It's not that I dnt like Blake Griffin, it's just those were not dunks, he literally is throwing the ball in the hoop no contact what so ever. I would not have him on my list.
Anyone that either Knows Basketball or has Played, knows that Blake Griffith so called "Dunk" is actually a throw down, not a true dunk. A dunk has always been considered one if A: the wrist is over the lip of the rim when the ball in slammed in; Or B: When the ball is being slammed in, the fingers must be able to grip the rim from over the top. You could have seen on the replays that his fingers barely came within sight of the rim.
Vinny Carter baby, that first monster dunk was something I think only he could do. If that game was played in New York, Vinny reached back in Jersey starting or he started in Jersey and finished it in New York.
Many people prefer the Pippen dunk on Ewing instead of the Jordan dunk over Ewing. The Jordan dunk was superior because it came in a half court set with at least 4 defenders that Jordan had to elude with Ewing being the last barricade that he overcame. Meanwhile, the Pippen dunk was a two on one break in transition, way more easy to execute in compared to breaking down a whole defense. Jordan>Pippen.
1:21 Why is LeBron who is 6'8 dunking on a 6'3 guard on this list? You got Jordan, Carter, and Bryant dunking over taller players. If you're gonna post a LeBron dunk, post one of him dunking over Duncan, Dewight Howard, Ben Wallace, Joel Embiid or anyone taller than he is.
