Yeah, but he’s _Dr. J_. Saying his dunks were awesome is like saying you get a pretty good steak at Peter Luger’s. Now [this is my favorite dunk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIlwUgdp3BM). Yeah, I’m a Knicks fan, that goes without saying… But I still can’t believe this one. John Starks, a guy who came out of nowhere 2 seasons earlier, freezes BJ Armstrong with a head fake towards the lane, then goes baseline for a dunk over Horace Grant AND Michael Jordan. That… does not… happen! ---

I note a lack of auto-racing highlights so far so I’ll add: [Mansell passing Berger](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2g1yrGputA) (alas, only for 2nd place) on the outside of the Peraltada in Mexico City. Last 7 laps of the CART [2000 Michigan 500](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZQZ6MjtGPQ), Juan Montoya vs. Michael Andretti. 220 mph. No quarter taken, none given. ---
