Amazing no matter how many times I look at it.

How is he such a great dunker?

Mexican jumping beans. He eats a plate before every game.

Of course there is natural ability and training but he has the muscle of a man packed into the frame of a middle schooler, that's why he can be so explosive--he is so compact that it is easy gather all that energy quickly and without wasted movement. You'll never see a 7 footer in the NBA jump as high as Nate probably because their muscle is distributed over greater distances and has to work harder in order to coordinate a jump...or at least that's my hypothesis.

nate is just a freak of nature, with super athletisim and incredible motivation and drive.

Or he has ADHD.

i think his whole game has elevated since he's been exposed to the professionalism and dedication of new teammate and seasoned veteran jerome james.

well, one thing i hope the young ones learn from JJ is what not to do in the nba. if you let yourself go, not focus on bball, you will not play.
