He was too rapped up with dunking that he didn't even look to catching the ball in his hands. Stupid Nate.

Very entertaining game, I was hoping Gordon would go for the MVP there but when Iggy starting raining threes I knew the award was his and deserving so. As always plenty of nice dunks (shame Gordon couldn't get that reverse to go down) from pretty much everyone in the game who could get above the rim, led by Iggy's efforts. Anyone else catch Delonte West after the final buzzer though? I had no idea he could do that.

some guys were playing seriously.

Jasikevicius fouled Iggy to prevent a fastbreak. Good thing though Iggy followed through after the call and did that nice dunk!

- Can't blame him I guess... it just wasnt his sort of game and I don't think he was used to it...

Yes! Iggy with MVP! My fellow Sixers will be happy! lol

Now let's just see if he'll own the slam dunk comp.

- Iggy handsdown stole the show for that game. He definitely put up a show and he was well rewarded.

-Charlie V was awesome that game. I didn't expect him to put up the numbers he did and he really had some nice alley-oops with Luther Head.

-I can see why all of the aussies on this forum are so high on Bogut now. His passing is awesome and his leaping ability isn't that bad either. That guy can be my starting point guard anyday.

-Nate Robinson is very overrated. If he was 6'2 or 6'3 then there wouldn't be as much hype around his leaping ability.

Good stuff, and it shows what people have been saying along, both Iggy and Bogut are heavily underutilized in their current teams.

360 along the baseline...well, perhaps a 270 at the very least.

I wonder if I can find any clips of that somewhere. Oh well, you said it was a 270 si it might not even be worth it.

It wasn't the most impressive dunk I've ever seen but I didn't know he could do it. 270 at the very least, still a nice dunk.
