Good show. Can't wait to see him doing it again against Wisky in the Kohl Center...

Help is on the way.
OHMYGOOOODDDD!!! I had a front-row seat for that. Right before he rises up, when you can see the second row, I am at the top of the screen. You can see my white t-shirt under my jersey lol

Sweet! Years ago I was watching a Syracuse game, against St Johns I think, and they had a guy named David Johnson who could jump out of the gym. In a span of like a minute, he had a regular dunk, then back to back fast break dunks where he did a 180 and finally a 360. The crowd and the CBS announcers went nuts. That was probably 20 years ago and it's still the best dunks I've ever seen in a game.
Sam reminds me of the days of Treg Lee. He was the king of the alley-oop dunk.
Nice!

How that 360 Slam Dunk isnt the top play on Sportscenter is beyond me, let alone 6th.
I'm thinking it wasn't as exciting for non-Buckeye fans -
It was kind of more like a 180 - his back was to the hoop before he left the floor.
That doesn't make it any less impressive....

Disagree.
It is kind of overrated. It wasn't on Top Plays this morning and I'm not sure it should be. Just my opinion and I apologize I don't freak out over every Slam Thompson dunk. Perhaps it's because he's shown us much better than this particular one. But the 180 on the floor / 180 in the air kind of takes away from it.
Best call of the game...as soon as Thompson got the ball the announcer says "oh oh!"

BTN had a mock Slam Dunk Contest line-up for the B1G and how Thompson wasn't winning is beyond me. Oladipo was winning last I checked.
“Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect.” - Woody
Thompson would destroy Oladipo in level of difficulty because of his jumping ability/hang time. However, Oladipo would probably win out on style points because he can throw it down with a lot more panache. Thompson is barely heavy enough or strong enough to make the rim breakaway. His dunks are amazing nevertheless, just not always thunderous.
Sidepoint: Thomas had probably the most electric dunk of his career last night. That fast break, two-hand behind the head pump was pretty sweet. I'm surprised he is athletic enough to do that. I'm talking to you national sportswriters.
*see Michael Jordan, hang time, flight, degree of difficultly etc always beat Dominque Wilkins and all the other power dunkers.

I know I've seen that move on NBA Jam...

I love watching Slam play shooty hoops. He is really showing some good defense hee latly. He had a nice block last night and splashed a tre' as well. I hope he really blossoms over the off seaon. seems like a good kid. Love the baby face.
During the call on BTN last night (i think it was Jimmy Jackson) right after the two-hand behind the head dunk, said he has a 46 inch vertical. That is serious hops. I like the development of his game during B1G play, shooting and defense. If he sticks around, and he should, Slam could develop into a very good sg.
Side note: do you know what I would do with a 46 inch vert?
DUNK. All day, every day.
****igan smells like old water that hot dogs were boiled in. FACT
I figure that anyone who ever watched Bill Robinson in a game has to be downright jumping for joy to watch Thompson dunk. It's like when Derek Anderson was at OSU and he'd take off and throw down a tomahawk. Sam, like some other leapers we have had, is fun to watch.
