As terrible as the Wizards have been this year, it’s hard to imagine where they’d be without Martell Webster. Webster, though only averaging about 10 points per game, has been one of Washington’s steadiest contributors. On he court, his most important quality has been his ability and willingness to do a little bit of everything, but it’s arguable that his presence has been even more crucial in the locker room, where he has become the team’s leader by all accounts. Throughout the Wizards’ struggles, Webster has helped his group maintain as positive a collective attitude as possible. Despite their 6-28 record, you may have noticed that there haven’t been any reports of severe meltdowns out of the Nation’s Capital. When you’re the Wizards, that’s something. Also, Webster has scored 37 points over his last two games — both Wiz victories — and dunked on former DC icon DeShawn Stevenson in the process.
I think a little bit of Stevenson’s swag rubbed off on Webster when the two made contact in the air. The video shows Martell flexing, but that wasn’t even the full extent of it.
Congratulations on your first win streak of the season, Wizards (or should I say Wallzards?). Honorable mention to DeMarcus Cousins.

Throwback Poster of the Day: Grant Hill dunks on everybody.
Suggestion for next season: It would be cool to have a tally of every poster nominee instead of just the daily winners. So at the end of the year we could see which player delivers the most poster dunks, in addition to the total daily winner.
Yeah, he's had some other nice ones too, but nothing absolutely off the wall. No Perkins, no Gasol, no Mozgov, no almost hitting his noggin on the rim on a lefty oop against Portland. I figure he's taking precautions or easing up a little, but it's a bummer.

The reason I don't do this is because the list would never be complete. It's impossible to see every single dunk from every single game, and even then some of the lesser dunks don't get uploaded to youtube.

For those capable of doing it well, dunking is the safest, easiest possible way to score two points in the game of basketball — a sure thing, basically. However, some dunkers are more successful than others. Derrick Williams, for instance, seems to miss about as many dunks as he makes. Why? Well, I suppose it probably says something about the nature of the dunks that he attempts. While the majority of most players’ dunk attempts are some degree of basic, Williams tends to push his personal limitations. Being that his personal limitations are only those of an otherworldly-athletic, six-foot-eight-inch NBA basketball player, the pushing of these limitations can yield the spectacular. So, while Williams may never be one of the world’s most efficient dunkers, he can be one of the most incredible. Exhibit A:
