    Yeah, isn’t he Walter?

  • Josh Posted: Apr.14 at 12:00 pm
    Still not his most impressive shot from the sideline: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsk49Am1jqg

    yes, fixed.

  • Tuomas Posted: Apr.14 at 12:19 pm
    His hands must be at least almost as big as Otis Thorpe’s. Jesus! And with Cowens, that’s gangsta.

    Josh, I don’t think that’s quite as impressive, but it does make him even more worthy of his nickname.

    FABIOOOOOOO

  • Roberto Posted: Apr.14 at 12:43 pm
    Josh, maybe if the shorts didn’t rip off and he had to normall do it, then it would be more impressive. Even though it’s not Walter I think this one is more impressive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldglyW7Afvs

    thats cool he did it sitting down, i used to do it standing up

  • T Money Posted: Apr.14 at 12:58 pm
    The most points he’s scored off the bench this season?

  • T Money Posted: Apr.14 at 1:01 pm
    @Josh: I suppose if I had the athleticism of Walter Hermannn I would also need to strip to make a dunk interesting.

  • Holy Baller Posted: Apr.14 at 1:03 pm
    Lol Josh’s link is hilarious! Walter Hermann is a beast!

    i’m thinking these NBA players are more talented than they seem watching all these bullcrap trick shots (Oden hitting from 3/4 court on first try, Kevin Love’s insane strength, Sheed shooting left handed, Dennis Rodman on Joe’s VS Pros hitting 80% of his FTs while on a treadmill). The good shooters always hit all their shots in pre-game warmups but shoot their “averge” during the game. Mike Penberthy comes to mind. I remember watching him drain shot after shot when he was with the Lakers. But he would brick everything during the game as if he wasn’t allowed to make shots.

    Like in the Movie Eddie!

  • ciolkstar Posted: Apr.14 at 3:44 pm
    EVERYTHING is harder with the game on the line, dma. Compare talking with a group of friends to giving a speech in front of 20,000 with a few million more watching on TV.
    And what “insane stregth” are you referring to for KevLove? To me, dude looks like he still got a little baby fat…

  • Coach Master Posted: Apr.14 at 3:45 pm
    A lot of spare time on the bench

  • Yassi Posted: Apr.14 at 5:14 pm
    @dma: what comes to MY mind is SLAM then saying: “What is a Penberthy and what is it doing on the Lakers bench?” (quoted from memory)
    ;-) :-)

  • ab_40 Posted: Apr.14 at 5:51 pm
    hmm doesn’t beat his strip down dunk contest winning dunk haha.

  • Edu Posted: Apr.14 at 6:48 pm
    He’s a hell of a playa and I’m sorry for you guys for never having the chance to see him play.

  • Randy Brown Posted: Apr.14 at 7:07 pm
