I saw this on Sportscenter while eating lunch today, but haven't seen it on here or ESPN yet...





White article

I'm happy with this, two back-to-backs this week, with the Lakers in the middle on Wednesday. I'm imagining he might see some good minutes because of the 5 games in 7 days we have coming up.

We've also released Luther Head to the Heat, this might have happened because of that also...

He's a great athlete. If he makes it in the NBA he will win the slam dunk competition every year. Check out some of his dunk videos on you tube. The guy can put the ball between his legs and dunk with both hands from a foot behind the free throw line.

He won the college dunk contest his senior year... freakish leaping ability.

James White has amazing hops and sucks ass at basketball. Adleman won't give him minutes.

He got down a between-the-legs from the line. I remember when I was still in school and my friend forwarded me the vid from Cincy's Midnight Madness. I didn't think it was humanly possible.

He should sign a 10-day the week before every All-Star weekend.

He has improved his overall game a lot since leaving Cincy. I'm just not sure he will even get to see the court during this stretch we are fixing to go on. Maybe against Memphis if we put the game out of reach in the 4th.

I'll be really surprised if he actually gets to play... but he is one of the best dunkers ever.

I honestly think that if he timed it right, he can scrape a dunk from the top of the key. I read he used to long jump in high school.

He is a guy that will be at the end of the bench for a while. If an injury or something else gets him more playing time then I think he can make it in the NBA. A lot of people think he is a tremendous athlete, so at least he has that to build on.

I hope they give him more of shot than Gerald Green.

he stole the show, but he didn't win. David Noel of UNC did as White couldn't convert the final dunk.

However, there was no contest as Flight White's dunks were absolutely disgusting. I still remember watching that dunk contest live in shock.

check out the battle with this guy in this past D-league dunk contest. These are disgusting

He also lost to David Lee in the McDonald's contest. Yes. White guy, David Lee.

I found that one of him going between the legs from the free throw line in the European dunk contest... he does it casually. You don't even realize how far out he jumps until the second or third replay.

I didn't know he was that bad...

Maybe Morey knows something we don't..

I figured he might be switching at the 2 with wafer a bit...

Actually I liked the one with the teammate in the chair. There's so much he has to worry about on that dunk and all at once. He caught the ball one handed, missed the teammate completely and threw down a beautiful dunk.

that and the between the legs off of the pass by the other kid were spectacular, better than the NBA contest for sure. It helps when the judges aren't fixing the contest though.

Has he even suited up in the last two games? He isn't listed on the box score for either of them.

10 day contracts are always interesting...i know days are different, but two of the biggest contributors to the title teams were 10 day contract guys....Mario Elie and Chucky Brown

Mario Elie was not a 10 day contract.

I thought Elie came to the Rockets in a trade with Portland?

In which round will he use his two handed free throw line dunk?

Assuming a two-round/two-dunk-per format:

Round 1

1. Windmill from the free-throw line
2. Two-handed from the free-throw line

Round 2

3. Between-the-legs from the free-throw line
4. ???
