Tom Chambers Over Mark Jackson

If I were naming a band, or had to come up with a name for a chain of retail stores, or was authoring a menu at a theme restaurant with creatively named combos I would have a hard time not using "Tom Chambers Over Mark Jackson" in all circumstances. The reason is obvious but if you don't know, peep.

Sometimes a mid-air collision can cause you to fly, even if just for a second. A jumper's normal trajectory is a parabola: straight up then straight down, no hang time. Gaining the accidental mid-air boost provided by a hostile defender is my personal favorite phenomenon in life because it's closely related to magic; real magic. Instead of going up and coming straight down (as physics would demand), you find yourself stuck in the air, like you can't come down. It's a wholly (holy) unnatural thing. If the gods are feeling generous you might even climb to a height otherwise impossible. The mid-air boost is sudden and unexpected, creating an unmistakable physical sensation that tingles the brain's pleasure centers. For the most fleeting of moments it feels like flying.

just for kicks, TNT's top in game dunks. extra points for taunting.
