Marcin Gortat Wasn't Born as the Polish Dr. J

Matt Watson brought you the thrilling account of Marcin Gortat's flight which has earned him the nickname "The Polish Dr. J." After a recent Magic practice, Gortat dunked from the free throw line ... twice, much to the shock and dismay of teammate Mickael Pietrus.

The reporter who broke the Dr. G story, Kyle Hightower of the Orlando Sentinel today offers a less stellar moment in Gortat dunking lore. The following highlight comes from the 2004 German league All-Star Game dunk contest, according to Hightower. Heeeeeere's Gortat.



Once this gets around the Orlando locker room, Gortat's reign atop the Magic Swag Rankings will end. The only counter, Marcin? Break out the Dr. J during a game!
