In before 5'7 white people explain how little skill that took.

Oh, and I highly recommend an admin changes this to the NBA YouTube upload, lest we deal with the horror of commercials and ESPN.

More thug ball.

Man, I miss Chris Paul.

NBA put up a side-by-side comparison with the Mozgov dunk. Ridiculous.

And this just a day after Lebron went over John Lucas.

i dunno, mang....people are telling me he's white.

I read the headline as "drunk of the year". I am dissapoint.

They're out in full force.

vinnydoz007: Fat Kendrick Perkins would have eaten him alive.

this.

And of course, the greatest dunk of all time. Link (new window)

If anyone disagrees link the video, I'd be glad to be proven wrong.

"OH MAN. That took no skill. None. I would totes watch basketball if the rim were 30 feet higher and the refs called travelling and they weren't thugs with their hip hop music and blarh blarh blarh"

You just don't like basketball. It's cool. No one cares.

Yawn.

Vince Carter's dunk over that Frenchie in the Summer Olympics in Sydney is still the best dunk of all time. (new window)

9beers: One of the many reasons I hate basketball is that it's a game where being born freakishly tall gives you an unfair advantage.

One of the many reasons I hate baseball is that it's a game where being born with freakish hand-eye coordination gives you an unfair advantage.
One of the many reasons I hate football is that it's a game where being born with freakish speed gives you an unfair advantage.
(Or, if you're a lineman, being born with freakish size gives you an unfair advantage.)
One of the many reasons I hate soccer is that it's a game where being born with freakish foot-eye coordination and agility gives you an unfair advantage.

See how easy that works? It doesn't matter if height is the most overt and easily observable of those attributes. They're all attributes and skills which can be used towards the ultimate goal of being good or successful at that sport. "HE'S TOO TALL" was just a crutch invented by people who suck and will continue to suck at basketball. Dead simple.

9beers: Sure, there are exceptions but how many superstars have there been that weren't at least 6'5?

Culling through a couple lists: Nate Archibald, Allen Iverson, Isiah Thomas, Gary Payton, Walt Frazier, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, John Stockton, Bob Cousy, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Sam Jones, Steve Nash, Paul Arizin, Bill Sharman, Dennis Johnson, Earl Monroe, Pete Maravich, Sidney Moncrief, and Joe Dumars all seem to qualify.

Note that everyone who complains about the average height of an NBA player never seems to mention the fact that the average NFL quarterback is 6'3, and the guy who will probably go down as the greatest quarterback of all-time (Peyton Manning) is listed at 6'5 and 230 pounds. But white people dominate that position, so it's okay.

No. All basketball must be like Hoosiers or Teen Wolf. The rest is garbage.

PowerSlacker: Great play, not a dunk.

Counterpoint.

Yanks_RSJ: Two points.

Thanks for showing us what the Blake Griffin dunk looks like in fark comment form.

Always been partial to this one because he manfactured it himself with a great move and then just explodes out of nowhere to dunk over Ewing.

Plus it was during an NBA playoff game in the face of Patrick Ewing, not some tall, skinny french guy. Thanks for the link.

I've been enjoying the way people have been disputing this as dunk of the year by posting 20-year-old dunks.
