I must defend King George's honor

I believe it was Wilt Chamberlain or maybe Andre the Giant, who said "Nobody loves Goliath."

That was never more true than last night at the Dean Dome, when tiny little Tyler Hansbrough dunked over 7-7 colossus Kenny Georgia and the roof practically blew off the place from the noise. It was an impressive feat, to say the least.

But, upon further review, Hansbrough did need an extra edge to pull it off. Specifically about an extra step and a half.

Check out the video here. Actually just fast forward it to the replay at :50. You'll see the step, step, then plant both feet go up technique Hansbrough uses.

I'm not knocking the effort by Psycho T. But poor George was publicly abused in front of thousands. He deserves some justice, darn it.
