I'm starting to think people don't talk about Tom Chambers enough, so I'm going to. He was awesome. He played at 6-foot-10, 230 pounds. He scored 60 points against the Sonics in 1990. He averaged 18.1 points per game for his career, 27.2 in 1989-90. He's Mormon.
And he had the greatest dunk ever.
A fast break. A give-and-go with KJ. Two steps. Mark Jackson gets pretty good defensive position. Devastation.
This is one of things that's really not possible to describe. Tolstoy couldn't do it justice. Just do yourself a favor and watch the clip below. And talk to somebody about Tom Chambers.
One in the Chambers, 32 in the Clip
See C Webb talk about the dunk, which apparently some shoddily pieced together Fox Sports Net show ranked #6 all-time.
The only thing better than this dunk over four Celtics is Hubie Brown and Dick Stockton on the call. Somehow Hubie never once brings up shooting percentages. Even though it's only a 15-second clip, I find this incredible.
Nifty reverse jam in traffic against the Lakers.
Fairly insane reverse alley-oop against the Celts, lob courtesy of KJ.
And by the way, with me lacking inspiration, Mustache Monday is on sabbatical this week.

The "tom chambers" was featured in Lakers vs. Celtics, the first EA Sports team basketball game. I still remember Chambers rattling rims.
