There's a reason Thad Matta says Sam Thompson may be the best athlete he's ever coached. The freshman has unreal athleticism, and he showcased it in Saturday night's contest at Indiana. On an inbound play, Thompson broke for the hoop, seemingly jumped out of the gym and completed the alley-oop with a vicious throwdown. You may not see a better dunk all season. Seriously. Check out the ridiculous slam now. Those replays are beautiful, aren't they?
