Ok he doesn't use a lot of force on his dunks, it's more carefull and smoothe. But he has bigger hands, much bigger standing reach, nice vertical leap and jump distance when he gets running momentum can dunk one hand, alley ups, can dunk with speed and quickness. Bass can't do these things well, two hand power dunks basically his one big advantage.

 

Gortat is almost 7 feet tall, his between legs looks not so bad and he can dunk from free throw line. For a guy his size it's pretty impresive. In dunk contest Polish Hamma would be better Wink

 

no hes white bc hes awkward.. jeez almighty the race card please.. and i see the winky wink but the mention is still unjust... anywho i say hes awkward because he looks like the bad guy in a bond movie, hes just lurchlike all around, plus he has the jumpman tat and i saw him to the spread legged dunk once and i just laughed and laughed.... by awkward i mean hes got nothing smooth about him, dont get me wrong i love the guy on our team and love watching him play, but if u cant admit he has some "awkardness" to him then well.. maybe its bc ur awkward too idk... and i saw bass catch a sweet oop towards the end of the season that i actually thought was dwight for some reason.. ill hafta look for it..

C'mon, racism thing was full time 100 % joke.

 

He's not Miss Poland candidate for sure and he can be awkward in many aspects of the game for sure, but not seeing his dunking this way.

 

And when I see him outrunning all defenders in brake, catching strong, flat, hard angle, 1/3 court pass in full run and finishing with one hand dunk (not slowing even a bit) I'm asking how many 7 feet guy's in NBA can do this. How many can dunk from free throw line and then yes, word "smooth" comes to my mind. For sure not "lurchlike" about it. Most of the centers in NBA would love to be as lurchlike as Gortat in these aspects of the game.

Even this "spread legged dunk", how many could do this as good as him ? I've never seen it live of course but catched it few times in pre game wormups and it didn't look so bad for a guy his size.

 

i know u were kidding, but i didnt want to get some of the children all riled up. what your saying is exactly the point i was trying to make though. BECAUSE he looks sorta awkward just standing around, and then makes a nice, strong transition dunk, it often tends to make the dunk even more special and awesome because of the contrast... like when AJ dunks.. its the contrast that makes it sweet, whereas i, personally, like the mechanics of Bass' dunks better because he brings some authority, whereas Tat usually finishes with that gliding, in stride, transition dunk and no matter how many times he does it you never really expect it or understand it and you always laugh while u clap and cheer (admit it).

 

And to the guy that called me a tard....i was never debating skill or league interest but thanks for your elequant rebuttle... you truly are a master linguist.. a true gentleman and scholar...on a side note: yo' momma!
