Congratulations, Shannon. You are our first NBA highlight of the new (pre)season. Oh, thanks are also due to Mikki Moore, who graciously volunteered to be Brown’s dunking victim. This gives truth to the rumor about Moore being concerned with making sure we have the quality play and highlights fans so desire. People were so happy to see Brown’s dunk that, for a little while, his name became the top Twitter trend because so many people were tweeting themselves to death over the pleasure a nasty dunk provides. All things considered concerning modern communication, it’s getting harder and harder not to have some kind of electronic communication device when watching sports. Be it Twitter, forums or team blogs, fans cannot stay away from the instant reaction and gratification 21st century electronic communication provides.

The Twitter orgasm over Brown’s dunk — from a meaningless preseason game, mind you — indicates this quite nicely.
