GOAT video, in my opinion. Properly canonizes the essential GOATbrook dunks up to this point, though was made before his insane transition flush vs. Detroit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=579I1or4L_Q
and his dunk contest-worthy reverse vs. Orlando:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-r6CmxewWc
This compilation has two glaring omissions: the one handed tomahawk alley oop from KD against the Kings:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEg7Kx7ln2w
and the decimation of Omer Asik:

There are also some tip dunks missing from the video:

For your viewing pleasure, here is the "Brutal dunks" video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QX59NsUnmY
To aid in your viewing (and choices below), here is the above video, cataloged:
00:00 - Goes around and over the Utah Jazz team
Underrated, in my opinion. As good as many of his are, this was one that I saw live (well, on League Pass) and knew it was an instant classic
00:24 - All Star game alley oop from Harden
The one questionable inclusion in this compilation. Would have preferred this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AMFosJ7IBs
00:44 - Massive dunk on the break late in the game vs. Memphis in 2014 playoffs
You might remember that GOATbrook had a similarly awesome dunk wiped out in this game due to a GOATkins offensive foul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEZaW2XH4JE
This one wasn't to be wiped away, though, and came at a crucial moment off of an Ibaka block. I still cannot believe how insane that playoff series was.
00:58 - Big coast to coast slam against the Nuggets - brutal defense.
01:11 - Contender for best GOATbrook dunk ever. The massive facial all over the Houston Rockets - possibly the entire city of Houston.
01:23 - THE slam against the Spurs in the WCF last year. You know the one.
01:38 - Split and slam from a couple of years ago against Miami.
Nice at the time, but this is the kind of thing he does 20 times a year now.
01:48 - Steal and dunk in transition against the Bobcats.
Underrated dunk in my opinion. Made that seem out of nothing, and once he took it everyone got out of his way. Remember seeing this one on TV and it was awesome.
02:04 - Breakaway windmill.
Along with the dunk against the Magic from Sunday, the closest thing to a "dunk contest dunk" he has done in a game so far.
02:15 - Historic dunk over a terrified Steph Curry.
A serious contender because it embodies all that is GOATbrook: insane athleticism and ferocity, matched with an undying want to embarrass so-called "rivals" allegedly "on his level."
02:37 - Nearly carbon copy of the Curry dunk, but against the Bobcats
Off two feet as well. Nice, but not on the level of the Curry dunk.
02:53 - Alley oop from Durant against Spurs in 2012 WCF.
This was the moment the series basically ended. Side note: how the hell was a game from this series on NBA TV? Surely that has to just be video from a replay?
So that is "Brutal Dunks" - or at least the first in a series of what could grow to hundreds of volumes. What are your top 3 GOATbrook dunks?
My list:
1. Dunk against the Spurs in 2014 WCF
2. Fast break dunk against Magic from Sunday
3. Dunk over Curry
