Was gonna say, it was like an awkward VC impression.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Ugly looking dunk, but nice when you consider it's ingame. Looked literally like a fish out of water.

I want to see Lance do a off the backboard, 720 statue of liberty from the 3pt line. He has too much swag not to try it.

[Inferno]

Not as good as Vince, sorry. :(

And Vince just posterized Robin Lopez :applause:

[HylianNightmare]

rawwwww

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Not as good as Vince, sorry. :(
Its not fair to compare any dunker to him tho he was juss on other level:eek: :eek:

[oarabbus]

insane dunk. looked like he's spiderman on the landing

[9erempiree]

Wow! Exciting!

That's what this league needs. Very Kobe like. Give the fans what they want when you are open for a dunk.

WELL NO SHIT vince is GOAT dunker of course it's not as good as him

better than oladipo's 360 doe

[Smook A.]

Wow! Exciting!

That's what this league needs. Very Kobe like. Give the fans what they want when you are open for a dunk.
Kobe's dunks weren't ever exciting

[moe94]

I'd argue he's top 5.

Kobe couldn't dream of doing this.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Looked awkward but give the guy credit for attempting and completing such a difficult dunk. Can't believe Knicks fans even dare to compare a sub 40% shooter who just chucks shots (Chuckelo) to this younger and much more complete star. (George)

[alenleomessi]

Awesome dunk but very risky. He almost didn't stick that landing and it could have ended badly.

1. Vince
2. Wilkins

I could jive with that ... Pippen / Wade / LeBron / Kemp / Drexler / Dr. J can make strong claims for that 5th spot doe, to be perfectly honest. All were dynamic leapers, open court dunkers, and posterizers in traffic. But I agree with your list.

[nycjeff45]

Pretty good, but it wasn't as good as the GREATEST DUNKER OF ALL TIME :rolleyes:

awesome dunk.

the other angle from beneath the basket that they showed on replay was pretty killer.

[waseem780]

:wtf: Carter had amazing in-game dunks.
Comparing Carter's Dunk contest dunk to PG's dunk isn't fair because PG's dunk was during a game while Vince's was in a contest ,

[waseem780]

You obviously never watched Toronto Carter...
Ugh , You guys are comparing a dunk contest dunk to a In game dunk that's not fair

[branslowski]

Dunk of the year. Man, you got George, Curry, and Durant makin the future of the league amazing.:applause:

But the PG dunk is absolutely epic...love it

I can tell you started watching basketball not too long ago if you think that.

Awesome dunk though.

Good thing he didn't get hurt on the landing.

That was just SICK. Dunk-contest-winning quality right there... and in front of the opponents bench no less. :bowdown: :bowdown:

Better @ that angle, not a fan of the awkward landing. Could've injured him.

[Rake2204]

Better @ that angle, not a fan of the awkward landing. Could've injured him.I've seen quite a few references to the landing in this thread. It looked like he stuck it to me.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Nobody has better windmills than VC. Or 360 dunks for that matter. That said, great dunk.

He barely stuck it and with the way his body was spinning and contorting that landing could have gone badly. He's lucky.

[no pun intended]

Of course.

But I'm just impressed (and correct me if I'm wrong) because it's probably the first 360 windmill ever to be done in a game.

lol that was so close to being an epic fail.

Right? :lol

Awkward dunk but he made it work. Love to see players attempt crazy in-game dunks.

[DonDadda59]

Filthy dunk. Glad I decided to check the score on NBA TV at that moment and saw it live. Took guts to attempt that in-game.

Not fair to compare him to the GOAT dunker though. There's a reason a ton of people have done through the legs dunks in the contest but no one has pulled off that reverse 360 windmill as cleanly as Vince. Shit is hard as f*ck to do. PG had a noble attempt.

[freshperry]

Someone give this guy a shoe deal! or does he already have 1?

[coin24]

:bowdown: :bowdown:

Awesome dunk:applause: :applause:

[IncarceratedBob]

Cute dunk

[Rake2204]

He barely stuck it and with the way his body was spinning and contorting that landing could have gone badly. He's lucky.Hmm, fair enough. It seemed normal to me. I mean, not super standard, but I definitely didn't get the feel that he was lucky he didn't get hurt.

[freshperry]

Also, is anyone thinking the Kool-Aid commercial after hearing the commentary?:rockon:

[Noob Saibot]

That dunk by George is going to be hard to beat this season. really like his imagination, paying some respect for Vinsanity.

[KOBEisBaawlliin!]

Risky circumstantial dunk regardless. He pulled it off for what it is.

Name 'em doe

Carter
Kemp
Iggy
Kobe
Blake (sorry, I really do think he already belongs here)

[Draz]

That was sexy

[buddha]

nice dunk but he barely gets any lift, head doesn't even come close to the rim.

[Leftimage]

nice dunk but he barely gets any lift, head doesn't even come close to the rim.

He was on the way down, besides you're not gonna get the same air when flailing your arms and doing a 360.

But he definitely almost embarrassed himself there :applause:

I dig the showmanship though

[OmniStrife]

Dayumm!!

You know Gerald Green is watching...

[Cold soul]

Straight up nasty. Dunk of the year no doubt. :bowdown:

[PsychoBe]

was robbed in the dunk contest

[MMM]

great dunk but i prefer dunk on for dunk of the year material.

[9erempiree]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n3FSUupYzc

[sundizz]

Definitely an amazing dunk to do in a game. Honestly though a dunk is only 50% difficulty. The other 50% is power, landing, and aesthetics etc. That was a bit ugly. Seeing it live....i would of gone ballistic a bit. Hella awesome. However, when my memory has VC and Kobe dunks that are just as hard...but way more aesthetically pleasing it makes it hard to like this one as much. Same problem JRich had. He wasn't pretty with his dunks.

There is no comparison between what PG did and Vince did. Like comparing a Ferrari to a replica Ferrari

I thought he stuck that landing like a boss.

[Rolando]

Great, great dunk. Dunk of the year so far.:applause:

[Real Men Wear Green]

Excellent dunk. But ESPN was acting like it was the best dunk ever when VC's DC version was just as good if not better. They are trying too hard to act like the current generation is the best ever at everything (given time and rings they are going to say James is better than MJ). Really the greatest dunk ever seen by the general public remains Carter over Weiss.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMrPjl-927Q

That's a seven-footer, unlike when James went over Delonte West some years back or other celebrated dunks where we see a bigger man slam on a guard (DeAndre Jordan's dunkface comes to mind). Further unrelated to the topic, when did we start celebrating so hard when bigs dunked on guards? You're 6 inches taller, aren't you supposed to be able to do that? The dunks are nasty no doubt but to me it's more impressive when you do that to someone your own size or bigger. Like Carter over Weiss. I maintain that dunk is the reason why he never joined the Knicks.

[SexSymbol]

Perfect dunk, perfect landing.
10/10 dunk of the year

Anybody complaining about the landing don't know what they're talking about, that's was a perfect landing, both feet hit the floor exactly at the same time and he ducked a little to soften the landing. That's incredible, one of the hardest dunks ever.
Has VC ever did 360 windmill in a game? highly doubt it

[Rake2204]

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view5/2579771/vince-carter-360-o.gifI still give George at crap ton of credit for pulling this off in-game though. I agree that it wasn't Vince's level but again, I think that's to be assumed for the first time someone pulls it off on an actual fast break.

George's could still serve as a watershed moment though. Perhaps others will now have the gall to pull it off while maybe not having to stretch as severely as George did to complete the rotation (and perhaps while extending the windmill arm more fully). These types of dunks usually start somewhere awesome (like George's) then get improved upon as more and more dunkers realize it's possible to pull off in-game.

My fandom wishes it was Vince who pulled it off first on a fast break, but I can't deny that it was cool to see, regardless of who it was to make it happen.

[Shade8780]

Holy shit...

[GOBB]

Vince body is mad of spaghetti. George is rather stiff in his dunks. But still sick nonetheless.



I'll ask for a 12th time WHERE IS STROSHOW STICKY THREAD????

[BuffaloBill]

How did they get the Cookie Monster to do commentary for this game?

[Myth]

It was awkward but still damn. :wtf:

That was my thought too. Looks like he lost balance towards the end or something.

I totally agree. When I read "best in-game dunk all-time" my mouth dropped. Definitely best in-game dunk of the year, I can't recall the last few years. The over-reactions are insane.

[SwayDizzle]

sick dunk. this man may actually save the NBA

[FKAri]

Its ok. I dont see what the big deal is. Why do I have to like it if I've seen better? Am I supposed to give him props cuz he tried something hard? This is the NBA not the special Olympics.

You're right. Usually I'm so jaded that I am not able to enjoy anything unless it's as good or better than the absolute best of all time. I'm a happy person.

He couldve done an easier dunk that didnt look as awkward I wouldve enjoyed it more. Just how I feel.

It looked very smooth to me so I don't understand this criticism at all. Is it the landing?

The landing is fine, there is nothing wrong with the dunk, I don't get what his problem is, the fact that it was done in games makes it even better as well.

[AnaheimLakers24]

look at these pathetic levirginites only able to see his off landing and saying he could of gotten hurt. you losers probably wish he did. sick lifes
