Nashional Pastime

Steve Nash is probably the best point guard of our generation ... for me to dunk on. I've watched basically every Hawks game this year, and this has to be the dunk of the year:



I assumed that Smith's dunk was the most ferocious Nash had ever endured, but Atlanta Hawks shooting consultant, Mark Price, was quick to argue that his former teammate Ricky Davis' dunk was superior:



Obviously, that's no way to treat a two-time MVP, but, manners aside, I think it's pretty clear that Josh Smith's dunk is superior. He shows an utter disregard for Nash's presence, while Davis acknowledges Nash and steps on his chest. Sure, the step adds dramatic effect, but you can't penalize Smith for not needing a boost.

Kobe is pretty good too:

I've mentioned this to a couple people, but I highly recommend watching the Basketball Jones videos (they're on BDL, too). They changed to a video format awhile ago, and they're great. It's like 20min each, and it's better than any NBA show on TV.
