So, I was doing some Youtube video searching today, and I came across something interesting. When I mean interesting, I mean the most ludicrous thing I’ve heard in a long time. So, lets begin this 1/28/08 rant: Air Alert

After watching the Georgia Tech vs. Virginia basketball game, I decided to look up some pretty sweet dunks, or so I thought. Two words kept occurring over and over again *big suprise there, its Youtube after all*: Air Alert. This apparent program can increase your vertical jump over 12 inches, bla bla bla. In other words, all those wannabe 14 year olds who will pretty much stay 5′11 all their lives can now dunk or something. Besides the fact that in most of the videos the rim was at 9′5, not 10, or the fact that they were using 28.5 inch balls so they could palm them; concentrate on the fact that instead of playing in an actual league, or practicing every day against other people to earn them real skill (shooting + dribbling, etc) they have to do a workout video for the glory to dunk. Pathetic if you ask me….

In other words, if you can dunk, great. If you can drive the ball against two 6′ post players and make them look like retards trying to guard you, that’s even better.
