Corey Maggette Duke Basketball High Fives the Backboard

[ATrain32HotSauce]

tee hee at 0:42 ?

[jwbail02]

Was Maggette the first to smack the backboard on a big stage? He's the first cat I'd ever seen do it, then a bunch of people seemed to follow suit. Nasty, though.

[MaxPower203]

Uh, thats EXACTLY how you finish an excellent play

[Swove2204]

It's funny, because I think a chin-up and a slap on the window is exactly how you should end a spectacular play.

[Ferretblte]

According to SLAM this was Elton Brand's idea of a joke on the freshman. It was slamadamonth way back when

[JZ2001JC]

For some reason I saw a highlight clip of this dunk with this song playing in the background: watch?v=-CL89fxfGZI

[whatifhesgotapointed]

I will always hate Duke, (and Corey Maggette for that matter) but this is easily one of my favorite dunks of all time. Glad it finally made it to YouTube

[Slamwoo93]

Coach K look the same way when he was born as he does now...he finds aging repulsive

[125modenasdinamik]

he slapped the window after a monster dunk....so what?? did he insulted the crowd?NO..did he insulted or hurted any off the felow athletes?NO..I think is stupid to charge a player because he slapped the backboard......

[ldc62]

fuck that. I'd do that 100 times out of 100 times. Technicals are meant to be given.

[verbalhigh]

lol I don't even like dook and I can see Karl Hess was an annoying prick even back then.

[MadSkillsJohn]

the one game i never hope happens again im a huge duke and gator fan

[ldc62]

@MadSkillsJohn wtf 2 teams.

[ThaGenius101]

This was the best college basketball team of all time, even though they didn't win the championship that season.

[upinya25]

@ThaGenius101 they were good but thats a stretch..i can name 2 or 3 better teams

[kitchenman345]

that dunk was to wake up Florida.

Really sick dunk tho.

[ShabazzTheGreat19]

Duke fans are fags

[Summerskool]

listen to Elmore! still a little punk-bitch even 12 years ago! haha..it must suck to be so obsessed with Duke. You're wack Len! And as ugly as the entire Maryland student body. And ESPN can suck my ball sack.

[YkkOnUrZipper]

champions or not, this was still the best Duke team ever...swept the entire ACC in the reg season and tournament

[jmiller8563]

That's how Len Elmore is. He is blunt and telling it like it is. He's the shit actually.

[jojozbludevilz]

@jmiller8563 Len Elmore is the shit? WOW, are you serious? Dude's a complete douche. Fuck Elmore.

[jpogrady23]

FYI, Len Elmore hates Duke. He balled at Maryland I Think.

[jojozbludevilz]

God, Maggette was a BEAST. It would have been great if he could have stuck around for one more year.

[jeffmcmahon10]

Thanks for putting this up... I had been looking for this dunk for years, and saw Maggette at a club and told him this was the baddest dunk I had ever seen.

[king8231]

wow at :28 is a young Udonis Haslem before the braids

[d2thh725]

cheering corey in the back

[MrDukeblue3]

elmore is a duke hater. maggette was sick that 1 year he was there!! could have been the best player ever if he had stayed 3.

[nateoak10]

damn he used to be s quick.. and he had hair

[dsparks0014]

Yeah brand told maggette that a uf player had put the hand print there during warmups so he was wiping it off...beastly team that yr

[AjayBaskauskas]

I remember having a poster of this dunk from slam magazine. a frame by frame picture of the play. there was a short story with it too. Elton brand put a handprint on the backboard before practice the day of the game, asked corey who put it there, and tricked the freshman into hitting it that spot during the game. Elton: 1, Corey: 0

[meowmixforever]

hahahahahahahahaha

[southbeachhoopcoach]

i remember he did same thing at carolina game

[J1ONE1A]

Haha, just found this! Love Maggette!

[rule12b6]

My favorite Maggette clip of all time. Would be awesome if you have any of the blocks where he comes up from behind a player on a 1-on-0 fast break....or his 1-on-1 spin move and dunk on Jason Capel.

[a6m13n4]

i see Duke sweeping Carolina this year

[Gnomestone]

Maggette is sick. One of the best Duke teams ever. Wish they would've won the national championship that year.

[thsnts]

i don't care what happened at the end of that year, that was my favorite duke team of all time. def the most explosive. william avery was like 8/8 from the 3-point line in the first half that game. i thought he was going to make some noise at the next level.

[SFFOOL76]

@thsnts

Im not a Duke fan, however I think that 1998-1999 Team was Coach K's best Duke Team pound for pound. Id put them up against the great teams of all time.

[jamariomenesmith]

he came from my high school. go fenwick lol!

[bjkwpj]

Lets go friars!

[jojozbludevilz]

I had forgotten all about that. Thanks for posting.

[Sivartrenrag]

someone needs to tell len elmore to shut the fuck up

[dreamtheatersg18]

maggette was soooo good

[jamariomenesmith]

he still is

[dreamtheatersg18]

yeah i meant that haha

[dukeblueforever]

Elmore just sounds jealous

[mstrkg2u]

@dukeblueforever He went to maryland, and was defeated by that great NC State team in 1974. He is very jealous. DUKEBLUEFOREVER!!!!!
