Vince Carter, 2000
Rudy Fernandez goes behind the backboard for this dunk, as Pau Gasol exclaims, “o no you dit-ten!!”
Shawn Kemp, Reign Man
J.R. Smith in the 2009 dunk contest. He wuz robbed! By teammate Sonny Weems and his shoddy passing, but robbed nonetheless!
From 2008: Serge Ibaka throws it down at a dunk contest in Spain.
Your 2011 Dunk Contest participants:
It’s a big man jam on All-Star Weekend, with Brandon Jennings bearing the standard for dunking guards everywhere. Griffin is the clear favorite, with JaVale McGee having the most potential to go Birdman on the contest. I am very afraid that somehow, Nate Robinson is going to sneak into this contest at the last minute.
The most underrated competition dunk of all time: Gerald Green blows out the candle on his Birthday Cake.
Dude we need you. SRSLY.
Sincerely,
The Dunk Contest (slash Knicks)
The 1990 Slam Dunk Contest. The big surprise was not that Dominique Wilkins won. It’s that in a contest that included Kenny “Sky” Walker, Scottie Pippen (coached up by MJ), and Shawn Kemp the runner-up was Kenny “The Jet” Smith?
Napoleon would have commissioned a statue like this if basketball had been bigger in Europe back then. What era was Napoleon again? Jazz age?
