Larry O'Bannon: still cooler than everyone you know

by Mike Rutherford on May 3, 2010 10:45 AM EDT in Basketball

It's the Monday after Derby and everyone is at least a little tired, sick or depressed; we need Israeli Larry O'Bannon highlights more than we've ever needed Israeli Larry O'Bannon highlights before.

Love the reaction from the kids under the basket

after the windmill jam by “Larri” around the 1:05 mark.

I know exactly how you feel guys… takes me back to “Larri’s” amazing run to earn Regional MVP honors in the ’05 NCAA Tourney.

solid, but

i wish whoever compiled the video didnt put repeats of highlights (eg the windmill dunk with the kid oozing envy and the shot from 3 at the 45)

who else misses that three-point shot?

I always thought Larry and Taquan would both catch on for at least a little while in the NBA.

Both have some weaknesses, but both also have a ton of offensive skill. So it goes.

I thought Dean had a chance

until his senior injury year. I think the problem is that both of them were too slow to translate at the NBA level. At least Larry is making money doing what he’s good at.

Did Larry

go back to high school? Public high school gyms look better than the one in the background. On the other side of the wall they’re having a “Made for TV” expo.

Any comment posted on Card Chronicle that slanders Larry O’Bannon, his team, the gymnasium or league he competes in, his highlight videos, his Twitter feed or anything related to his existence will be considered blasphemous and grounds for severe heckling by members of the Card Chronicle staff and fellow members.
