“That was my first dunk in four years, and it felt good. Hey, I've got a little bounce, a little something-something. The free throws were bigger. I just tried to take myself back home, back to my backyard by myself. You know how kids are always dreaming they're at the stripe with the game on the line? I was no different. I tried to go back there in my mind because if you think about the actual situation, you'll put too much pressure on yourself.”
Ashanti Cook
“That's probably my first dunk of the year. I was just feeling good and decided to go for it.”
Willie Kemp
“[When Syracuse's 6-foot-2 junior guard Gerry McNamara threw down his first collegiate dunk last Saturday in a game against Siena, the patrons watching the game on TV at Cosgrove's Clubhouse & Tavern in Scranton, Pa. -- many of whom may have also witnessed his two or so dunks in high school -- roared.] The place went nuts, ... You just don't expect that from him.”
Peter Cosgrove
“I heard the crowd (after the steal) and put that (dunk) pretty good.”
Charlie Coley
“The only thing it takes is for him to get a good dunk. Next year, just give him a good dunk early in the game, and he'll take you all the way through.”
Tarence Kinsey
“It (dunk) is always good for the crowd. We have been waiting on that to happen, because he (D.J. Shannon) has done it in practice a lot.”
Joe Layne
“I wanted it. I'm still waiting for that first dunk at the Garden.”
Nate Robinson
