LOL @the Lakers bench ahahah that was classic but I don't know i'm torn weather that is a dunk or not.

[Fallguy20]

Sicky tight.

...

But shall I be a stickler and say that he only threw it in a downward motion without touching rim?

Na, close enough.

oh my god they're going to choke this away:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[DCL]

it looked good, but i wouldn't call that a dunk.

even though howard did the same sh!t in the dunk contest.... tossing the ball down without even touching the rim at all.

LOL @the Lakers bench ahahah that was classic but I don't know i'm torn weather that is a dunk or not.I've always been in the camp of including any forceful throwdowns under the dunk umbrella. At its essence, that's what a dunk is and was - throwing the ball into the hoop instead of lobbing it up there. I have never really believed touching the rim was necessary to deserve a "dunk" declaration.

Regardless, I don't suppose titles should really matter. Whatever you want to call it, it was righteous and it was delightful. I've always found it interesting when folks would watch replays of plays like this to see if a player's fingers grazed the rim or not, withholding props until it could be verified that they did; as if the play would suddenly not be good if it turns out the contact was not there.

Same "dunk" dwight did that won him the slam "dunk" comp.

Dwight Howard has become the prey. Brutality!

[NotYetGreat]

If I remember right, a dunk is just a shot that is thrown down from above the rim, so as long as your hand was above the rim, regardless if you touched it or not, it's a dunk.

If I remember right, a dunk is just a shot that is thrown down from above the rim, so as long as your hand was above the rim, regardless if you touched it or not, it's a dunk.Yup, I think that'd match up well with most official definitions.

[wally_world]

I love it, that was like a slap to Dwight's face!

Too bad the Bobcats didnt walk away with the win, that'll be epic. And they deserved it too.

Gerald Henderson might be the most underrated dunker in the NBA. His flush from last night won't blow you away, but I still really enjoyed the look and style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK4FqEsF5HI
