Had Blake Griffin done that instead of Gerald Green everyone would be freaking out and everyone would be saying "Best Dunk Ever! Best Dunk Ever!"
That's what they did when the play over Kendrick Perkins went viral.
"OH MY GOODNESS! THAT WAS THE BEST DUNK EVER!!!"
First of all, how can it be the best dunk ever when its a repeat (last year on Mozgov)?
Second, it was an unbelievable athletic achievement but it wasn't even a dunk. He just threw the ball through the cylinder. How's that a dunk?
"Because it meets the eye test?"
How subjective is that.
A dunk is when you rise up, throw it down and bend the rim down.
Throwing it through the net is well...throwing it through the net.
This dunk and LeBron's dunk over John Lucas are the 2 best dunks of the year so far.
I don´t know, I´m not that excited. You know I saw it and said "WOW" but I didn´t jump out of my chair like after Blake´s dunk over Perkins. That is the dunk of the year imo!
It was a hell of a dunk, don´t get me wrong. The thing is I might have seen those dunks too much. In this case Youtube is a *****.
Oh and Gerald Green actually WON the Slamdunk Contest in 2007!
