Awesome dunk contest

Split legged dunk (a la NBA Jam) did not get enough props

My favourites are the 540(-ish) dunk, and the windmill honey dip; something we don't see that often, and something that's combining a couple of ideas we've seen before to create something a bit different.

The backflip-then-dunk was kind of cool, impressive athleticism and all that, but the dunk itself was fairly mundane. We've seen a couple of dunks like that in the NBA contest - Corey Maggete in 2001 comes to mind - and I always feel that they shouldn't get a perfect score on principle, because while there's great athleticism and some creativity...well, it's a dunk contest. The slam itself has to be a bit more creative. Backflip then spring up again for a windmill or between-the-legs from a standing start? That's edging closer to a perfect score.

If only NBA players weren't too lazy to perform these kind of dunks

That 360 between the legs and the 360s off the lob off the side of the backboard were awesome.

I think the dunk at 0:44 was better.

Great dunks.
