    Ugh…

    Actually, Travis Diener is super-strong.

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Nov.6 at 9:41 am
    Travis Diener should retire to join UFC.
    Jeff Foster should just retire.

  • Mo Charlo Posted: Nov.6 at 9:46 am
    Amare is my favorite player. Jeff Foster, maybe one day you can become a man again.

  • Eboy Posted: Nov.6 at 10:01 am
    Very believable.

  • William Posted: Nov.6 at 10:06 am
    Amare should try soccer.

    what kinda man can go crush his defender on a dunk, POSE with the swagger, then FLOP like a lil girl!? and somehow everyone hates on ginobili for flopping? that was pathetic for a 6′10 freak of nature like amare. i guess he got a fine then?

  • whooo! Posted: Nov.6 at 10:51 am
    and i mean, amare was chest thumping right after the dunk too!? when’s the last time we’ve seen ANYBODY chest thump and then crumble to the ground when a pg touched him? could you even imagine kg, lebron, or dwight falling like that?

  • mike Posted: Nov.6 at 11:03 am
    This is why I like Slam Ball. There’s no flopping in Slam Ball. Why doesn’t Slam cover Slam Ball. Maybe because Slam Ball doesn’t exist anymore. What is my point? Fans love flopping. Floppers sell out arenas.

    Bwahahahaa. That’s terrible. It’s even worse that he’s *smiling* when he’s helped up.

  • Hersey Posted: Nov.6 at 11:39 am
    That was one of the funniest moments in NBA history. Jumped out of my chair for the dunk then busted up when he dove into the sweat-mop boys. He did earn the team another point with Deiner’s tech so good work Amare. Nontraditional 3-point play.

  • Darksaber Posted: Nov.6 at 11:41 am
    that was soooo funny. The crush on foster was so hot, then he spoils his slamadamonth by taking the soccer dive. After a forearm from Diener of all people. Play after play he shook off indiana’s bigs, but supertravis flattened him? Lame moment, GREAT game for STAT.

  • what Posted: Nov.6 at 11:50 am
    Haahaahahahahahahaaha

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Nov.6 at 11:52 am
    Jeff Foster reminds me of Freddie Mercury.

  • underdog Posted: Nov.6 at 11:53 am
    Fake softy.

  • riggs Posted: Nov.6 at 11:57 am
    stat being stat. i can use that for everyone cause of manny now.

  • Diggy Posted: Nov.6 at 1:01 pm
    hilarious!

  • Gerard Himself Posted: Nov.6 at 1:13 pm
    Just because Amare wears glasses, he became a nerd now?

  • Chris Ujma Posted: Nov.6 at 1:21 pm
    thank god it was Amare on the bench, and not on court in Steve Nash’s place when Robert Horry hip-checked him. Woulda damn near killed the guy

  • tealish Posted: Nov.6 at 2:19 pm
    That was amazing. The soul-crushing dunk, the ridiculous flop. It was brilliant.

  • Tommy Patron Posted: Nov.6 at 2:36 pm
    He has no real heart. At all.

  • witness Posted: Nov.6 at 3:07 pm
    amare is gonna be on the first team this year while competing with lebron and cp3 for mvp.

  • Tommy Patron Posted: Nov.6 at 4:16 pm
    Amare’s best case career outcome will be Karl Malone.

  • Hursty Posted: Nov.6 at 5:17 pm
    He had some sweet dunks apart from that one as well. 17-21 from the floor.

  • BETCATS Posted: Nov.6 at 6:07 pm
    SLAMBALL does exsist. I saw Cheese Mike and the boys loose the championship game! Long Live Cheese Mike!

  • BETCATS Posted: Nov.6 at 6:09 pm

  • Diogo Posted: Nov.6 at 6:38 pm
    Sh*t. That was *some* dunk.

  • Sesa Posted: Nov.6 at 7:20 pm
    Funniest flop I’ve ever seen. He flopped because of the push yet he doesn’t realize that Travis Diener is the one that pushed him

  • Moose Posted: Nov.6 at 7:23 pm
    That was a monster jam. Funny flop, too.

  • davidR Posted: Nov.6 at 10:01 pm
    i dont remember antoine carr being soft?

  • bobbins Posted: Nov.7 at 12:18 am
    i think he just tripped on his feet..

  • johnnypinball Posted: Nov.7 at 12:40 am
    That was an wicked dunk. And I think it’s f*ckin’ awesome that he falls down afterwards, too. That’s just playing the game. He’s crafty like Rodman used to be, in terms of exaggerating fouls and getting the calls. The only difference is, Amare’s defensive game is as bad as Rodman’s offensive. He’s just giving his team the extra edge.
