Connie Hawkins talks about Wilt Chamberlain and Jumpin' Jackie Jackson
If you read Connie Hawkins's biography, "Foul," he tells the story how Jackie would take off on a fast break from the top of the key, and while still airborne, lower the ball to his waist, then up over his head--TWICE--and THEN slam-dunk. It was called a "double doo-berry with a cherry on top.
Regarding the Wilt story-game where Jackie blocked that shot: Connie said Wilt just glared at Jackie, but didn't say a word. And yes: the next 15 plays were dunks that bounced HIGHER than the rim after they hit the ground.
