Should it really be a highlight if Hansbrough had to take 4 steps to get around him?

Link?
He traveled.
They just showed it on Around the Horn and PTI on espn. I will see if it was youtubed.
Vince on Fredric Weis was more impressive...
Dude, it took that guy 9 seconds to run (rumble?) down the court. It doesn't surprise me that someone could quickly dribble around him; he's not quick and his reflexes aren't there. He reminded me of Chief from Kesey's "Cuckoo's Nest."
you do realize that Hansbrough traveled twice on that "dunk" right?
Did any of you guys actually watch the game? This guy didn't get any playing time in high school, and hasn't done much of anything with exercise over the past three years due to injuries. Having said that, other than that DB Hansbroughs one travel spectacular the 7'7" guy (Kenny George) made him look like a punk. UNC needs to be thankful the guy wasn't in shape and only played a bit over 20 minutes. Kenny George is an animal, he can actually catch the pass and has a pretty soft shot.

Are you SERIOUS? Were you AT THE GAME? I was, and that guy SUCKS! I repeat, SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not hard to score a decent amount of points when all you have to do is lift your hands and drop the ball in to the basket. This guy doesn't even have to jump. With a 3 inch hop this guy is well over the basket. As far as having "soft hands", I've seen him play two years in a row and he throws the ball away numerous times per game. He can't catch passes worth a shit because he's so clumsy, and often he can't even get a ball thats headed towards out-of-bounds because he's so bumbling slow. His "soft shot" is far from that as well, as the only shots this guy takes are from about 2 feet from the basket as he turns around and just shoves the ball towards the rim. Nothing soft or fluid about that kind of play. The free throw that he took last night was also hilarious, as it was no where close to being in. I don't even think he hit rim. As far as being "in shape", thats about as fit as you can be for a 7-7 frame. The guy's knees can't handle running up and down the court. And of course he made Hansbrough look like a punk, the guy has a whole foot on him and easily 100+ more pounds. He dwarfed him. Nothing you can do when you try to play the post against someone of that size, so you saying that he got owned is rather stupid. How do you think you would match up against Hansbrough down low? That would be a similar discrepancy in size such as the one he faced last night. You're done.
If George had any skills, he would already be in the NBA. He will probably get a shot with some team, and may be a good role player against other tall, fat, slow centers.(Like shaq)

Exactly. There's a reason why he plays for UNC-A and not a better team. Get off the guys nuts just because he's a freak of nature when it comes to size. And to the guy who called Hansbrough a douche bag (DB), why would you make such a statement? Psycho T has to be one of the most humble players in the NCAA. He doesn't brag on the court, always shows good sportsmanship (even when he got absolutely raped by Gerald Henderson's elbow and had to leave the game last year), and has a hell of a work ethic. Stop with the envy.
First off, Hansbrough is a total DB, there is no way around it. However the envy point is quite accurate, I'm envious of the millions he's going to earn while riding the pine on some NBA team, as well as what goes along with it, but come on guys he's as much of a tool bag as the person that thought of that nick name "Psycho T".
As far as the how I would do against Hansbroughs size down low, thank you for backing up my point. He's huge, and therefore caused trouble down low.
Long story short, Kenny George is the man, bracketbusters.

and when 10' just isn't enough..
It should also be noted the Hansbourgh used his quickness to get around him with a good five feet of space on the face up. That should not happen to a reasonably skilled player that size. Hansbourgh owned George.
Oh, and for the receord Hansbourgh is a douchebag.
Hansbrough owned the travel.
And I think I saw Kenny George do a 720 during the warmups.
The 720 dunk by the AND1 guy is sick....not sure if you can can't that as an actual 720...but still nutso.

that 5'7" white kid video is probably some of the funniest junk I've seen online. I love the green family mini-van in the background, it goes well with the music playing. That kid is definitly rocking the suburbs.
