NBL Dunk of the Year?



If you missed Fox Sports coverage of the Wollongong Hawks and New Zealand Breakers NBL game on Wednesday night, you missed a candidate for Dunk of the Year.

But thanks to Sydney photographer Catherine Cranston, Tom Abercrombie's alley-oop dunk has been captured on film (or pixels).

To give a quick recap, Abercrombie went back door and Hoovered (vacuumed) in a pass that looked like it would ricochet off the backboard and kick start a fast break for the Hawks. Abercrombie climbed the stairs and made the pass look like it was meant to be.
Not since James "the Alabama Slammer" Crawford have I witnessed an athlete in the NBL go and get it like that.

If you enjoyed these pictures, maybe you want to drop Catherine a line and see what else she has in her portfolio. (cat9_pics@hotmail.com)
