Point being that around back wasn't original. Yes they were sick but overall again I thought the comp was a let down. 37 missed dunks I think someone counted

Yeah the missed dunks killed it. I wonder though back to when we loved the classics etc how many missed dunks happened back then. All we see now is a couple of the greats and say it was awesome but surely it has always happened

Now let's see the Lavine Hype start, cards sell for ridiculous amounts and then die out again....

Doing some reading. In jordans 2nd dunk contest win needing his last and final dunk to beat Dominique wilkins he lines up for the free throw dunk. Which he actually missed. Then lined up did it again scored 50 and wins

Great dunks but I see him as not even as good in the dunk comp as Gerald Green. Good on him though for winning at what, 19 yrs old? pretty crazy

Heading to the Lakers I hope

The Rockets first round draft pick we acquired along with Jeremy Lin could be enough to get the deal done, apparently.

VC greatest dunker of all time - he deserves to ride the dunk comp forever! Dudes still try and replicate what he did and use it for inspiration

360 windmill, hanging arm inside ring, resting his sack for a split second on a 7 ft dudes devon patch......finesse, hops. Revolutionary.
Rider was too, but a tad less
