Anything wrong with this picture?
February 15th, 2005 | by john |Anyone see anything wrong with this picture? Yes yes… Isma’il Muhammad is doing his thing by dunking but there’s something much grander going on in this picture:
What’s wrong with this picture?
Wait, maybe you can’t see what’s going on… here’s a wider shot:
Yes, Ish is dunking over a defender.
Yes, Georgia Tech #2 Isma’il Muhammad showed some ultra-hops during the NC State game by dunking over a defender. This is no joke, my friends… not a doctered photo here. Sort of like how Vince Carter flew over a defender in the Olympics. You don’t see many of these dunks during an actual game, you might’ve seen them during dunk contests but that’s planning ahead of time. Look at the first picture again and you’ll see what… well, WHO is below Isma’il.
Ish is a showstopper.
(Well, too bad we lost the game…)
I think it has to be said that Georgia Tech has become the most disappointing team in the NCAA. At one point, we were ranked #3 in the polls… now, our team will have to play flawlessly in order to make it to the NCAA tournament. All GT fans were sort of pointing at BJ Elder’s injury as the reason for all the losses we’ve had – this is rightfully so considering we started losing games after BJ was injured.
I don’t think it was BJ’s not being able to play that caused Tech to lose games we should have won… I think it was Tech’s attempt to fill in the hole BJ left (attempting to stabilize) PLUS Tech’s inconsistency that we saw last year during the ACC play. Tech’s basketball team was never consistent… even last year. You’ll see us blazing a ranked opponent and a few days later, get burned by an unranked team.
This was one of the reasons why GT’s road to the National Championship game was so much of a shocker to everyone.
I was disappointed in Tech’s losses… but I believe Tech will jump out of this hole and make a difference in both the ACC and the NCAA tournament.
