Who even said Bell is trying to be creative? Dunking over 3, 4 or 5 people isn’t meant to be creative — it’s simply a show of skill. Somebody like Roger Mason running off 20 straight makes from beyond the arc isn’t “creative” like Kevin Love hitting a bunch of H-O-R-S-E shots; it’s a show of skill. And to me, that can be just as impressive in its own way. A dunk contest doesn’t have to be all about creativity. Look at Harold Miner. If you can blow them away by just showing how high you can jump or how hard you can dunk, sometimes that’s good enough.

Also, keep in mind it’s AP calling Bell college’s best dunker, not all of us. And not all of us jizzed our pants about the NAIA dude who dunked from the free throw line last week or said he was the best dunker in college. Just like the readers, the writers have their own separate opinions.

@AB, so what, half your staff can’t even really ball and your sittin here calling this kid colleges best dunker so how come we can’t have our opinions on it? also, didnt just last week you guys jizz your pants about the D2 kid dunkin from the foul line with the lob? wasn’t he colleges best dunker? Lastly, wether people here can do it or not, jumping over people in dunk contests is kinda lame after a while. Its really not THAT creative. Like the other college dunk contest that sonny weems won, the only dunk the corpus christi kid could do was jump over people. First dunk, jump over 1 guy, second dunk jump over 2 guys, last dunk jump over 3….If you can jump over 1, you prolly have enough height to jump over 2 people of the same height huddled close together etc..

I don’t think anyone here is saying they can do better, but that doesn’t mean no one can criticize. Otherwise, no one here (not me, you, or even doc) can say anything bad about any NBA player.
