Saying otherwisr is like saying tettris is a better game the last of us.

Fuck nostalgia faggots. Not one dunker can do what he did.


Third thread I know. But so much injustice. Gervin, Tmac and mutombo should never judge ever.

Oh, and I hope you mean Dunk Contest dunker, because Vince is in a tier all to himself when it comes to in-game. And that's not nostalgia, just fact.

Best dunker = best in-game dunker

The guy won't be dunking like that when it actually matters.

No fucking way bro...

Games are incredibly easy today that any retard can beat them. And most modern "games" are essentially interactive movies that take little to no skill to complete.

And don't think this is nostalgia talking. I play more modern games than the classics nowadays because I don't feel like putting in any effort in that regard. To beat a game like Ninja Gaiden on the NES takes Asian level skill, pattern recognition, and reaction time. To beat a "modern game," all you have to do is turn on the system.

I agree that Gordon had the best performance in a dunk contest in league history, tbh..

Vince is on his own level for in-game dunks, though..I don't think anybody will surpass him for a while, considering the prominence of the 3-point shot and players inevitably conserving their bodies by dunking less frequently..

Demar who also got robbed just said it's the best dunk contest ever..Funny how the 80's guys are still talking about Jordan and Wilkins...No way.

Gordon Is the best dunker in dunk contest history ever... and His competition did a between legs dunk with his back hell foot on the free throw line..WTF..

Games are supposed to be fun. Games like Ghosts n Goblins and Ninja Gaiden probably took a few years off my life. 10-year-olds aren't supposed to experience that level of stress from a recreational activity.

Name me a player from that 90's that could have done with Gordon just did..

Heck Lavine's between the legs dunk with his backheel foot in the free throw line...Name me a player in the 90s that could have done something like that.

Modern Athletes are flying bro.

in comparison...90's athletes were Skip Jumping.

I don't know how many times we have to have this conversation where I always debunk your superhero perception of "modern" athletes.

Human athleticism peaked decades ago. You're confusing athletic ability with creativity, so of course modern dunkers are going to be more impressive when they've had 40 years to build on what came before.

:lol If you don't think Jordan or Vince can't jump over a muppet. Vince's between the legs dunk from the T-Mac bounce alley oop was more impressive. It's a lot more difficult to time your jump to catch a bounce pass than it is to catch it from a set position (even if that position is rotating).

And show me any athlete, modern or vintage, jumping over a 7'3" center?

I don't know why you fetishize modern athletes to this silly level.

I am not impressed by All Star weekend dunks. That one impressed me. Not because of the dunk but goddamn he went basically supine almost above the fucking rim. Lavine was amazing as well.

What made this one "great" was that you didn't have midget pygmies like Nate taking 9 attempts at a sub standard dunk.

midnightpulp
02-14-2016, 01:49 AM
Look at where Jordan's head is here, and he's 3" shorter than Gordan.

All he has to do is tuck in his legs, find a colorful muppet, and there it is. But in 1986 they didn't think of doing such things.

The number of attempts may have been the best part..they did all of their dunks on the first or second attempt, which is how it should always be..

Most of the contests since 2000 have been littered with contestants taking 10 attempts for each dunk, including the winners, which has killed the entertainment value..well, that + corny gimmicks..

Lavine or Gordon are going to tear an ACL or something more serious. You put that kind of pressure on those ligaments to get that kind of response from your body, something gives. DRose could jump like a fucking bean until that fateful day. Kobe could turn the corner until minute 48 in a meaningless game/meaningless season at which time she gave way.

I'd like to see these guys on a team that's actually interesting to watch, just to see the shit they do.

But give me that layup of Boban any day.

midnightpulp
02-14-2016, 02:01 AM
Oh, and I think Gordon's muppet dunks were two of the best all-time, but any leaper (provided he has the hand eye coordination) with a 37"-40" vert could do those dunks. Jordan, Vince, Nique, Spud Webb if you get a shorter muppet relative to his size, etc could do them, but the difference they, just like Gordon's competition, didn't think of doing them.

The most creative dunkers reign, not the most athletic.

:lol I do agree with you on what you said about the old school games. The graphics weren't great but they were hard as hell to beat. I hated RPG games like Zelda but I did enjoy the action platform type of games.

No one is comparing Jordan and Wilkins to the new guys. Other than saying the contests were more exciting because they were newer. That being said, last night was damn awesome.

Also, Wilkins was a great in game dunker.

Gordon pushes off the Muppet, using him for leverage to get more elevation.
It not like he jumped "all air" over Gordon. :lol

It was a good show. I think it could have gone either way. Jumping from the free throw line doesn't just take vertical, as it takes lateral explosion as well. Those are super feats tbh. You really look like you're flying..


Definitely not the best dinner ever. Op must have started watching ball in 2010 or something.
