So on Dec. 15, Stan shot me an e-mail on SI's sports of the decade articles.
in about 15 minutes, I did this quick one on college basketball.

Best Dunker might just be Hakim Warrickhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cWtw8DWFGg
Best Single Season for a Team: Damn, that 2002-2003 Syracuse Orangemen squad was Bad.Ass. They were unranked in the beginning of the season! Then topped the Big East in the regular season and swept thru four Big 12 teams in the tournament (Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Texas and Kansas for the championship). They had one senior and their two scorers were freshmen.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002%E2%80%9303_Syracuse_Orangemen_basketball_team
