NBA Throwback Thursday: Kevin Johnson dunks over Hakeem Olajuwon

Hakeem Olajuwon, who has more blocks than anyone else in nba history, gets posterized by Kevin Johnson in game 4 of 1994's western conference semi-finals. You gotta do something special to dunk with the greatest shot blocker ever guarding the paint and Johnson did just that going up high and finishing with the hoop and the harm. Extra credit for hitting the free throw. 

NBA Throwback Thursday: 7'7 Manute Bol 6 three's in a half

Looking like a character pulled from a Tim Burton movie, Manute Bol standing rather towering at 7'7 wasn't exactly known throughout the league for his long range shot. But things happened. Charles Barkley and the Suns were up 72-55 at the half and things looked bleak for the 76ers that is until Manute Bol started draining three pointers and at least allowed Philadelphia to lose with some style. Even Barkley was into it giving Bol a high five after making his 6th three pointer. Manute finished the game shooting 6-12 from beyond the arc which gave him the record for most 3 pointers in a half by any Philadelphia 76er.  Was this complete luck? Considering Bol made only 43-205 of his three pointers during his career it seems so but the tape don't lie, he made them. It was baller time for Manute.
