DUNKtionary term of the day:
THE ALLEY-OOP – a basketball play that essentially transcended the outer reaches of the fine line of what is deemed impossible, the alley-oop defies the laws of reality and forever revolutionized the game of basketball. Since it’s inception, the alley-oop has managed to capture the minds of the world and at times has instilled a sense of unity in times of war and despair. The alley-oop requires the work of two teammates and consists of one teammate lofting the basketball near the vicinity of the basketball rim (the “alley”) while a second teammate elevates to catch the basketball in midair and slam dunks the ball (the “oop”).
Example: The patient is going into cardiac arrest! Give me an alley-oop stat!!!!!
Throughout basketball’s great history, it is a rarity to capture many of the earlier feats that have helped paint the landscape of basketball as we know it today. Luckily for us, the birth of the alley-oop has been captured and has been stored away only to have been authorized by the ABA to be shown right here on thewarriorsblog.com as an exclusive!!! Behold. The majesty that is known as the alley-oop.
As much as it still stings, I can’t deny that this was one of the best alley-oops in NBA history.
The W’s can do some damage in the playoffs themselves. Boom to JRich from long distance.
One of the many plays that made Zeke one of my all time favorite baskeball players to watch growing up. This is vintage Isaiah showing that it isn’t all about the dunker. The passer can add some flash to the mix too.
Sometimes though, it can be both parties involved. Pre-NRA Gil (plus fro) and JRich taking a page out of Zeke’s cookbook and adding some extra seasoning.
