    I know this was already posted in another thread, but I felt it deserves its own place. Absolutely disgusting.

    This one and the Griffin dunk on Ibaka may be the 2 best dunks I have ever see.

    It's a nice dunk, but the fact that he acts like an idiot after the dunk takes a little away from it.

    half of Griffin's dunks have been better. Lebron's alley oops also are more spectacular.

    It just doesn't have the WOW factor of a Griffin dunk, but nonetheless.. It's just as good as one.

    Hmmm ....maybe I appreciate it more than others. Ibaka was in prime position (if you look, he was actually higher than Smith) to stuff Smith at the rim. Smith goes up for the 2-hander, hangs, adjusts and throws it down with his left hand around Ibaka. Plus, he does it with some serious authority.

    Amazing athleticism/power IMO.

    his post dunk reaction was more impressive than the dunk.
    Chandler bangs tea bag dunk was way better than that imho.

    **layup.


    Same as the McGee one above!



    Might just be oldschool of me, but I kind of like a "dunk" to actually involve contact with the ring!
    There's nothing wrong with spectacular layups - but a dunk is where you flush it and do some ring wrecking!
