Did anyone notice how some of the dunks seemed to be taken loosely from NBA Live 2005? For example the second Stevey to amare one, with the kick flip thing. Even Barkley commented saying "that looks like something from an NBA video game... the games these days are amazing" or something like that.

It was Kenny Smith who said that.. Barkley hates videogames with passion.

yep i thought a lot of dunks resembled shit that came from live 2005..

- amare's reverse pump
- jr smith's dunk (sort of)
- chris andersens horrible lobs (lucky for him there was no shot clock like the real game does )
- nash's headbutt and ballflip

its not really that the dunks represented the game, its more that the game did a good job of catching realistic dunks.

But those dunks that were on Live 2005 were never seen before. The behind-the-back, the soccer flip and the header, were things that, personally, I never imagined could happen in real life.
Now if we ever see a double between the legs, then we should blame it on Live

Perhaps "Shut up and Jam" has something to do with that. :wink:

Yeah, I couldn't remember which dude said it, I just remember he said it mumbly so I figured it was Charles because the Jet is always like, yelling.

It would make sense if they took them right from Live, lots of young NBA players are avid gamers. Either way though, aside from Anderson, the dunks were sweet.

Yeah, when I saw apreview for NBA Live 2005 with all these dunks, I thought nobody is gonna make such fancy things. But it seems as Amare plays too much NBA Live 2005. These dunks were crazy, and the best and most difficult dunk that nobody has ssen befor was the behind-the-back by J.R. Smith.

JR was gipped too, I know he took three tries but a 45 was no where near enough. That dunk was tough.
