Hoops, Real Estate and Politics..

One of the all time best dunks by anyone wearing a Suns uniform was Kevin Johnson going off on Hakeem Olajuwon. I always liked Kevin as he played hard, had a lot of talent and seemed like a genuinely nice guy. Since retiring from basketball, he has been involved in real estate development and has now decided to run for mayor of Sacramento. When I read this, I was a little surprised but not entirely. I wish him well but mostly, I wanted to share this video with you. :-) I remember watching this game and literally jumping to my feet when he dunked on the big guy..

Hi Steve.. Thanks for stopping by! Now that the Suns finally have a "big guy" of their own, I hope they can make it pay off. Looks like they still have some work to do though. :-)

As much fun as the KJ dunk was, the John Starks dunk on the Bulls was one of my all time favorites. Click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnANzFkW2oQ

MJ was nothing but the third man over on that...."over" him might be an exaggeration. I think the dunk Max wanted to link to was this one. I've always been partial to this one too.

In all seriousness- I saw the headlines about KJ and thought he was a good floor leader. Some of those skills will be helpful in politics.

Jim... the MJ dunk over Ewing is also one of the best. I remember watching that game and being amazed with his ability to elude nearly the entire Knicks team for that spectacular dunk. Nice pick.
