Deonte Burton of Nevada Threw Down a Ridiculous One-Handed Alley-Oop Off an Inbounds Pass
Deonte Burton is a 6-foot-1 guard for Nevada. Against UNLV, he did this Tuesday. It was a one-handed tomahawk dunk off an inbounds pass. It brought back memories of Quincy Acy in the 2012 NCAA tournament. Who could have seen that coming? An oop to a big man down the middle maybe, but when a 6-1 guard goes down the middle, you don’t expect him to go up for an alley-oop. This young man can jump really freaking high.
Back in November, Burton hit this loooong 3 to beat Wisconsin-Green Bay. Nice player.

Did he facialize someone? I’m only interested if there was something pseudo-sexual about it.

My son’s hoops league is on eight foot goals (he is six.) Eight feet is a long way for me nowadays. I can do it, but it isn’t worth it anymore.

This is kind of how I feel about it. Dunking on an 8 ft. basket was cool when I was 11 or 12. Now it’s just a sign of how old and, spoiler alert, white I am.

Update: Sadly, this was Levar Burton and this was a clip from him on the holodeck.

Been a long time since I lowered the hoop, but I’m assuming I can touch that rim without jumping, maybe flatfooted

Are you a quick dunker or do you let it soak in some milk for a few seconds?
January 30th, 2013 at 1:07 PM
Team dunk and hold. Have to let the milk saturate
