Free Throw Line Dunks | Sport Science | ESPN Archives 

NBA Reel MJ's foot was way on the line tho but Ibaka's was perfect. Ask Reggie miller.

Hassan Whiteside Headband people forget that it pisses me off because he really did it

Watch James whites windmill free throw line dunk he does it from 3-4 inches behind the line

People forget Mime Conley Sr's as well.... legit behind the line.

Yeah I've seen it not as impressive as james whites tho and it was the european free throw line that is 3 cm or 1 inch further back

pippen has too

You also can't forget about Brent Barry's free throw line dunk

Jordan did a full behind-the-line dunk in the ‘85 contest (they show a brief clip of it in this vid).

Well if he has the same height as the rest who tried it then maybe he’ll get some recognition.

Ibaka .. you dumb

Irfan Bakti ikr

His was actually behind it

do not lie, all he does is shoot 3s

Reuben Ahmed look it up

facts

Because MJ free throw dunk was the most graceful/finesse. Serge ibaka free throw dunk is ugly and unwatchable, that is why nobody remembers it. Lol.

Chris Williams Your reply is the stupidest thing I’ve read all day

Chris Williams Well I’m gay so I’ll take that as a compliment my guy

Not a windmill though

He touch a little

Yes

He’s the only one who didn’t travel

Thats the dumbest arguement ever. So none of vcs dunks were legit just because he never dribbled?

angle

No

Power is actually measured in Newton meters per second. It's a lot easier to just say Watts.

I think Aaron Gordon is *precisely* why Lavine is "underappreciated". (I don't think so; he's got a good amount of hype and respect.) Those cheering chants about Gordon getting his Dunk Contest win robbed (FOR SURE happened in 2020) puts a bit of distaste on Lavine's '16 run. Now, if we're talking about Lavine dunking in season games, just look at the roster of the Bulls. They ALL playing and dunkin quite well

true but lavine is barely running when he does most of his, if he had a dr j like runup he’d get it

Nick Leavitt hahahahhahaha

Nick Leavitt lol

Ok

Lmao

JAMES FRICKIN FLIGHT WHITE IS THE BEST EVER FROM THE FREETHROWLINE LOOK HIM UP. MJ nowhere close to him from there

Pippen did a better dunk

JClarkJumper tore his ACL a couple years back and is jumping higher than ever about 50 inches

You talking about a guy that all he does is basicaly dunking zach lavine is a basktball player, he is not gonna recover and be like: "oh yeah I need to be able to windmill from the freethrow line again", most nba players when they torn their acl's they usualy lose some of their hops for good just because dunking is not that important really, I mean, the guy had a 44' vertical, already won 2 dunk contests, I'm pretty sure he cares more about improving his overall game now than flashy dunks, I bet he gonna come back like blake griffin or d-rose, both who can still dunk hard, but choose not to most of the times.

oh yeah? tell me about jabari parker.... most explosive big man after tearing his acl

You talking like I said that these guys get crippled in a wheelchair for life after an ACL injury, I said they lose some hops, that's it, like, Lavine may comeback with a 42" vert, he'll still be an amazing dunker, but some of it goes away usualy, is that difference of looking down on the rim and looking at eye level, guys are still able to do amazing things at eye level.

You have a way stronger acl after you tear it because of the graph they choose to apply derrick rose's acl is stronger after he tore his acl but he's just scared now

Ivan Solis Brent needs the recognition he deserves

Jordan have to dribble the ball cause he can't palm it!! Dr. Js dunk while looked more simple was actually the hardest giving the fact that he was running full speed while palming the ball and didn't cuff it like Jordan or handle it with both hands like the other guy!!

@@jsmith469 Jordan cannot palm the basketball.....under what rock have you been living???? 😂🤣😂 One of the things Jordan is known for is palming the ball...watch the videos when he fakes out other players. You clearly have no freakin idea what you are talking about 🤣🤣🤣

@@guillermo5971 not off the dribble!!!! Yeah, he can hold the ball in his hand and extend it......i can do that!! I've never seen him palm the ball off the dribble without touching it with both hands. In fact, Jordan usually cuff the ball!

Chris Williams in all sports huh? The guy couldn't play baseball for shit when he tried so wtf are you talking about. Speaking of low i.q how is your reading comprehension skills there buddy. I didn't say Levine was a better player. I said they are better athletes today. There are guys that are 6'3 like rus who are doing the things they are doing. Nate Robinson is just about as tall as spudd Webb maybe an inch or 2 taller. So yeah you're talking once in a while special kind of athlete. I'm talking that there are guys out there in the fucking d-league who have 45 inch verticals. They are fucking everywhere. You have have a kid, a kid in Zion doing 360 through the legs windmill dunks, in game. Have your Jordan housewife head removed from his ass and accept the fact that today's athletes are far superior. We're talking guys with verticals like that, who weigh 20 pounds more than the 210-215lbs Jordan and that was at the end of his career when he didn't have the same lift lmao 😂😂😂.The guy had to be 185 when he was "hanging" in the air lmao. Another thing you mentioned Vince carter....Jordan retired for a second time in Jan of 1999. Vince only played one season before he did so wtf are you talking about. These players you're searching for and giving Jordan credit for were coming into the league and were green.....they are the reason he retired......for a second time at 35, cause he was getting wrecked. Of course he could score, Jordan had a great fade, and beautiful footwork,and was automatic at mid range, but kids were dropping 30 on him. I know I watched all the games....So don't come at me bro cause you're mad i insulted your bf. It's just a statement, facts really, and it's a shame more people don't realize this lmao.

Chris Williams your stupidity is mind boggling.....lbj was an all state football player and regarded as one of the best wide receivers with records that still stand in his high school. Allen Iverson was another, and so on and so on and so on. Jordan was demoted to jv/cut in his words in high school for his main sport, basketball. He played football and baseball, if that's what you wanna call it lmao but wasn't good enough to get recruited in those sports. Today's athlete is superior, and they do it while being physically more gifted. I.e lebron 6'8 260....only 2 inches taller and 55 lbs. Heavier

Chris Williams read the second paragraph in your people just don't get it comment. Hey I'd feel stupid too if I didn't understand what I'm writing. You said "in game". I'm arguing with a triggered Jordan housewife over here lmao so emotional he don't even know what he's saying 😂😂😂😂😂

Here's another thing to wrap your feeble mind around......was the windmill dunk around during the 70s. Answer is yes...did dr.j invent the free throw line dunk.. .probably not but the first to showcase it on tv. Did Jordan use someone else's dunk to win against Wilkins who in my opinion was a better dunker, yes. Did he ever think to windmill from the free throw line, no. So how creative is Jordan really? Not so much. Sports science proved he didn't have enough hang time to pull that Levine dunk off. Jordan was dunking on people who had cement in their shoes. So fuck outta here with that weak shit. Your arguments are weak as fuck

Because MJ free throw dunk was the most graceful/finesse. Serge ibaka free throw dunk is ugly and unwatchable, that is why nobody remembers it. Lol.
