ok man. but ITS MORE NATURAL. than throwing it off the glass. Can we agree on that. Can we agree it takes more time to through it off the glass. Can we agree its more "flashy" than a windmill or 360?
If you can't then I don't know what to tell you. Its a reason we see windmills and 360's but not off the glass to yourself very often. So while it takes some thought to windmill or 360 its not as nearly contrived as a off the glass dunk which has more margin for error. Don't argue just to argue.
You've watched and supposedly been around too much basketball not do get how his play is just wrong in all aspects.
What is more natural was not what the argument was about. Calling one natural (360 and windmills) and the other un-natural (off-glass) was the argument. If we were discussing what was more natural I wouldn't have even said anything about it. I responded to the idea that doing a 360 or windmill was a natural basketball reaction by someone of that elite level. I say NO. I don't care how elite you are, it still takes thought to pull that off. On a break, think about dunk, perform dunk. Again, your definition of natural might differ from mine because I can't possibly see how that would be considered natural.
Again, I group them all as flashy dunks. None are natural. That as my initial argument. Don't switch it up now and say, "Off glass takes more thought, etc." That was not what we were discussing. You called a 360 and a windmill a NATURAL act for certain elite athletes. No it is not natural for anyone.
And what the hell are you talking about? Did you not see me saying that he had no business doing the dunk considering his team's status? I think you missed that part. Not sure how considering I said it multiple times. I guess you missed all of this:
But the point here is, if you are losing, keep it simple. I really can't say it any better than that. Especially if your team is losing and a 1-12 squad, keep it simple. Especially when you are viewed as one of the most immature dudes in the NBA. Keep it simple. He isn't good enough to be throwing it off the backboard in a situation like that.
