The Best Dunk Contest I've Ever Seen

I've had dreams of a dunk contest involving Gerald Green, James White and Pops-Mensah Bonsu before, but usually there wasn't any Russians involved.

And even in my dreams, this shit didn't happen.

Let me break down what happens here:

1. Gerald Green puts a two-footed windmill down from outside the restricted circle, a tough dunk. Oh, it was also an alley-oop off the shot clock.
2. James White leaves from the edge of the key (the triangular international key), skywalks across, and throws down a left handed windmill.
3. Dewey form Malcolm in the Middle then puts down a bit of a weak reverse clutch, but it still would've been a 40 in this year's contest. More from him to come.
4. Pops then throws down an exact replica of Vince's 'honey-dip' dunk, getting his hand right into the pot. I've never heard of a 6'11" guy even thinking of trying that.

At this point, you better watch this to catch up to my excitement.




Did I mention James White once qualified for NCAA high jump Regionals, without ever having any high jump training?

The contest continues to escalate with an awesome off the back of the backboard dunk by Dewey, a nice 360 windmill by Adam Morrison's chubby brother (even though he didn't get full rotation) and what seemed like about a dozen different free-throw line dunks from James White.

Gerald Green continued his barrage on the shot-clock by tossing it off the side of it and throwing down just a ridiculously cocked-back alley-oop.

Now when the hell is the NBA going to realize you need to put guys in the contest who want to be in the dunk contest? Look at how much fun these guys were having with each other, all the while having the most competitive contest I've seen since the MJ vs. 'Nique throwdown.

  2. Yeah, I did that video a bit different, I learned how to embed now so sound is a go from now on.

    And yeah, I just wish White would've been able to finish it.

  3. Yes, this is true, but if you can take a look at the 2010 D league dunk contest! contains hands down some of the best dunks out there.
