on highlights on ESPN trying to dunk at the Virginia game? he more or less missed the first attempt and then fell on his a## after making his second attempt which was a baby dunk at best.....granted he was in street clothes but you'd think a guy 7'2 or whatever he was could still dunk one down without much to do.....I guess a combo of bad knees and getting old is a mofo!!!
anybody see ralph sampson...

this was the second funniest thing I heard or saw today which for me was a bad day. How about majerus just flat out bad mouthing bastita's chances of playing in the NBA!! :142smilie He went on for a good couple of minutes about how he had no hops.....he was a "willing" runner but labored doing it because of his heavy feet.....my god it was classic...I love majerus he is brutally honest......he was killing the kid on national TV.....I needed a little humor today and Sampson and Majerus provided.....though Sampson in all honesty bordered on sad. :sadwave:

If you think a 7'4" guy falling on his a$$ trying to baby dunk a basketball is looking good....then yes, he looked good.

Have you seen alot of former athletes from the early 80's lately???
A lot of them are way overweight and just look really old..............
I thought Sampson looked like he has taken pretty good care of himself and still looked somewhat young.........only a little gray hair........
and yeah..........you try dunking a basketball at 46 with a suit on.......and dress shoes...........
even at 7'4"........it would still be hard with dress shoes that slide.........

don't worry blazer.....if you're 7'4" with the wing span of a condor you too will still be able to jump the required 4 inches to dunk...even at age 46!!
