do a flip in midair and then dunk it?
Seriously. I'm getting pretty sick of the same old dunks.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.
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
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.
360 through the legs
through the legs twice
statue of liberty from near FT line
Yeah! The double through the legs would be awesome.
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
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
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.
Awesome!
Definitely put the link here if you do find it.
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.
behind the back double-clutch 360 windmill sunny-side up flip verticle jam.
um, have you ever seen a guy put a sticker 12 feet and 6 inches high ?
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 compe ion/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 compe ion 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.
- 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)

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.
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."

according to DH12...he saved his best dunk in the finals...he was about to kiss the rim in that "if only" final dunk....
Jordan...
-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.
According to another site, Howard pe ioned 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.
