As long as you don't compare his ability to jump.

The back downs are like the slow mesh in football: they're unique, they're incredibly effective, and for some reason, a portion of our fanbase hates them.Big fan of the backdowns because I know they piss everyone off. So when one works, it's glorious
The back down has gone out of fashion after the widespread use of the three point shot. Used to be the closer the shot, the better the shot.The back downs are like the slow mesh in football: they're unique, they're incredibly effective, and for some reason, a portion of our fanbase hates them.
For some reason, think Cam's game drives a lot of our own fans crazy, even though it's effective. It's like the slow mesh. People dismiss all things different and unorthodox, even though it helps win games. Weird to me how people want everything to be the same. Variety is the spice of life!I know it drives opposing fans crazy. Any time I've watched a Wake game with others this year, I've gotten an earful of comments about Cam's old man at the YMCA game.
But that's what scorers do. They get buckets.
I thought Laravia had an old man game... Cam takes it to another level.
Yeah. Cam has a great feel for when his defender leans to one side while getting backed down. Then Cam has a quick spin to the opposite side for a layup behind the defender's back.For some reason, think Cam's game drives a lot of our own fans crazy, even though it's effective.

I think the one he scored on was ridiculous too - he had it batted away after several pivots, then regathered the ball and hit an up-and-under.Honestly, the move that is most frustrating to me is when Carr pump fakes from 3 and then drives baseline into 2-3 bigs just waiting for him underneath the hoop. Carr is crafty and can score in there, but often times it feels like he's just going to turn it over or not be strong enough to finish.
I realize he had a great game, but he made that move at least 4 times in the 2nd half and scored once.
Have been looking for an hour and would also like to show my kids. Nothing yet.Does anyone know of a way to watch this? I’ve tried to dig it up several times over the years, and can’t find it anywhere. All I’ve come across are a couple of short clips on YouTube (just found the Skip “I’ll see you on the quad at midnight” speech - I’m not crying, you’re crying…).
Would love to find the full show, if I recall I am on camera for about 30 seconds, talking about how we ran the camp outs (pretty sure it was filmed the night before our game against UNC), and is something I would now love to see again and show my kids. Surely this has to exist in some archive somewhere?
Appleby clearly mvp of team. He’s amazing. Then Monsanto, who can be beyond amazing when he’s hot. Then Cam.Cam is a great player and glad he is on our team. honestly, he might be the most important player on the team...he does everything!
those that don't see his impact are just not looking at what he contributes (full boxscore). ffs last i checked he is our leading rebounder!
It’s ok if the back downer will kick it out to a 3 point shooter when the inside shot isn’t there. Seems to be part of the strategy with Hildreth and Carr.The back down has gone out of fashion after the widespread use of the three point shot. Used to be the closer the shot, the better the shot.
