Some will say that Terrance Ross was trying to show up his opponent in a game that was already well in doubt. Some will say that his failed windmill dunk was an unnecessary, look-at-me move that went comically awry. Those people couldn't possibly be more right, but what they fail to acknowledge is that - as far as missed dunks go - this particular one was pretty damn beneficial to his team. Everyone knows that the only good thing about terrible, ill-advised shots is that they generally yield long rebounds that the offense is more likely to get a hand on. You think the Toronto Raptors are getting an extra possession if Terrance Ross used two hands and his dunk try fell woefully rimside? Fuck no! Granted, if he used two hands he probably would have made a basket on a breakaway attempt in which no one was within 10-15 feet of him, but that doesn't get the people going like slamming the ball off the front of the rim like it's an XBox controller and you just lost a game of NBA2K on a half court heave. If you're going to risk missing out on two easy points then at least do so in such a fashion that it gives your teammates the ability to immediately avenge your self-indulgent blunder.
