POSTERIZED: Sorry Talib, but life aint Fair

Because of Syracuse's insane depth, C.J Fair doesn't get the consistent attention he deserves.

But when he throws down dunks like this, he most certainly will.



Poor Talib Zanna. Why did he think he could stop C.J. Fair? Pitt's defense has been poor, and any Syracuse scouting report should highlight Fair's dunking ability.

The only thing that would make this dunk better is if Dickie Simpkins was on the call.

But was it as good as these?

POSTERIZED: CJ Fair gets Dickie Simpkins worked up

CJ Fair can dunk. We all should know this by now. In fact, if you take a look at his previous dunk, it's almost identical to the dunk you are about to see.

Except for one slight difference: Dickie Simpkins.

He's quickly becoming one of the most entertaining color-commentators in the game today. Now, I can't exactly understand everything he says, but boy does he sound enthused.



The dunk was good. Not as good as his first poster-dunk of the year, but it was still a worthy entry. But when you add the Dickie Simpkins-call, it makes for a memorable moment in posterization history.

POSTERIZED: C.J. Fair doesn't care about Your Ivy League Education

Syracuse had arguably their best game of the season against fellow-wannabe-Canadian province, Cornell, beating them 78-58.

Syracuse freshman C.J. Fair only had one basket, but damn was it spectacular.



Let's also give some dap to Rick Jackson for the phenomenal 50-foot bounce pass. There aren't too many things prettier than a nice long-distance bounce pass, and "Slick" Rick Jackson nailed it perfectly.

But again, holy crap, that was an amazing dunk.

As of now, it has my vote for dunk of the year.

But,
Was this as good as the rest of the dunks for 2010-2011?
