Blazers.com just dropped arguably their greatest video ever: Dante Cunningham's best blocks of the year.
The Nicolas Batum version will be released on a 2 DVD boxed set.

Last one is the best.
They should have thrown in DC posterizing Amare, just for good measure.
"I just played my game. I didn't do anything special. Just take the open shot, make cuts to basket, get rebounds. That's it." ~Nic Batum
odd facts
Dante averages more blocks per 48 min than Kenyon Martin, Amare Stoudemire, and Kevin Garnett, but still ranks 111th in the league among all players, behind such defensive luminaries as Channing Frye.
However, if you rank Dante among small forwards – he would be top 10: among PF’s #36 (all players – regardless of minutes).
Beautiful
and that’s all I have to say about that.

A work in progress
Just got access to all of the NBA’s digital assets, so if there are specific videos you’d like to see (Batum blocks, player v. player possessions, Shavs best smiles from the bench) let me know. The system let’s us pick video with very specific criteria, so the possibilities are vast. Kind of like Synergy without all of the stats.
Hopefully the quality will get better as I use it more. Those cuts and angles aren’t great, but it’s my first attempt.

Brandon Roy VS. Kobe Bryant
Can you pull highlights from Brandon vs. Kobe? Not sure what parameters you could use, however I seem to remember some epic back and forth battles between Kobe and Roy late in fourth quarters.
So the video...
shows 13 (maybe 14, I couldn’t tell if he got two in one of the earlier clips) of his 19 on the year. Sure seems like he’s had more. Of active players on the roster he trails Camby, LMA, and Webster in total number of blocks but is ranked 24th in the league in blocks per 48 min. BEHIND Pendergraph and Camby! Put Oden in that mix and, well, …..
We'll miss you #2 & #25!
Doesn't it just make you feel warm and fuzzy?
Heres to hopin’ we lead the league in blocked shots next year.
Where does Batum rank? And do love the way Cunningham plays...really smart player who hustles.
GOOD JOB DANTE CUNNINGHAM!!!!!

And Greg Oden's dunks
Will be on Blu-Ray.
"My shoulder is OK. And away we go." -- Nic Batum
"wang-dang diddly wubba SPROING wow-wow" -- Dave
Batum is on the floor for almost all of these
And catches about half of them. They don’t play together THAT often, so I wonder if there’s a connection.
Connection:
Batum is French for “Being in the right place at the right time”.

Dante Cunningham
will be a major player in the NBA for years. Nice job KP.
" It was as if the Suns hatched a fiendish plot to ruin John Wayne's movie career by casting him as a cowboy." - Dave 2/10/2010
I am easily as excited about Dante
as I am about Batum.
Just you wait, he is going to be a real force in the league by this time next season.
we can still win........
Don't bring it into the Inferno
