POSTERIZED: The FranklinSlam

This past weekend was very busy, very hectic. Over 150 games were played on Saturday, and well, yesterday was SuperBowl Sunday. With all the games to watch, games to cover, and activities to participate in, there were going to be some things that slipped through the cracks.

This ridiculous reverse-put-back slam by San Diego State's Jamaal Franklin is one of those things that slipped through.



That's one helluva dunk. That's also a pretty pathetic display of weak-side box-out defense. I've heard that Franklin tend s to go by the nickname "Circus Time", and it seems like a rather appropriate name.

The Aztecs won the game 83-73 to move to 20-3 overall and 6-1 in the Mountain West Conference, one game ahead of UNLV, who they beat 69-67 at home on January 14th. The Aztecs will head to the Thomas & Mack Center this Saturday for a rematch with the Runnin' Rebels.
