There is absolutely no way Cousins let Mac shake Bron's hand after that. Wish we could have seen Big Cuz' reaction :lol:
 
the problem with the nba these days is that contesting a dunk will result in a shooting foul 100% of the time unless its no contact all ball which is rare, its much easier to get a charge call so we dont see as many players trying to block shots at the rim as we did in the past and in turn we dont see any posters anymore
Players who come to mind lately are Hibbert, R. Lopez, Ibaka and Splitter who goes vertically up. There's probably more but it's a dying art defending as a big man. It's become the norm to call defensive fouls on a guy who defends an uncontrolled dunk/layup attempt.

I really dislike the Poster glamorization these days too. That's why we see less defense and contesting on dunks and layups. It's like we're saying to the defender he's doing something wrong by contesting the shot.
 
The Lakers look like they have so much more fun and are a lot more relaxed with Kobe out. Like there unsupervised just playing ball how ever they want without having to listen to Kobe ***** at themif they do something wrong.
 
lakers play better without kobe. they're a middle of the road team, but i don't see them improving with kobe this season. i think he'd just be getting in the way to be honest
 
 
Oh yea, because jumping directly OVER a 7 footers head is totally comparable to LeBron jumping by a guy 5" shorter than him and hitting with one leg
but according to your rules and regulations its still not being posterized.and whats the tier list anyway?? posterized > dunked on > dunked near > layuped on > looked at angry > open jump shot ?
