The Detroit Pistons guard was on the receiving end of the latest Lob City posterization. Just a few days after Jamal Crawford and Blake Griffin teamed up for an epic alley-oop , two other Clippers may have topped it. At the very least, the dunk toppled Knight.
With the Clippers leading Detroit by 19 points late in the second quarter on Sunday, Chris Paul dribbled along the perimeter and threw up an alley-oop pass to DeAndre Jordan. Misguidedly, the 6'3 Knight tried to get in Jordan's way. Undeterred, Jordan caught the pass and threw down a vicious one-handed anchorage ak car rental discount dunk over the Pistons' sophomore.

Great dunk, but the meaning of "posterized" has evidently changed over the years. It used to mean that when someone (say Julius Erving or David Thompson) went up to exercise his air superiority, the defender (often but not exclusively someone with comparatively "fair" skin, at least in those days) had the good sense and simple decency to keep his feet on the court and look up at a 90-degree angle -- arms raised, anchorage ak car rental discount knees slightly bent, and mouth agape -- in order to provide some scale and frame the picture properly. This subservient and defeated stance is in fact what made the incident poster-worthy in the first place -- it was both glorious anchorage ak car rental discount and comical at the same time.
What Knight did was simply defend the play the best he could -- a plucky but fruitless action (or reaction, really) considering his much smaller stature. Again, great dunk -- but I still prefer anchorage ak car rental discount the old "posters."
Well, I can assure you from experience that "posterized' used to mean something different -- as described in my previous post. In that sense, Monroe is actually the "posterized" one, since he appears anchorage ak car rental discount to be "posing" for the shot. Knight was simply "victimized."
Doesn't this belong anchorage ak car rental discount in the crime section!!?!?! We just witnessed Jordan DESTROY poor Brandon Knight...LOL Brandon is having an aweful year...First the all star weekend where he got SHOOK up..now this!?!!? How much more can he take!?!?! And I blame Greg Monroe for this, why did he let his man backdoor him like that!?!? Play some defense and that type of mess won't happen!!! My poor Pistons..
No one really expects him to have a jump shot at all neighbor. He is suppose to do exactly what he did. Be a big man and get the crowd excited. And what was that point guard doing in big man territory anyway? He was asking to get disrespected! LOL
If had actually had more skills he wouldn't have dropped to the second round. When 90% of your game is within a foot of the basket and you shoot 40% from the line, that is why you are in the second round. In a couple of years, he will be a washed up never-was anchorage ak car rental discount player trying to find some time in Europe.
