Last night, during Virgina’s win over NC State, Mustapha Farrakhan gave us one of those dunks that simply resonates. Now, there are a large number of plays across the sporting universe that qualify as “facing” your opponent. A receiver busting a defensive’s back’s ass for a crucial touchdown, a running back trucking a safety, a home run blast following a brush-back pitch, a one-punch knockout. Any and all of these kinds of plays are acceptable.

However, there’s something almost sublime about dunking the ball in somebody’s face.  It’s like combining a “how dare you” action with a ” back the **** up” response, and if done correctly — ala Mustapha Farrakhan — then it’s downright memorable.As indicated, Farrakhan dunked on the Wolfpack’s Javier Gonzalez so ruthlessly, they could almost press terroristic threatening charges.

Speaking of charges, I’m honestly surprised Farrakhan didn’t get a technical foul for getting in Gonzalez’ face after the dunk. In today’s college basketball world, it was certainly a technical-worthy action.

For his part in the Cavaliers win, Farrakhan finished with 11 points and the dunk of a lifetime. Not a bad night at all.
