Shaq be nimble, Shaq be quick.
Blink, and there’s the Shaq Attaq.
After missing two months with a surgically repaired thumb, Shaquille O’Neal is finally back!
Josh Smith is widely considered as one of the most athletic NBA players today.
Possessing a vertical leap of 40 inches, he is one of the best shot blockers in history even though he is only 6’9″. In fact, on February 2, 2010 against the Oklahoma City Thunders, Smith became the youngest and fastest player (at 24 years old) to block 1,000 shots.
He can also jump high in the air to make slam dunks with the best of them as proven with him being crowned the 2005 NBA Slam Dunk champion.
However, his athleticism was best put into use during a game against the Orlando Magic today.
In a game against the Golden State Warriors last March 23, Amare Stoudemire threw down a monster one-handed in your face dunk against Anthony Tolliver.
Stoudemire took a pass from team mate Jason Richardson and made the NBA’s dunk of the year. Heck, it might even contend for dunk of the decade. I think this one is better than the one he gave Michael Olowokandi last December 20, 2002.

2009-10 NBA Season | Pistons’ Rodney Stuckey Collapses in Game vs the Cavs
Category: BasketballThe Cavs are slowly gnawing at the Pistons’ 9-point half-time lead and Rip Hamilton and his teammates are becoming scared of the current number one team in the NBA.
But nothing’s more scary when late in the 3rd quarter, their point guard Rodney Stuckey slowly collapses in his chair after a timeout. He remained there for 12 minutes while a heart test was administered before being taken away to a clinic in a stretcher.
At the NBA trade deadline, the New York Knicks, the Houston Rockets and the Sacramento Kings pulled off the biggest trade this 2010.
It involved disgruntled guard Tracy McGrady who found a willing taker in the New York Knicks. The Knicks will also get Sergio Rodriguez from Sacramento.
Thanks to the magic of time-lapse videography, we see how the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas magically transforms into a basketball court for the 2010 NBA All-Star Game.
