Deuce caught another body, guys

By now, even fans of Colorado men’s basketball that weren’t around in the early Tad Boyle years know who Shannon Sharpe is. Sharpe, commonly known to teammates as Deuce, spent three years on campus as a member of the Buffaloes before transferring back home to California.

While he returned to Boulder in order to finish his degree, spending last season in a managerial role with the program, Sharpe’s legacy on the court revolves around a serious, serious ability to bring Buffs fans out of their seats, all while politely inviting would-be shot blockers to please remove themselves from the field of competition immediately.

Remember this?

Well, it appears that Mr. Deuce is back at it again, this time in the Drew League, perhaps the most competitive Pro-Am basketball league in the country.

Seriously, watch it again. WATCH IT AGAIN DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!

Look, we’ve known about Deuce’s leaping ability for years. This is the video that got CU fans excited even before he stepped on campus.

Is Sharpe the best dunker in Colorado basketball history? We know he didn’t have as many in-game highlights as some, but that raw ability is insane. While we’re on the subject, we might just have to look at some of the top dunks by Buffaloes in recent memory.

Stay tuned…
