He cleared him so easily that I’m not even sure people fully processed what they witnessed in the moment.

One foul… no, two fouls… people can’t just go flying through the air like that Giannis

I'll murder your whole family!

He cleared a wing, not a smal barely 6ft guard. So casually too.

True, it's like that time LeBron jumped over John Lucas, and the commentators didn't even mention it.

I remember watching this game live. I tilted my head and out loud asked myself “did he just jump over Hardaway?” I didn’t get excited I didn’t jump I didn’t cheer, I just sat there in shock. After my mind was able to fully come to terms with what just happened I giggled and said “holy shit!” But everything about this highlight makes it one of the all time greats. The call is fantastic “oooohhhhh!” John McEnroe just sitting in shock. The whole Garden just not sure how to react. It’s great in every way.

nah, they just thought it looked so easy they could do it; anyone could do it!

Idk where it originates from but when I see a dominant leap over dunk I almost always hear "HOW MY DICK TATSTE!!" in my head but this one was just a slight whisper at best...

That line was a rumor in a story from Jordan back in like 91, playing a pick up game. I heard it playing with me fellow junior highers and then we used it every time someone touched the net because we were short and sucked at basketball

I didn’t notice Giannis jumping over Hardaway the first 20 times I watched the clip. Like I legit went a full year and a half wondering what’s so special about the dunk

Gus mailed it in so hard when he did bucks game. Dude was trash.

Devs overturned Giannis now nerf bat needs to swat at the giant nut hit box

[–] TonyTuck@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I expulsed quite a bit of air through my nose reading your comment.

[–] nda2394@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Took a few rereads, but I got what you said

[–] Anal_Iverson@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He John Lucas'd him

[–] GardinerExpressway@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ya this was so clean no one even knew what happened. Shoutout to Hardaway to acting nonchalant to not end up on a highlight reel.

[–] UnsuspectingS1ut@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He was really hoping people wouldn’t notice the Greek freak put his balls on his head

[–] drinfernodds@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Giannis just did the Bill Burr thing "When you can read the defense, white or black that's an intelligent move. But if your answer is to jump over someone with your nuts on their head, the defense isn't thinking 'Fuck, why didn't I think of that shit?' ".
