    Wow! A basketball player that shoots absolutely nothing but dunks! Maybe he could be our version of baseball’s DH only with dunks. When he passes the ball to a team-mate does he run up and dunk it to him. What about his free throw technique? Does he leap from the line?

    I wonder how he eats his coffee and doughnuts?
