Why does Greg Oden have to exxagerate every dunk he does? I find it annoying.?

Is it me but doesn't all the kicking of the legs and hanging on the rim on every dunk a little unnecessary. I mean it's a dunk you got 5'8 guys dunking. Dunks aren't really that special and most times in last night game it was when his team wasn't really close.

    That's all the flash his game is got. I agree, my lord that chin up crap isn't necessary and makes him look uncoordinated. Woo Hoo, look at me, I'm 7 feet tall and can do a chin up when i dunk. Would be nice to see some aggressive offensive moves B4 the basket..then i might be impressed.

    If I could dunk, I'd put as much drama in it as possible. Give the guy a break. He's a great basketball player. And you better get used to it or either not watch the games of the NBA team he will play for. It's probably just a habit he got into.

    Greg Oden is a bad a$$ dunker. When he does that he makes the dunks look cooler and he put emphasis on the dunk

    He's throwin it down with authority, if you go up soft you're gonna get blocked. You can't blame him 4 celebrating that- he just worked hard enought to get an uncontested dunk, hes gonna show off. Who wouldn't

    yeah, i was just waiting for him to kick someone in the head and get T'd up OR him slip off the rim and land on his back (ow..).

    just slam it with authority and then let go of the rim.. his body is worth too much $$ to fling it around carelessly..

    nowhere near as annoying as cory brewer and joakim noah. Those two are so annoying, noah is just the ugliest guy ever and biggest spaz ever, and he is WAY overrated (he is terrible just look at the side spin free throws). As for Brewer, he is annoying in his attitude and the way he plays but at least he is good.
