If you are short and petite like me, having any one run at you would make you a little nervous.  For Kenny George it was no problem when Tyler Hansbrough came charging at him, with his “Psycho T” game face on, from center court.  George just stretched his arms straight up, which is what he usually does to block people since he is a whopping 7-foot-7.  Hansbrough’s 6-foot-10 body was able to jump over George’s arms and dunk the ball!

George was surprised since he hasn’t had anyone try to pass him like that in over 3 years.  I’m pretty sure if I was that tall I would be thinking the same thing.

Hansbrough helped his team win the game by gaining 23 points towards their 93-81 victory over North Carolina-Asheville on Wednesday Night.

Starting at the free throw line, Hansbrough charged down the left side of the lane, leaped and threw a two-handed dunk over George’s outstretched arms. The dunk — the first against George in at least three years, he said — started the Tar Heels’ game-clinching 13-4 run and sent the crowd at the Dean Smith Center into delirium.

“I saw him coming to the basket. I just kept my hands straight up,” George said. “I had him. I just forgot to jump. He jumped. I didn’t jump. I should have known than a 6-10 player as athletic as him was able to jump over my hands even if I go straight up.”
