i thought this one was pretty nice...

All were nice, but the reverse dunk by Griffin would have to be my favourite out of those three.

yea, throw it in reverse big fella. I didnt see that coming.

although i liked the reverse better, i did also like the one airberlin posted. it was almost a superman dunk, a nice happy medium between a superman and a regular dunk. love the sound it made when he dunked it... sounded like a video game.

We all knew Blake was a thunderous dunker when he first came to the league, but with this much of impact? Definitely worth a wait... We waited 1 year to see this kid in action and it's nothing short of spectacular. For the first time in my life, I have been clicking on every Clippers highlights each night.

ROY and a dunk contest winner by default. Second won't even come close.

Yeah, I'd give the nod to Chandler out of those two.

Second JR one was sick.

And I know you posted the Nate one because of the rim hanging, but I remember there was a big discussion here about doing that kinda alley-oop with a big lead.

Good stuff all around. A couple of others from yesterday:

I like Dwight's dunk. Could have been +1 too. Dwight owned taller but weaker Hibbert. Classic...

Also from Jao's post, Nate's dunk was sick. Perfect set up + finish.

Rudy, Gay, Superman, Dunk....yessir

Even though I still don't feel entirely right about an attempt being called a dunk if the player doesn't touch the rim, much like Griffin over Mozgov that was an awesome play whatever you want to call it.

Ridiculous 3/4 court alley-oop from Foye to Griffin:

Two more from Griffin, plus the aforementioned alley-oop:

Ronnie Brewer over Josh McRoberts:

I would not be so nit-picky about what to call it, but apart from the labelling I find those plays just awesome. It has the authority of a normal dunk and the "ohh ahh - effect" of an artistic play because the guys pulling it off is pretty far away from the rim and you don't expect a proper finish in that position.

I love it

I've already gone into my position on that in depth so I won't get too off-topic with it again, but I completely agree that it looks cool, even if I rate dunks where players grab onto the rim and leave the board swaying and shaking a little higher.

Brewer on McRoberts was nasty. Stacey King's call was awesome as usual.
