During the 1981-82 season, Caldwell Jones ranked 9th in total blocked shots, 9th in blocks per game, and made the All-Defensive First Team. Those honors make the fact that he got posterized by a one-handed dunk from a white guy who was specifically known for his lack of jumping ability that much more awesome.

It's so weird to look at the play styles of that era and how almost foreign they seem compared to today's.
Definetly a WOTN!

Hell yeah!
Where are all the pointless between the leg dribbles and the desperate drives to the basket flailing around begging for a foul instead of making that dumb-ass extra pass?
Lazy bums!
A pic of him in his draft day suit smiling that goofy grin would be fine, but as much as I can't stand him, I can't deny that he's a pretty solid player.
great great quote
But in the mano-a-mano war metaphor that has dominated the NBA for over a decade, it is seen as domination, frequently in sexist terms. Fact is, I admire a player that tries to alter the shot while not picking up the foul. He should be praised. And if I guy makes the dunk, he should be praised for making a tough shot, not for "posterizing."
Part of the reason I don't like it is that players have become so conscious of their reputations. Consequently, some won't even challenge a shot that way for fear of being posterized.
In other words, the John Starks dunk should be remembered for it being THE John Starks dunk, not for whom he dunked over.

At first i thought this was some funny self-made trailer for the real game, but if they're gonna publish it like that, it is the biggest piece of crap i've ever seen.

Sent off in the span of 89 seconds with 2 boneheaded moves! Utter and total fail.
