DMN Blog: Martellus Bennett's Hops

[Bleu Star]

It's funny seeing Adam out of his comfort zone and getting owned. I'm so used to his incredible stat prowess owning lesser humans in threads.

LOL..I think when it comes to something that doesn't involve stats to back up his arguments, it gets ugly for Adam.

Ummm his elbow is at the rim..there's no optical illusion there. Martellus is probably 8"10 with his arms straight up..looks like he's at least 2 feet off the ground..the rim is 10 feet. Do the math.

Hes got a 34 inch vert, so two feet is probably a little conservative.

 

[Disturbed]

Dude can jump but it looks like he's playing against Danny DeVito.

Actually he whiffed on the block while playing the midget league....and then crashed into the players...

I know..I was just using the "at least" to cover all my bases.

Quick, send this photo to Garrett. He doesn't know you can isolate Bennett 1 on 1 down in the redzone for a jump ball.

That white boy never stood a chance.

I agree, but I wonder if that sentence would fly if the word was "black" instead of "white" and the roles in the pic were reversed.
I'm not offended at all by it, but I'm sure some would be if the roles were reversed.

I just screwed up the fun of this thread, didn't I? Sorry about that.

They do need to get this guy the ball in the red zone...

There's no way the roles in the picture could be reversed. A black guy getting his shot blocked by a white guy? Come on, let's stick to reality and not get lost in fanciful hypotheticals.

I saw that one comin' . You're right. Next thing you know I'll start thinking that there are white guys that can dunk or even play in the NBA. I need to stop drinking...

This thread is going downhill fast.

Are you sure that you're not thinking about slam ball?

 

[BIGDen]

That was quick Bleu! Do you have that pic saved? Is that your wallpaper?
Wait a minute. Silly me. Your wallpaper has got a certain popcorn-eatin' someone in it doesn't it?
On a serious note, are you still on his payroll or did that financial agreement dissolve after his relocation to Siberia...err..uhh.. Buffalo.

I don't even know what slam ball is, but how funny would it be if that guy got rejected by the rim after puttin' on that "angry man" face?!

Google is my friend man. Once TO relocated all financial ties with him were severed. However, I do wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.

Oh man slam ball, now that brings back (terrible) memories.

 

[BLT]

looks like the rim isnt 10 feet to me.

Ummm his elbow is at the rim..there's no optical illusion there.

It would depend on how far he is from the rim. Like I said, if he's out away from the rim, then yes, it would be an optical illusion.

Look at this photo, is it two 7-footers above the rim, or is it two guards at the 3-point line?

Mario Chalmers, of course, is a 6-1 guard, and he was shooting a 3-pointer. But his hand looks like it's near the top of the square because of the camera angle.

Martellus is probably 8"10 with his arms straight up..looks like he's at least 2 feet off the ground..the rim is 10 feet. Do the math.

I'm not saying Bennett can't get above the rim -- he's 6-6 and has a 34-inch vertical. I just think the effect could be exaggerated because of the camera angle.

Enjoy, my friend.
