New slam dunk ideas?

[Billy Shears]

Seriously. I'm getting pretty sick of the same old dunks. :sleep Anybody have any ideas for a dunk that hasn't been done a thousand times?

I'd like to see someone start by wedging the ball between the rim and backboard and then work with that.

[dave]

do a flip in midair and then dunk it?

That'd be pretty cool to see, but could anyone even do it? I'm talking realistic dunks lol

[johngateswhiteley]

i don't have a problem with the dunks. i have a problem with the format...i think it sucks. go back to the way it was.

[resistanze]

360 through the legs
through the legs twice

Yeah! The double through the legs would be awesome.

[TDMVPDPOY]

anything is possible if there is a trampoline......look at the suns mascot, if he was in the dunk comp he put these clowns too shame

[lefty]

How to make the dunk contest interesting again? Oh I Know : invite Vince and Fred Weiss ; put Weiss in front of the net ; u know the drill

[Leetonidas]

Some of the dunks from Europe are sick.

I can't find the video, but I know Walter Hermann has done one where he took off all of his clothes to his boxers and dunked it somehow, and one where some dude did a somersault dunk.

I remember some CBA guy about ten years ago did a cartwheel dunk. It was great. He put the ball down against the floor and held onto it and rose up with a windmill jam after completing a cartwheel. I haven't seen it since. You would think it would get some air time somewhere. It was on ESPN I believe.

:lol

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

um, have you ever seen a guy put a sticker 12 feet and 6 inches high ? :lol

[Ronaldo McDonald]

In my opinion the lack of dunk creativity is something that can't be helped. We have pretty much seen everything. I think the excitment is pretty much harnessed in the competition/rivalry between the players. Imagine a Vince, Kobe, Tmac, Lebron, kg contest. We'd be seeing the same types of dunks, but the fact that these players are so popular, and impactul in the league, watching it would be fun. But the Big time players just don't enter because the highest prize you can get in the competition is like what 30,000? That's like .00000000006% of what they have in the bank.

Yeah, seeing those guys in the contest would be so much better. But I don't know, I mean there's gotta be stuff out there nobody's thought to do yet.

Sounds fattening.

[AZLouis]

- do 360s by spinning in the other direction

- raise the rim

- offer a reward for most creative dunk

- 4 NBA guys vs 4 And1 guys vs 4 European guys (ever see that French dude that has a 56 inch vert. Look up Kadour Ziani)

[Capt Bringdown]

The dunk contest was introduced and popularized by the ABA as a flashy way to compete with the then stodgy and "establishment" NBA.

Flash forward to now and the dunk contest has become a rather dull and stody tradition IMO. We've reached a saturation point, enough already.

[biba]

Try to remember Andre Iguodala dunk from last year : had you ever seen it before ?

"it was obvious to the crowd that Philly's swingman delivered the best dunk of the night in the first round, catching an Allen Iverson pass off the back of the glass and gliding under the backboard and rim for a reverse-slam on the other side. And then running off the court and down the tunnel as if to say it was over.
"Andre's behind-the-backboard dunk, that was crazy," said Josh Smith, the defending champ who said he'd never try that even after seeing it completed.
We'll be talking about this creative jam for a long time.
Said Iguodala, "I came up with that one day during the summer. I was in the gym and this guy told me I couldn't touch one side of the backboard and come to the other side and dunk the ball, and I did it.

"It came from that and I'm glad I got a chance to show it to the crowd."

It was a creative, athletic display of fearlessness, especially since he had scraped his face on the bottom of the backboard on his first attempt of the dunk."

[Duncanoypi]

according to DH12...he saved his best dunk in the finals...he was about to kiss the rim in that "if only" final dunk....

fuck Jordan...

[Texas_Ranger]

-720 - T.J. Fontenette can do it.
-Over 5 guys - Like Green did it on the contest over Robinson, just add 4 more guys. Guys from the Slam nation can do it.
-Over a car - Marko Milic did it once on Slovenian dunk contest.
-Over a motorbike - Milic did it.
-Between the legs from the free throw line - James White did it.
-Under the ass or under the legs dunk - You can do it on the NBA live game.
-Behind the back and then between the legs - I didn't saw it yet.
-Pass yourself the ball from the backboard, then catch the ball, give the ball between the legs and do a 180 dunk - J-Rich did it, just he didn't do a 180.
-Between the legs 360 - T.J. Fontenette did it.
-Two time dunk. First do a normal dunk, then catch the ball under the rim once again and dunk it once again - That would be nice to see.

I've got a lot of ideas left but this is enough for now.

[JMarkJohns]

According to another site, Howard petitioned the NBA for the opportunity to do the following...

360 on a 12' rim
pass to oneself, through the legs on an 11'6" rim.

NBA said no. So, raising the rim doesn't sound likely.

yea, i remeber that one. it was sick. his behind the back was real good to, but he should have done that first, then used the backboard dunk for his last one. he still got jobbed bigtime though. Robinson didnt deserve to win it at all.

[MrChug]

I think any dunk with strippers would have gotten a 50 in Las Vegas. They're used to getting slammed on anyway...

You can't use props anymore either, so that's out.

Face it. There are only so many ways to dunk the fucking basketball. It's become tiresome, and a caracature of itself, just like All Star Weekend.

[P-O-Z]

the only good dunk to me was tha dwight and gerald green over nate other than that it sucked

[TheSanityAnnex]

Air Up There from the And1 team would have schooled everyone in this contest. They should allow two amateurs in the event each year.

[ALVAREZ6]

WEll since the NBA allows no props, all you'll ever see is the same old dunks. There aren't many dunks left to do that people haven't done yet. Now it's just a matter of who's the most athletic.

Gerland Green I thought did a good job, and damn can he jump. My favorite was his first dunk with Pierce throwing off the backboard for him because he performed that so smoothly on his first attempt, and his head was above the rim.


There's a clip of a europe dunk contest with Gelabale and Herrmann in it. Herrmann lights the ball on fire and doesn't some reserve dunk from what I remember. It used to be on YouTube, I'm having trouble finding it.

Those are some good ones! It kind of suprises me we haven't seen a 720 in the NBA yet. I was thinking about the two time dunk too. That'd be sweet.

There's video of a half-naked Argentinian basketball player and spurschick hasn't shown up yet?

Lmao!

[Amare_32]

um, have you ever seen a guy put a sticker 12 feet and 6 inches high ? :lol


That alone should have won the contest for Howard.

[dirk4mvp]

This year's contest sucked. When Rudy Gay is in it next year, it'll be better. He should've been in it over Thomas anyways.

[Holmes_Fans]

They need to let the judges see replays of the dunk before the judge. They can't see everything when they are at halfcourt behind the player. One the one guys dunk he covered his face, and the judges didn't see it.


random, but check out this dunk - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u6RlOhO0oU

[Purple & Gold]

Here's a 720 dunk or at least very close to it.

[BradLohaus]

^^That was great!

"Yokmed sayon daeom sanchiontwite - OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHAAAHHHH!!!!!!"

[sabar]

That 720 is pretty nice.
So now we need a 900.
If that is even humanely possible.

[lefty]

It was an ok 720 ; I guess :smokin

Yeah, Definitely.

[jbspurs]

I know James White did the between the legs from the free throw line one handed. Now, I want to see somebody do the same thing and dunk it two handed.

holy shit. now that's what I'm talking about. CREATIVITY.

[Holmes_Fans]

The NBA players are just lacking creativity. There is alot of stuff out there that hasn't been seen in a NBA Dunk contest

...nah, they'd get to dizzy mid air and stumble into the first row.

[Trainwreck2100]

that's more like a 690

[bdictjames]

Bounce off the floor 720... only prime Vince could possibly pull that off

[Mixability]

Probably won't ever happen because of the injury risks, but having a defender in there might make it interesting.

Getting the first 3 year limit out of there would be ideal as would upping the prize money. What sponsor wouldn't pay big bucks for a Kobe/Wade/Howard dunk off against Shaq?

lol i donno if you mean shaq is a dunker or a defender either way :lol

No they wouldn't. Snowboarders are starting to do 1260s

[Billy Shears]

I think anything from behind the free throw line would be awesome. Has anyone actually seen a dunk where the person hasn't stepped over the line?

[Spurologist]

Through the legs-360 dunk

[sabar]

Not that it's possible anymore...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjoMYKORaPA

I'd post NBA footage of it if it was allowed, so settle.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

alot of these dunks have been done...



in slam ball lol

[dirk4mvp]

Josh Smith put tape about 2 feet behind the line, but took off in front of the tape at the line, It was still an awesome dunk, but it cost him points.

The tape was off to the left of the free throw line, alot further away from the rim. He never even attempted it though.

[jbspurs]

The past two dunk contest was boring. Allstar weekend is for fans and the league should let the fans decide on who can participate on the dunkfest.
