“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”

It was definitely awesome.
It reminded me a lot of this incredible slam from a KU great. I know it will bring back good memories here...
While we're on the subject of dunks, it was funny that Grant Hill was one of the announcers at the KU-UConn game...and after Selden's dunk Raftery commented that it reminded him of Grant's famous one--alas, which came against KU in the 1991 championship game:
I made the long trek to Indy that very day (to make the NC game), and watched with horror from the upper deck of the Hoosier Dome as that play unfolded. I knew as soon as Grant crushed that slam that it was not going to be KU's night.
