#POSTERIZED: Meet me at the rim, Mr. Gibbs

If you know anything about us, it's that we are huge fans of Creighton senior Grant Gibbs. The 6-foot-5 guard is one of the funniest guys in college hoops, one of the best follows on Twitter (@DoubleGfor3), and is one of the best high-post entry passers in the country.

Full disclosure: Grant Gibbs is not a great dunker. In fact, he wouldn't even be on the radar for a Top-50 best dunkers in the country list. Hell, he probably wouldn't even sniff a top-100 list.

That's no knock on Gibbs. He's just not a great dunker. Now if we're talking pure distributors and offensive game-managers, he's right up there. He's averaging 6.6apg to just 0.7tpg. He's going to out-scrap just about anyone in the country, and does a little big of everything.

But again, dunking just isn't his thing. Or so we thought.


This is certainly not one of the best dunks you will see this season, but if Gran Gibbs throws down a dunk, you can be sure that we are going to be all over it.

But was it as good as these:
Victor Oladipo - Indiana vs. Central Connecticut State, 12/8
Travis Releford - Kansas vs. Colorado, 12/8
Archie Goodwin - Kentucky vs. Portland, 12/8
Rodney Williams, Minnesota vs. Florida State, 11/27
Week In Review - Feast Week, 11/18 - 11/25
Tarik Black - Memphis vs. Minnesota, 11/23
Ben McLemore - Kansas vs. Washington State - 11/20
Andre Roberson - Colorado vs. Murray State, 11/18
Doug Anderson - Detroit vs. Drake, 11/17

#POSTERIZED: Victor Oladipo sends it in

What you are about to see is the clubhouse leader for Division-I Dunk of the Year. Indiana's Victor Oladipo is morphing into one of the premier "Human Highlight reels" in the country this season and it showed against Central Connecticut State last night.



If you can throw down a dunk like this, you deserve to have our name chanted by the entire arena.

Dunk of the Year?

As of 12/9/12, I certainly think so.

But was it as good as these:
Travis Releford - Kansas vs. Colorado, 12/8
Archie Goodwin - Kentucky vs. Portland, 12/8
Rodney Williams, Minnesota vs. Florida State, 11/27
Week In Review - Feast Week, 11/18 - 11/25
Tarik Black - Memphis vs. Minnesota, 11/23

#POSTERIZED: Travis Releford doesn't take no flack from no one

Travis Releford is a fifth year senior who has been through it all at Kansas. As one f the team's primary leaders it's Releford's job to teach the young bucks (Ben McLemore, Jamari Traylor and Naadir Tharpe) how to get it done on a consistent basis.

This is how you get it done:



I do have to point out that Releford got away with one here at the end. He should have been called for a technical foul. I've seen guys get T'd up for far far less, it was rather quite bizarre to see Releford get away with so much "mean mugging".

Here's the thing. I don't like the rule. I think you should be able to stare the poor fool down until you decide to stop. If you bang on 'em, you should be able to flex on 'em as well.

But was it as good as these:
Archie Goodwin - Kentucky vs. Portland, 12/8/12
Rodney Williams, Minnesota vs. Florida State, 11/27
Week In Review - Feast Week, 11/18 - 11/25
Tarik Black - Memphis vs. Minnesota, 11/23

POSTERIZED: Archie Goodwin Pilots over Portland

Kentucky freshman Archie Goodwin is really starting to emerge as the high profile scoring option for the Wildcats early on in the season. Many pundits draw the comparison to Tyreke Evans, one of John Calipari's dynamic guard at Memphis.

But to compare Goodwin to Evans in terms of #POSTERIZED-worthy skills would be unjust, because Goodwin is on a totally different level.



This isn't Goodwin's first #POSTERIZED rodeo. While his dunk against Lafayette didn't count for two points, ball don't lie.

A #POSTERIZED is still a #POSTERIZED even if a charge is called.

But was it as good as these:
Rodney Williams, Minnesota vs. Florida State, 11/27
Week In Review - Feast Week, 11/18 - 11/25
Tarik Black - Memphis vs. Minnesota, 11/23
