Sonny’s St John’s teams were the first teams I followed, saw him play a lot. He is one of my all time favorite Johnnies. I honestly don’t recall him being much of a dunker, took a lot of mid range jump shots and was often double teamed.
Best dunker debate
- Thread starter Larry Wright
- Start date
I'm on my hands and knees looking for the answer.
Now I know how at the academy awards when they cut to each nomination for best actor and show their faces after they announce the winner and you know most of them are putting some phony smile on wishing death on the winner then there is that 1 person you can tell was just happy to be nominatedI figured that judgement stuff would get under your skin and as usual I was correct. As opposed to this vicious personal attack upon my skin and by a moderator no less, which skin it didn't get under. Oh no, while faced I made a typo and then I git [sec] [sic] a call back from a post from several weeks ago. Good job, you're winning!
Speaking of winning!:
"A couple of years ago during the off-season [lawmanfan] created a March Madness type bracket on [redman] that pitted poster against poster in a contest relative to their rhetorical skills and basketball knowledge. Your humble narrator went out in the first round. (Which perhaps explains my bitterness.) Whereas LMF, being a modest sort, had himself losing a tough one in the [final four] to the eventual [winner]. This despite the fact that he's an alleged lawyer who can't spell judgement. As opposed to me, a dedicated Onanist not being able to spell Ursula."
Here’s to the Losers
And so another season in the books, it being early March before Selection Sunday, on which Sunday St John’s fans will anxiously await the announcement of the NIT bracket, because another SJU season…www.bigeastboards.com

Whenever I see this photo.... I just think about how we got WAXED (can that word stay Kranmars? lol) in the 2nd half...
Probably the best in-game dunk I've seen an STJ player have.
Definitely the least effective dunk in the outcome of a game in STJ history.
The Narrator: No. No, we do not.
Underrated athlete with a handful of huge dunks in our most exciting season this millennium.. Justin Brownlee. I remember two vs duke and Marquette in particular that were poster worthy.
See he's been very successful playing in the Philippines for the past several years. Even became a naturalized citizen there.

Sonny Dove had severe bad luck.
"Dove was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the fourth pick of the 1967 NBA draft ... his pro career ended when he shattered his leg in a bicycle accident ... Dove ... died at age 37 ... when the taxi he was driving skidded off a partially open bridge."
That's Old Testament cold.
Honorable Mention bad luck team:
Rob Thomas
Darryl Hill
Billy Singleton
Lenny Cooke
Bob Werdann
Best nacsent all bad luck team:
Howell Emanuel Donaldson III
Wryshede Jordan
Jack Wolfinger
Grady Reynolds
Abe Keita

DJ Kennedy with the untimeliest of injuries preventing him from capping a solid 4 year career off with a much deserved ncaa appearance deserves a mention.
He was two or three years ahead of Alcindor, so I'm pretty sure you could dunk in his time.

Well, feel free to make your own list and include him - I considered DJK and rejected him, my reasoning being that the first three ended up crippled, the fourth one ended up working at a gas station, and the fifth one was {{white}}. Whereas DJK went on to a long successful basketball career wherein he earned millions of dollars. As usual YMMV
Hey, as long as you considered him
yes. yes. yes. dunking was legal when sonny dove played for SJU.
sonny was in a dunking class by himself. why?
because you could watch games all day saturday and not see one dunk.
the talent was not there.
sonny was a 6:8: power forward. when many teams had 6;5 centers.

Missed my old boon companion.
Great post until Moses part.
Replace him with Harrison and put Jackson on top of underused with Larry Wright and that would more like it.

You thinking that Moses isn't underrated is proof that he is.
Harrison isn't underrated, except by racists, a clear tier two player. Considering his first two years Jackson is almost overrated. Larry Wright can be on the list after Andre Stanley and Phil Missere.
