Dr. J’s cradle when he swooped in for the 76ers.  Jordan’s revision of the cradle.  Or MJ’s dunk on Patrick Ewing and the NY Knick frontline.  Dominique’s follow up, when he soared in torso, head, and shoulders above everyone else one the court, and cocked the rebound two feet behind his head before rocking the [...]
