Didn't the other guys tell you? Nobody dunks on Manute B-O-L!

We'll still try to be the reckless-abandon offense, up and down, just maybe not now with the thunderous dunks and unbelievable plays, ... But we have a lot of guys who can get hot, hit open shots and make plays.
It's such a luxury in the NBA to have a four man or five man who can step out and make those long shots, ... If you cannot contain the ball, which we've had some trouble with, those type of big men are going to step up and either score on dunks or they are going to draw and kick to another big guy who can knock down that shot.
I hope AP hits some 3s and Mike dunks on some people. It would be a good way to send them off from Moby.
I think they do definitely feed off each other. If they go in the gym and play basketball, they both know they can jump up and throw down dunks. They're athletes and they're competitors. They know we're counting on them.
They had a few dinks and dunks, but besides that, I think we did a good job of containing them. We eliminated the big plays.
I just want her to play the game under control. And for her, it's much different from any player I've ever coached in that she can be flat-footed and go up and dunk. So it's not like things have to be perfect in her basketball world for her to dunk. If she goes up inside and dunks it, more power to her.
That's probably our toughest thing. We came out fast (vs. Beckley), a lot of dunks, real exciting. Sometimes I wish we wouldn't start out that well, because we start wanting to please the crowd and not play at our tempo.
They put the squeeze on us the second half. And for the first time since Northwestern State, five weeks ago, we hit a point where we cracked. When teams start throwing dunks down, there's a point there where they created a competitive edge.
Because of his height and some of the things he can do. I don't know if many people have seen some things he can do. But if he can make his dunks, he can make his way to the final.
Most schools now have rims the breakaway on the side also. It takes less pressure off of the hand (when someone dunks).
We didn't do a good job of getting back on defense. (Kinston) would get the rebound, then they'd fly down the court for dunks. Their lead just kept getting bigger and bigger.
I want to do for rebounds what Michael Jordan did for dunks.
I'm looking forward to not playing Darrel Mitchell. He's been a thorn in our side. He dunks, falls on his head and comes back and plays. Every year his game has rose up another level. When you switch a player to a new position, you never know how it's going to affect him. It hasn't. It's made him a dual threat. He's had a banner year. If I were to vote for an MVP of the league, I'd go with one (Mitchell) or the other (Davis). I'd ask John which one. Both are dynamite.
The main focus of All-Star weekend is the fans. Once you step onto that court, you want to put on a good show for them. I got open on a lot of breaks, got some easy dunks and from there, got some outside shots.
