What do you look forward to when you are a supporter of a young, rarely-winning team such as the 2008-09 Minnesota Timberwolves? You look forward to high flying dunks from young players such as Rodney Carney.

This was Carney throwing it down on the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night.

 


 

Carney isn’t exactly on everyone’s radars. Those outside of Minnesota and Philadelphia may not be experts on his career. Who is Rodney Carney?

He spent his first two seasons with the 76ers (including a stint as a starter following Allen Iverson and Chris Webber’s departures from the team) before moving to the TWolves in a trade essentially for a trade exception and cap space. The swingman stands at 6’7″ and can get up. Observe more examples of Carney’s athleticism.
