Early Dunk of the Year Candidate

And it was still pretty bad. Still like the dunk though.

Give him some love..

This one is really sick, he took off two feet, over a seven foot giant and really, it was so sick the way he pulled it off, I don't know.. Probably not the best of all this season, but definitely gets a shoutout from me.

Another one, not nearly as good, quite weak, mainly because they blew the lead.. Unbelieveble, Vinny..

Melo's dunk on that guy.. um, you know who I'm talking about, the guy sitting behind Boozer on the Jazz, totally forgot his name right now. Either way, that dunk was really good aswell, the way he stole it, and then afterwards brought it down with power, that was really nice, too.

EDIT: Melo on Millsap, that's right.

Don't know if it's a dunk of the year candidate. But I like the dunk

It's nice, I'll definitely give it that.

Poor defense from Wade

damn anthony always gets dunkd on

The blame goes to Wade and his nonexistent defense.

At least they're knowledgeable that it's Wade's fault.

It's not the best, but I love these kind of contact dunks where the dunker just kinda stalls in mid air and gets extra hang time

Me too, this being an old school example:

Hollins' dunk is in that vein. Not the dunk of the year, but fun to watch.

Who doesn't enjoy a dunk by Tom Chambers?

Nowhere near dunk of the year, but just the fact who did it and how he did it adds some flavor to it that I like

juwan howard... damn

Chambers's and Hollins's dunks remind of one of Jordan's :

Getting that extra elevation in mid-air.

Damn, Juwan can still dunk!

I can't remember the last time Juwan Howard produced a dunk that would at least be included in a reel of memorable plays at the year's end, if not making the top ten.

Sick sick dunk. Obviously on a smaller player but the power on that was nuts.

I could see it making a few top tens.

Juwan was about an inch away from clanking that dunk off the front of the rim


This could be a dark horse for dunk of the year. It sure surprised the hell out of me when I saw it.

Didn't know Damien Wilkins had it in him.

In the genes, apparently. They mentioned his uncle Dominique, but his father Gerald certainly had his moments as well.

Dragic is the exact same size as Rose is. The thing that makes the dunk so spectacular is.. A 6'3 POINT GUARD, throws off a tomahawk off from 2 feet over someone bumping him quite hard, and on his way down, Rose hit his head on the backboard, despite ducking to not hit it. Sick, sick, sick. Some guys in RealGM say it's one of the best dunks all time and stuff like this, I don't agree though. It wasn't that awesome, but a top 5 this year, for me, no doubt.

reminds me of the dunk momentousceltic had him do in the third 2k10 trailer

sick one for sure, i didnt know he hit his head on the backboard

That's going a bit far, there's been a lot of impressive dunks over the years and the fact this one is fresh in our minds is no doubt skewering their rankings to some extent. It was awesome though.

Kid's got some hops. Wow, Dragic has been on plenty of posters lately.

Must be because the Bulls barely see something sick nowadays besides the few crazy plays from Tyrus a year, although it usually gets overshadowed by the few dumb plays he pulls off every game. Chuck, chuck, dribble, chuck.

That's probably a factor as well, but there is a tendency to label what's fresh in our minds as the Greatest ________ Ever and I think that applies here. It's not that Rose's dunk is pedestrian, it's just that there have been a lot of spectacular dunks over the years. They've been shown a lot and people have grown tired of them, while this highlight is new. In any case, I enjoyed it.

Saw that earlier, wasn't really a 360 but pretty awesome all the same. The Wolves have one ugly ass court.
