Connie Hawkins posterizes Jerry Sloan, and other great Phoenix Suns dunks!

It took me awhile to find the quintessential Connie Hawkins photo. Courtesy of the Phoenix Suns archives I finally found the photo I was looking for and it's only proper that I share it with Suns' fans to be passed around and immortalized online. Behold "The Hawk" soaring like a bird of prey with talons piercing a helpless rodent. Uncredited photographer captures the pinnacle of the tomahawk throwdown without auto focus and probably without auto advance. The victim of this crime against gravity on the basketball court? None other then ex-Bull and former Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. Sloan's trademark as a player was his intense defense (6 time NBA All Defense team) and drawing a charging foul. I have a feeling he didn't get the call on this one.
