How many dunks does Zach Randolph need to win a bet with Marc Gasol?
Zach Randolph has never been the most athletic guy on the court. The common joke is that he struggles to jump over a piece of paper. Place the whole phonebook under him and who knows how ugly things are going to get. But that doesn't mean Z-Bo is lacking in confidence.
Randolph and teammate Marc Gasol jumped on NBATV recently to talk about the Grizzlies' upcoming season and, more importantly, to make one of the greatest preseason bets in Memphis.
"Me and [Marc] was talking about it yesterday," Randolph said, via Grizzly Bear Blues. "We got a little bet...that I can get more than 10 dunks."
Ten seems to be a pretty fair number. Z-Bo threw down eight slams ("slam" being a kind term here) last year. He got to seven a couple of seasons ago. The year before that, he got all the way up to 15.
That gives Z-Bo 30 dunks over the past three years, an average of exactly 10 a season. So, who wins this bet? Is a push on the table?
