Darrion Pellum of Hampton with College Basketball’s Dunk of the Year (Probably?)

All, College Basketball, Video Jason McIntyre February 16th. 2012, 1:12pm

Darrion Pellum of Hampton pulled a Tracy McGrady on the fast-break last night. McGrady’s happened in an All-Star game. You rarely see someone with the cojones to try and pull this off in the middle of a game. Creativity? 10. Dexterity? 10. Hang-time? 10. What a phenomenal dunk. Take a bow, Darrion Pellum.

We’re six weeks into 2012, and it seems like I’ve seen at least four or five “dunks of the year” on this site.

Apparently Hampton won last night by 20. That sucks, would’ve been much more fun if he had done this in a losing effort.

Yes. Very original.
nice dunk though. Hate the idea of doing it in game though. Would much rather prefer see players try this and fail in game.

I’m not sure. I think there had to be. Venue was pretty strict on taping though.
I would be shocked if he isn’t putting out a live album or DVD from this tour.

nothing has surfaced on etree or any of the typical sources… yet. I’m sure there will be some covert FOB source that pops eventually. not that there’s a board at the symphony, but you get what I mean.

JMac loves this dunk so much because it reminds him of that one time in pickup hoops he tried to throw a pass to himself off the backboard so that he could do a two-hand slap layup.

symphony’s generally have very strict policies regarding this sort of thing. they won’t even seat you mid-movement.

symphonies do and i know the etiquette involved…i guess if the symphony had issues with it, fine, but the bottom line is they’re guests. it’s trey’s intellectual property.

Can’t confirm that’s the dunk of the year, what we need is that dunk to compete head to head against mostly mediocre dunks with a voting system
before finally competing against a popular dunk selected through convoluted moneyed interests.

It’s not about me being able to put out a better piece of music than Trey. It’s about the fact that this guy is a “professional” musician and he composes incredibly awful “music.” I feel bad for those orchestral musicians that are paid to play his slop.

i feel bad for orchestral musicians who lost their jobs because some dickhead can do the same thing at 80% of the quality on a keyboard, but i digress…
different strokes. at least he tried…more than you can say about most of today’s musicians.

By the way SG, this was at one of the real swanky venues here so there was a hilarious mix of old people in formal wear and hippies reeking of pot. Waiting in line for booze before the show (shots of Grand Marnier, only way to do it) was like living in a Visine commercial.
