He did. It's tough to see it but you can hear the ball hit the court when he dribbles.

Wow....I don't think I've seen many chin-ups higher than that....he pulled up so far that his head was above the level of the rim.

That is a T just about any way you cut it.

I have a T, as well. It appears to me the divide here depends greatly upon what our respective superviors tell us.

Wow...that was pretty high. My first instinct is that I would have left it alone. It almost appears his momentum carried his head over the rim but I don't think that's possible. He doesn't appear to hang...lets go immediately. So fast...no real showmanship other than the dunk itself...play on...but I see the point of those that vote for T being served.

Wow ...

He didn't jump that high with only his legs. He pulled himself up, in my opinion, unnecessarily, not to prevent an injury. Showoff. Technical foul.

Why call a technical on that play. If you called a technical on that play at that point in the game it tells me, that you are not use to that type of above the rim play......

That is just an every day play along the I - 95 corridor......

I think it depends how often officials see dunks in their games, too. Personally, I probably see more than some, less than others, but I didn't even blink on this one. No way I'd call a technical here.
