"Wow, what a spectacular dunk! And one for the free throw, the referee called a defensive foul on Kenyon Martin!"
ABC's commentator Brad Nessler exclaimed, "Considering the conflict between Frye and Kenyon, the impact of this dunk might be even greater than we imagine!"
Meanwhile, Nessler's partner Bill Walton performed steadily: "In this moment, Frye has surpassed Julius Erving in 1977, becoming the greatest dunker of all time!"
Hyperbolic commentary was Walton's trademark, and while people were once surprised by this excessively impassioned style, they have now grown accustomed to it.
If Walton said that Fei's dunk was the dunk of history, then it was the dunk of history. If you wanted to argue, Walton had his response prepared. Didn't you see the phrase "in this moment"? He could freely define how long "this moment" would last.
Fei stepped to the free-throw line and scored the additional point.
5 to 5
Kenyon Martin's momentum was severely undercut.
