Pretty fun write up on the team dynamic with Bagwell as the hitting coach. Sounds like he does a great job of working with the younger guys but also keeping the vets on their toes, creates a fun atmosphere and tries to keep the guys from "feeling" too much. Good read.

Apologies if this has been shared/linked before. I just came across it this morning and though it was too good not to share.

The Dream Shake T-Mac over Bradley - Top 10 "Dunked On Moment" or not?

For some reason, I was stunned that McGrady's posterizing of Shawn Bradley was not included in today's ESPN "Top 10 Dunked On Moments".  I honestly assumed  that it was the #1 spot as they kept counting down through some really impressive moments, only to be disappointed when they showed me LeBron over Duncan for position numero uno. Maybe I'm letting my Rockets homerism cloud my judgement, or maybe I just expected too much from the network...but to me, T-Mac's destruction of Shawn Bradley is without question deserving of top 10 status.  

What do you guys think?  Did T-Mac get the shaft or not?  Where would you rank that moment on this list?  Does it make your top 10 at all?

Here's the ESPN-approved top 10 (sorry, too lazy to look up dates/series info):

10. Webber over Barkley (with behind the back setup move)
9. Dr. J over Walton
8. 2fer: Vince Carter over (the great) Deke and then over Zo
7. Kevin Johnson over Olajuwon - I hate this one...but have to admit it's deserving
6. Lebron over KG, 2008 playoffs  <yawn>
5. John Starks taking it to Horace Grant and MJ
4. Another 2fer: Pippen and MJ giving it to Ewing
3. Vince over a french guy....literally over the french guy
2. Kobe welcomes Dwight Howard to the league
1. LeBron abusing Timmy in San Antonio
