His fucking nephew is a division 2 forward and that jumping shit runs in their family. He dunked over my homeboy with 2 hands off a steal from the dotted line EFFORTLESSLY. I was shocked. He also blocked my 6'10 center hookshot at the TOP of the shot. Not to mention he had 22pts and 12 rebs and 3 stls that game. That was crazy.

1:35 - My favorite clip. Little David Thompson wins a tip at center court and then the white gaselle with the sweet finger tip. That's some serious old school!

You're disrespecting WomenAreRamen. Try to be racist while the dude is explaining basic proven science. Genetics is disputed and exploded in the realm of athletics. You're ignorance! STFU!
