Rodney Williams Dunk

[GopherNation]

Does anyone know where I can find the Rodney Williams dunk at Michigan last year. That dunk was just ridiculous and I can't seem to find it anywhere.

No question Rodney is exciting and most of you probably cannot touch the rim. It's only worth 2 points, doesn't matter MUCH if he lay's it in or slams it.

Although it's true, one of these 'type dunks' will pump up the team a bit.

ooh it matters....we have high fliers on the team now, and they are going to rip the rims down. Tubby is taking us to a title.

Like I was getting at, it matters MORE to geeks who can't dunk or even touch the rim. In a game it's worth 2 points and small bit of momentum.

Thanks for the video link. Seems like Rodney could have easily done another 180 on the Michigan dunk (he has time to look around before he dunks). Maybe 540 dunk behind his head at Tipoff.

When his dunk last year made ESPN's top plays, they had one of the T-wolves in studio when they showed it. His response was funny - genuinely impressed / surprised with the height - I'm sure he has seen a lot of dunks.

Would like Rodney to take the ball to the basket more (I don't care if he loses it). Just needs to get a step on his defender, then with his long strides, carry the ball and jump. Like Mychal Thompson would launch himself at the basket, for very fast dunks. Almost unstoppable.

One of my biggest pet peves. Yes, it's worth two points just like any other layup or dunk, but when you can get up significantly higher than the defender, it makes it significantly harder to block/defend. I think the odds of Rodney or Mbakwe getting blocked without getting fouled when they go up for a dunk is much, much lower than someone getting blocked who is less athletic and is just going for a simple layup in traffic.

That Grier dink is still one of my favorites. The picture angle makes it look even better. That picture was on my computer for most of that winter. He put on a show that game.

He out scored Wisconsin in the 2nd half. It was one of the best games I've ever attended.

Thanks for throwing this up. This is something I put together that has every one of Rodney's dunks from his freshman year on it (even some of the less impressive ones). I had just come to realize that none of those were online so I thought I would help some fans out and I'm happy to see it getting put to use
