according to the way they're called in the NBA, a good heads up play by Wallace to get out of the restricted area, but it's one of those calls I'm not too fond of.

That was a blocking foul and a poster by Jeremy Evans. The defender set his feet while Evans was in the air. It's not something I would expect the refs to notice in real time, though. When something happens like that, they should just let the play go.

Actually more of an up-and-under windmill than a reverse but awesome no matter what you want to call it.

Agreed, though the way charges are called in the NBA they don't really seem to place much stock in when the defender's feet are set. From memory, it's not even spelled out very clearly in the rulebook. It's something I'd like to see cleaned up.

[Patr1ck]

Your right, and I was someone who actually pointed that out before. It is a charge.

[The X]

It shouldn't be a charge. Player was still moving when Evans left his feet. Sure he got into good position & outside no charge zone, but he was a tad late.

[Andrew]

For sure. By the NBA's standards it's a fair charge call, but those standards need to be changed.

James Crawford had one almost exactly like that in the '95 grand final, and the commentator insisted it was basically a 360.

Agreed. The no-charge arc should be smaller, too.

New vid ready guys,a mix about T-Mac and his last try in order to return to the top tier! I sacrifised a little of the quality of the vids,in order to make it look better in total,as I had to resize most of them to cut the scoreboards,and also most of his Houston years vids were in SD,but I think overall this one is the best of the 4 mixtapes I've made so far... Comments are more than welcome!

His variations of 360 dunks are my favourites. That's the kind of stuff I want to see in NBA contests, creative twists on old standards.

[JaoSming]

Seriously, what was that funky ugly awesome dunk at :55?

Damn, he made an anticlockwise spin and a clockwise windmill!!!
I can't even describe what he did there!

[Patr1ck]

It was a reverse-360, two handed reverse-half-windmill.

[Andrew]

And pretty awesome, to boot.
