Collison on Westbrook dunk
Darren Collison wasn't surprised with Russell Westbrook's dunk over Oregon's LeKendric Longmire. Asked what he saw on the play, Collison said:
``What didn't you see? He doest that every day. I think he's one of the most athletic if not the most athletic players in the country. I'm going to have fun watching that on youtube.''
ESPN was sure was giving Russell A LOT of love on that dunk over Longmire. They showed it from 3 different angles. Still amazes me how lightly recruited he was. He could be at Pepperdine right now or Fullerton or SDSU.

My bad. It was 4 different angles and RW's dunk made #1 for Plays of the Day.
Btw, hope Nike trots out new black unis for the remaining teams on the schedule.
UCLA 2
Nike Black Unis 0
That dunk was PURE EVIL.
If you freeze the video right at :39 seconds, you have you cover photo for the 2008-2009 basketball media guide. I think that would be a fitting response to Oregon's "taunt-gate" scandal this year.
