Daily Dunk: That Guy From "Double Dribble"

We goin' back in the day for today's DD, back to when the "Contra" code was the most magical part of any adolescent boy's life and shouting "Hadouken!" whenever you did anything remotely cool was considered ... well, remotely cool.

Diehard basketball gamers will remember this from "Double Dribble" - it was one of the "detailed" sequences that popped up whenever you got close to the rim and pushed the shoot button. My favorite part has always been the "Star Wars"-like sound effect that comes after crushing the rim. Enjoy.
