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)

Some Friday Morning TV

It's Friday and it's raining up here in the 'Ville so I thought a few YouTube highlights would fill in the day.

This first one comes courtesy of Mili and his nerd searching. Does Time Duncan get a bad Gaterade?



This one was a number one play in the States a few days ago. Can this guy fly or was it the boost? (D2 Dunk of the Year!)




The BasketballProfessor has come up with this gem. I like how you are trying to give Aaron Bruce a tip or two. I am waiting Bruce!



Enjoy your Friday.
