Has anyone ever seen him dunk or have *rare* footage?

I could have sworn I saw him dunk at least once or twice back in his Duke days...

Yes he can dunk, and i can honestly say that he can dunk well. I went to the Mavs game about a month ago and JJ did a sick dunk in warmups. It was like a semi-windmill. I was shocked, didnt know he could do that and he showed lots of hops.

I'm pretty sure every NBA player can dunk, and I believe I've seen JJ a couple times in college dunk.

It's amazing how bad he is in peoples minds. Reality doesn't matter because none of us will ever really see him play. At least not in any kind of decent or consistent minutes.

I am not joking. Im sure other people that go to games alot can verify that as Mogrady did. JJ gets alot of bad rep when it comes to his athletecism because he is short, white and has short arms but he is more athletic than people think. Didnt he have the best lateral quickness in the draft or something like that?

Well I guess I bought into that. Would be something to see it in a game. Would start the JJ chants earlier in every game but Stan would probably paste him below the bench for showboating.
