@ Kobe's face in the last pic.
Still, can't be that impressed when he missed the dunk. It was basically a high jump with nothing happening.
I mean, it's still impressive that he can jump that high, don't get me wrong. But he missed the dunk. So people should stop talking about it like it was the most athletic move in the history of the NBA.

That was crazy, I could have sworn he was going to get hurt the way he was going to land when I saw it last night. Dude jumped like there was a trampoline, I wish he made that dunk though.

Any story not involving Lebron at this point is better than any story about teams sucking up to the ringless king to go to their team.

Incredible. Too bad he didn't make it. Nevertheless very impressive. That brings me back to the MJ days.

How soon we forget -- Russell Westbrook had one just like that in the OKC-LAL series. I think the analyst made the exact same comment, too. "It looked like he jumped off a trampoline!"

no, it wasn't.


I'll know make reference to John Stark's "Superman" dunk over Jordan/Pippen and Marcus Camby's "elbow over the rim" put back dunk against the Hawks and leave this thread to this youngsters that are so easily impressed.

This is the best in-game dunk ever.

I disagree.

Missed dunk over black guy > made dunk over white guy.

I sense the sarcasm but the white dude is 7'2", that is better than Nate jumping over Dwight.

i personally like the tom chambers dunk over mark jackson. one thing thats common with all of these dunks are that they basically used the body of the dunkee to continue upward.

SportsNation just had a big best slam dunk in NBA history bit last week. Lot of good ones. This would not have been on there.

I think I would consider this as one of the best missed dunks since it could have changed the games outcome.
