i thought this one was pretty nice...

[Andrew]

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

[JaoSming]

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

[[Q]]

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.

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.

[Andrew]

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.

[JaoSming]

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

[deihatein]

[Mandich]

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

[Andrew]

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.

[Martti.]

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