ESPN SportsNation On Brewer's Dunk 

Post#1 » by Klomp » Wed Dec 23, 2009 9:12 pm

They just did their 3 Cheers for the Year segment. Brewer got the 3 Cheers

Colin: I didn't know he had it in him. It was like Dominique + Dr. J + MJ. Quite possibly a Top 10 dunk of all-time.


(For those who care, Adrian Peterson got the 2 Cheers for his run versus the Browns.)

Can we modify names? I'd like to drop the Dr. and make it strictly Krapinsky. Dr. just feels a little too formal these days.

I don't agree with it, but publicity from a single great play probably raises trade value -- or at least fan demand.

I hope they play it everywhere.

It was an awesome dunk, but top 10 dunk all time? Definitely not.

I saw that as well. I think they overreacted with the top 10 of all time, but still it was awesome seeing it in real-time.

while I don't agree with it being a top10 dunk of all time it's definitely nice to see him getting some publicity.

I think that if he did that same dunk in Milwaukee against the Bucks, the media wouldn't be giving it as much attention as they have.

Then again if it was Kobe Bryant with the same dunk it might be called the best dunk of all time.

The dunk is on at the end of one of the "where amazing happens" ads now as well.

the best part of our season was a dunk in a game where we got our asses kicked, kind of a bummer

That's really sad. Dunking happens in every NBA game. Granted, this dunk was super awesome holy cow "mama there goes that man!", But if it's in those ads that's implying that the Almighty Lakers short PG getting dunked on by a 6'9" guy is some sort of unbelieveable act.

Is it really that amazing that even a poor team can have one good play against the Lakers, in a loss?

It was a great dunk and it's getting well deserved attention. Let's just leave it at that. :lol:

Nice to see the team getting some national attention and that was an awesome dunk from. He's shown some good improvement so far this year and I think it might be time to start adding his name to the list of core players.

At least Brewer is putting together good games this season, not every game but hopefully it's a sign he's turning the corner and next season we can look forward to him becoming more consistent.
