I dropped into the Dome today and we went through the options. Oscar is refusing to try my suggestion, which involves setting a basketball on fire in mid-air.

He could jump through a ring of fire- grab a basketball thrown to him in mid air and throw it down!!!!

Blind folded (Dee Brown '91)

Has he tried my suggestion of bouncing it off the backboard of the opposite ring, letting the ball bounce mid court, and then grabbing it at the free throw line to launch it for a 360 windmill jam??

:)

Kriss,
Dee Brown pumped his Reeboks...Cedric Ceballos was blind folded

try a couple of dunks off nba live 2005. throw it off a camera and jam it down backwards

Dee Brown held his arm in front of his face for one dunk I think.

I found an Australian site today with a history of MJ's dunk competition exploits with descriptions (mostly confusing) of his dunks and those of his competitors in each round at each All Star game. Here it is.

Dee Brown did cover his eyes as he dunked. Cheers Issac...Unlucky Kent.

And Cedric even admmited he could see through the blindfold on Inside NBA

I think Oscar should ask Brett Rainbow

I think you're on to something with that mid air fire trick dunk Isaac. All he'd have to do is douse the ball in that highly flamable stuff firebreathers use (when no one's watching), get a mouthful of said liquid (cleverly taken from a pre-arranged guzzler) and approach the hoop with a lighter tucked into the shorts. Moments before take off he can whip the lighter out and at the point of take off spray a mouthful of liquid towards the ball with the flame of the lighter between his mouth and the ball. The rest writes itself, there will be pandamonium in the crowd, people will be going crazy, the quality of the dunk is immaterial. In fact, I don't think people will care if it doesn't even go through the hoop.

I'm pretty sure that stuff burns at a low heat so there's not a massive risk of permanent scarring or disfiguration, 1st degree burns at the worst. A small price to pay to go down in the pages of history as the most outrageous and audatious dunk ever attempted.

Billo! Pure genius. I doubt that there would ever be a dunk that would be more talked about IN THE WORLD! I say do it ozzie.

By the way... in light of all the Dee Brown posts [although this will reveal my identity] i have 2 pairs of Reebok Pumps that i would glady loan Oscar for the dunk comp. 1 is Size 15 the other 16 so fit should not be a problem... Issac, give him the word ;)

Billo and BC -- my plan was to douse the ball in fluid, ensuring to hold it only in the left hand. Tuck a lighter into a wristband on the right hand. Fire it up, but hold your hand back so as not to singe yourself.

Throw the ball up so that it bounces up near the ring. Run, take off, make contact (ball ignites), hammer it home. Undertake all of this with lights dimmed for maximum effect.

Make sure the ball is extinguished before the floor burns or the contact point where it bounces catches fire.

That would win.

He has a few dunks under consideration, but Rob Brown is probably a Spud Webb type freak and it might all be a waste of time. Haha.

Here's the photo from the backpage of The Advertiser today:

He should try a lob let it bounce then a windmill jam. A foul line dunk will be handy towards the end of the comp if he gets that far.

try a 360 between the legs

Sam, where have you been for the last 7 months...under a rock???

Panther ... how did Oscar go ?

Haha. anon -- Oscar had an ankle injury and was forced to withdraw. I saw the dunks he was going to attempt at the competition and while they weren't quite at the level of Liam Rush, or as showy as Rob Brown, he wouldn't have embarrassed himself.

Old news though.

Here's a dunk that'll be sure to put your name up there with MJ and VC. It's basically this. Go up for a two foot gather, then windmill the ball under your ass while your in a sitting position, like in a chair. Then scoop the ball back up top and slam it down while your first arm's still under your ass and your second's still hanging off the ring. Finally drop down, give a quick salute to the crown and strut back to your seat like you it was all nothing. That'll get you a fifty by anyone's standards.

Can u do that T-star?
