A putback describes a situation where a player secures an offensive rebound then immediately scores a basket. If the player secures the rebound while in the air, to be considered a putback the player can land on the ground before shooting, but cannot dribble before taking the shot. If the player does not secure the rebound but instead taps the ball into the basket, it is considered a tip-in. There is a point where a putback and a tip-in are a matter of subjective difference (e.g., a one-handed rebound in the air followed by a score before touching the ground). A putback jam is a spectacular alternative to the tip-in where the ball is slam-dunked off the rebound in the same motion. Josh Smith and Kenyon Martin are the perfectors of the putback jam. It is also a primary source of scoring for All-Star Center Dwight Howard, who led the NBA in dunks in the 2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 season.888

You rebound the ball and put it back in the hoop. Common basketball phrase. Cortez can do this because he is not weighted down by a tattoo.

I like the way he spelled it. A not so subtle pun.

I’m a little nervous looking at P2. Gil appears on the verge of losing control and unleashing the fist of death.

To inspire the team, Gil is wearing John Travolta’s outfit from Saturday Night Fever.

P2 – Actually, it looks as though Gil is about to give one of the members of the team a knuckle sandwich.
Where in the hell is that delicious Mimi? Do I have to wait till spring to see her again?

Lini isn’t exactly a veteran who should be responsible for “carrying us home.” He had never played on a team before last year, if I remember right.

Why is Moon’s face bleeding? Did he get slashed earlier in the day at his mall security job?
