Shannon Brown comes up with the big putback jam off of Kobe's miss.

shannon brown makes gettin up look so easy i love it damn

[woutakasinistra]

They just couldn't believed he jumped that high, they were shocked, they thought: "I can't be he legally jumps that high"

[Blaze]

guy has hoops for days, that freakly high for someone so short

[cballstar]

I hate how NBA doesn't notice dunkers like Shannon Brownm, James White, Nick Young, JR Giddens, etc. these guys have the most hops in the league and could easily throw down TFB style dunks

[robotsky]

The same thing can be said
for high level shot-putters and throwers. In fact, if you take a true vertical jump from a
standstill without any run-up, these folks tend to vertical jump as well or better then any
group of athletes. The world record standing broad jump is actually held by a thrower
weighing close to 300 lbs!Unfortunately, basketball players aren't anywhere close to this
level of explosiveness. The average NBA 1st round draft pick has a standing vertical of
something like 28 inches.

Some people can dunk in a game, but that doesn't mean they'll kill it in a dunk contest. Brown gets up, but I've never seen him do any finese dunks in a game. You can't just assume he'd be successful in a dunk contest where dunks that you're doing just have height, won't make noise.

he could have jumped over jason terry accdg to that view

[LALAKERSHOW]

pause at 20...could u imagine him touching the top of the backboard cause he said he could if he gets a good take off wow

[Raptorel]

It's not because he protected himself by doing that. You're allowed to grab the rim and hang if you're protecting yourself from possible injury (and injuring others).

[Shedoy]

i dont know what were the coaches complaning about right after brown's dunk

[allentran]

omg did a 6'3 dude just get his head above the rim?

david stern put this man in the slam dunk

[jaytaan]

shit man thats sick hops for a 6"3 guard Props to shannon brown !

[iljrr]

to think that tdub can get his head over the rim at 5'8" is amazing

[iiAmKing]

@pacboy24 it took kobe just four years to get his first ring..it took michael jordan seven? so what do u mean! i dont understand that one!

[BlanknWhite]

He was... and he was absolutely TERRIBLE

[nonplayerzealot]

@RandomPedestrian63 You can hang on the rim to protect yourself, kid. Meaning you don't have a cleared space to land.

[socrates]

Shades of David"Skywalker"Thompson

[MetalMaster]

just because you can jump high doesn't mean you are a good dunker. its all about creativity...

[WBHustlas]

he should be in the dunk contest this year with Lebron james and some other dunker

[JakeBayCity]

Bill Walton: "That guy's pretty good."
