We all know about Gerald Green, who consistently got higher than anyone on his dunks than anyone in history imo.
His famous New Jersey Nets dunk.

I don't really see it. It's just right below, maybe a few inches. Young Wade had mad hops.

Beat me to it. LeBron before the Heat had insane hops. He still does too.

Above the rim.
Blake has many dunks where his head near rim level, that's for sure.

Nice dunk but his head is clearly at least 6 inches below the rim.

Terrible angle. His head is not even close to the rim.

People are doing the same thing they did in the other thread and starting to post dunks that aren't even close to rim level. People really need to pay attention to the camera angle to accurately judge where a player's head is at in relation to the rim. This stuff is seldom done and means you REALLY need to get up to do it.

Kind of hard to tell but based on the elevation he got in comparison to the player on the floor, he was way up there.

How is that hard to tell?
You lack the basics of perspective.
That's nowhere near rim level.

I didn't say it was at rim level, I just said he was way up there.

From another angle you can see he's 2-3 inches below but from this one it seemed to be deceiving and close to me, but I guess I'm trippin or something.
He had another play on a dunk in Game 2 of the 2011 Finals where he seemed pretty close, no bad angles, I'll look for it.
