Haven't seen the dunk, but this was very impressive for a guy that big...

Blake has been unreal this season.

Blake has been unreal this season.I say this with complete respect, but that appears to be an awfully routine play, even for a big feller, no?

That looks so weak, after seeing it again. Probably not even Top 10 this year.

You know a guy is an amazing in-game dunker when people can look at that and respond with, "meh." :oldlol:

Virtually any other player in the league makes that play and it's a much different response.

It looked better from the other angle. He's right. He got up.

Disagree. You rarely see dunks like that on putbacks which hit off the side of the rim and careen sharply away from the hoop. Not only did he show great coordination by grabbing it with one paw, he cocked it back and tomahawked it.

That was a quality dunk.

So you think this is a Top 10 dunk this year? Or was it because I called it weak?

I just noticed now, but the gif seems slowed down towards the end where he throws it down. He put it in with way more force in real time. Maybe thats why it doesn't look as good as it was live.

Either way, I still don't consider it Top 10. Blake has at least 5 dunks this year alone better than this one.

I think the atmosphere bumps this one up a bit higher than it'd land otherwise. Great energy and crowd response: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2-DpP3O9bw

Hard to say whether or not it is Top 10 without going through the best and doing the actual rankings. I don't really know... and dunks aren't something I normally make a huge deal about.

Yeah, I was mainly just responding to your "weak" comment and the general dismissive attitude a lot of people had in this thread when it was posted.

That was a very difficult play and Blake and LeBron are probably the only two guys in the league capable of even making that play, let alone putting some style on it.

Wouldn't leave it at just those two.

I'd probably include T.Ross and Westbrook in there, in terms of capability. Faried too maybe.

DeAndre can pull it off as well.

McGee, Drummond, Hickson... Probably any athletic big and most wings. He had free lane, came from beyond the top of the key, and the ball didn't have some crazy bounce. Normally missed 3's have way longer rebounds than that.

Blake can do some insane dunks, that just isn't one of them.
