We thought we may have seen the dunk of the year earlier in the night from Illinois' Brandon Paul, but then San Diego State's Jamaal Franklin went and did this:
Upon first viewing, it's hard to even comprehend what really takes place here. It takes watching it a few times on a loop to truly respect the fact that Franklin, 1) does this while running down the court at maximum speed; 2) throws (shoots?) the ball from the back paw of the Bulldog; and 3) actually looks off the defender to his right before letting the ball go.
Dunk of the year. I'm not listening to anyone who wants to debate that statement.
