RUN-TMC



Some vintage Warriors action...

Chris Mullin's one-handed dunk at around 1:39 in just makes me laugh everytime I see it. I think it's just the sheer audacity and forcefulness of the jam combined with the fact that the Mullin most people have seen doesn't even come close to possessing the hops needed to pull this off. And the fact that his body kinda goes rag-doll limp after he hangs on the rim a bit. Haha!

Also, seeing Timmy Hardaway cross people over and finish creatively at the rim lends a lot of credence to a Bay Area sportswriter's (sorry, I forget his name) comment in the latest SLAM that Baron Davis is basically a latter-day Tim Bug. To Baron's credit, he has probably 5 inches, 20 pounds of muscle and waaaay more hops on Timmy in his prime.
