Nasty Mount Union dunk makes it on Sportscenter Top 10

Here’s the link to watch the full Top 10

His name is Jarrett Ruffin and he can THROW DOWN. Damn. Let this dude go to All Star Weekend next year and face Zach LaVine. He can’t do any worse than that bum Plumlee.

Here’s a little dunk mix from a few years ago:

He’s also mastered the LeBron chasedown block

Also: I have a complaint. You guys know I post Mount Union stuff all the time. Why did no one send this to me earlier? Come on, we’re better than that.

Also x 2: Has anyone checked to see if the play by play guy is alive after that?

Top 10 NFL Players we’d like to see in a Dunk Contest

After Odell Beckham Jr. threw down that dunk last week on Instagram, we started to wonder what it’d be like if the NFL held their own dunk contest. So in honor of the NBA Dunk Contest this weekend and us missing football already, here are 10 players in the NFL we’d like to see in a dunk contest.

Odell Beckham Jr.

Obvious choice

NBA Equivalent: DeMar DeRozan

AJ Green

Has the frame of a shooting guard. I bet he can CRAM it. Here he is from high school dunking in a game

NBA Equivalent: Paul George

Calvin Johnson

Obviously. I mean, look at what he can do in full pads. Violent dunker.

NBA Equivalent: Shawn Kemp

Patrick Peterson

May be the most athletic guy in the NFL. 38 inch vert at the combine

NBA Equivalent: Gerald Green

Jordan Cameron

He’d have Blake Griffin as his coach and he can do this. The crowd always loves the white guy.

NBA Equivalent: Isaiah Rider

JJ Watt

So he can break the backboard and then eat all the shards of glass just because.

NBA Equivalent: Dwight Howard (both Superman)

Gronk

Because you know he’d be begging all the judges to give him a score of 6.9

NBA Equivalent: Josh Smith

Dez Bryant

Would throw up the X after every slam

NBA Equivalent: Tracy McGrady

Justin Gilbert

He dunks better than he covers.

NBA Equivalent: Steve Francis

Nasty North Olmsted dunk makes #1 on Sportscenter Top 10

Exhibit A, B, C, D, E, F, G why you NEVER try and take a charge close to the basket when a player who can dunk is coming down the lane. It’s not worth it. One second you’re thinking about all the high fives you’ll get in the huddle for taking that charge and the next second you’ve got a face full of nuts and you’re being shown all over the nation as the victim of the #1 play on Sportscenter. Them’s the breaks. You made your bed and now you have to lie in it. Memo to all aspiring ballplayers out there- Don’t be the guy that takes charges because sooner or later you’ll get your soul dunked on for the world to see.

Upset of the century that the dude who threw down that dunk was white
