What's up with that? I've seen him miss more dunks than make this season. does he have small hands or something?
Maybe he's got sore knees. He's got about as much knee gear as Patrick Ewing. I don't think that was his normal game gear from college.
Coming back early from the knee sprain probably tweaked his other knee a bit. Doesn't seem to have as much lift/explosion as we saw pre-injury. Hopefully it'll come back.
I think it has to do with knowing precisely when to take jump, and perhaps he gets so excited when he is dunking that he hits the back of the hoop with the ball. Maybe he is thinking too much about the defenders, and not enough about the "hole".
He figured it out last night though, didn't he.
