Oop to Nike

Dude is athletic as hell and seemingly the fastest guy on the court more often than not when he plays. Not gonna be that guy, though.
If I were going to be that guy, I would say he would probably be a hell of a wide receiver and Narduzzi should try to work some eligibility magic.

I put this in my top 10 Pitt dunks.
We all know the Top 5 or 6, but this one stood out .

Only two I can think of are Page and Lane. I'm sure Page is on there a few times in addition to Georgetown though.
I swear Chris Jones or someone unexpected had a pretty nasty one at a Florida State game I was at.
Sam Young made it look too easy , but there were more .
Does Pittsburgh miss the old Big East teams, the crowds go nuts for Syracuse .
Should we schedule Villanova and Georgetown ? I say yes.

Do either Villanova or Georgetown have any interest in playing us?
That's most likely the problem there.
We should defintely try to play at least one (not counting WVU) every year.
Page over Boumtje Boumtje is the second best dunk after Lane breaking the backboard.

I’m glad someone posted this, because this was the first dunk I thought of when I say Nike’s oop. “There you go!”
How about Derrelle Porter at The Big East Tourney I forgat what year but he was High as The SKY.
Call him YEAST...because he can RISE.... I'll see my way out...tip your waiters and bar staff.
Page over boumje is easily the best by a wide margin
Lane’s dunk honestly isn’t special other than rafftery’s call
I am going to miss Nike, he has a lot more to give with his speed and hops. He will play for a check!
Young’s windmill at Louisville is the most impressive too
The amount of air was amazing. Shades of the classic Tom Chambers dunk.
Awesome play, that will be replayed up there with other classic Pitt dunks.
Surprised he didn’t get the T for hanging though. Out of “respect” for Boeheim, as refs are wont to do…

I actually said at the time that he probably deserved one. He did, after all, swing on the rim. Which you are not allowed to do.
He is SO smart, he pushed Jesse Anderson away from the basket to give Nike the free run, but was subtle enough about it to not get a penalty
Call me crazy, but I don't remember Page playing in the 2020 BET.
My old brain is broken and can only go back as far as 2020 apparently.
Villanova wasnt all that good when we were great. (With one huge exception obviously).
In my mind, our heyday intersected more with UConn, Cuse, and even WVU.
Darelle Porter against Georgetown. So good it was used in a vignette for a PBS documentary about whether African-Americans are genetically more athletically gifted than Caucasians.
For some reason I can’t find a clip of that dunk anywhere. Porter’s body was basically 90 degrees parallel to the rim as he flushed it on a 7 footer.
Keith Benjamin also had a couple of really good ones back in the mid 2000s.
It looks like it but he hangs on until his momentum is back underneath him and then immediately lets go.
No way that’s a T.
The video of Darelle's dunk is in my post above, in case you missed it..

For me, UConn was THE team. Just a different energy and it felt like winning those games proved we were among the Big East elite.
Syracuse obviously. We had great games with the Jeff Green/Roy Hibbert Georgetown teams.
Nova performed well in the NCAA Tournament but was kinda an afterthought when Pitt was in the Big East. Not sure why because the Ray/Foye/Lowry/Nardi and Reynolds/Cunningham/Fischer/Stokes teams were great, just never had that energy.
