on Zack Novack!

Good thing for Glenn that Zack graduated or else he might have competition for being the dunk king of Ann Arbor [/sarcasm]

Awesome dunk

Haha gotta love Minnesota facepalm guy in the background after the dunk.

 

EDIT: You can only see him on the first go round as once the gif is in full swing, it moves too fast.  The guy is full bore facepalm though.

Nasty dunk. He probably could have been called for traveling, but I'm glad he didn't. That will make Sportscenter's top ten plays fo sho.

This team just oozes swag, it's fucking awesome.  They force me to jump out of my seat at least 2-3 times per game.  I'm almost giddy watching them sometimes it's so much fun.

Just an absolute disgusting dunk in a game. I love how quiet the crowd was after that. On a side note, do you think he could have been whistled for traveling if a ref felt like being a dick?

It will never get called, but because he gathered the ball with one foot on the floor, technically his feet would need to land simultaneously on the jump stop to be legal. It was a fair question, and if traveling rules were strictly enforced (which was the question), it COULD have been called. I don't have a huge problem with that not being called, because it it wasn't egregious. However, the amount of traveling that takes place (and, even worse, what people now believe to be legal) is one of the most frustrating aspects of the current game. The NBA is the worst, of course.
