Thread: Why does Greg Oden always do a pullup on the rim?

He seems like such a low key guy, but he always does a show-off dunk. I don't get it.

he shows that he has power in the paint. i like when players do that especially dwight howard. as long as oden makes it look good its fine with me.

Players mainly do that for intimadation...

If you go around dunking so hard, people will think twice about going for a block.... He's not the only one that does this...I remember when Shaq used to do the same

-To make sure he doesn't land on anybodys ankle

-Also Show-off dunks, gets the home crowd energized, and sucks the energy right out of the road crowd.

As long as he gets it in it shouldn't matter but it would be better if he just dunks it to be guarantee the points.

If he pulls up too long, he could get a technical

he wears pullups so he cant just show it off it would be weird so he does that.
