It is, when the point guard's getting yammed on like that, tbh....
lol monkey cant do that against top teams, they hard foul that monkey
That`s what happens to you, when you play a little too much defense on tanking team.
Nah man, I was talking about the secular Kemp
- This dunk is my 3rd favorite dunk of all time behind Shaq dunking on a dude and pushing him out of bounds afterwards and Pip dunking on Ewing then standing over him. Good retro footage man.
tbh these are both great
Oh ! There it is!

the gif doesnt do it justice, dudley throwing the ball at shaq is hilarious
Yep - the Pip gif leaves out a lot too like Ewing angrily pushing Pip off of him as he was wiping ball sweat out of his eyes.the gif doesnt do it justice, dudley throwing the ball at shaq is hilarious
for all the dudley gets, whether u can call him serviceable or not, this clown manage to make 30m out of his +15yr nba career being a poster boy, not bad at all for rent-a-6-fouls...the gif doesnt do it justice, dudley throwing the ball at shaq is hilarious
glad to say I was at this game today. Buddy called me up at 5 asking if I wanted to go to the game at 6:30, seeing as he had an extra ticket. Needless to say I bolted straight to staples center, even though it was Clips/Pistons, its usually a good idea to catch a free basketball game
and turns out i probably saw the dunk of the year
the chick at 0:13 wasnt impressed
Chris Dudley got a T for throwing the ball at Shaq!
I've said it before, but I have respect for guys (especially guards and small forwards) who actually challenge plays at the rim. It's weak to see dudes constantly just ducking out of the way. This is the nature of the beast when you play defense. Sometimes you swat dudes, sometimes you get murdered mid-air.
Thank God in Heaven it wasn't a white player.
THIS!
Bonner would have probably run away.
But Knight didnt stop Jordan, plus he fouled him for and-one.
Im with DPG, it take balls as a small guy to go up to prevent that play ...
But you see a few weeks back I talked about how an image like that (getting eviscerated on a dunk) changes perception of a player to the general fan. AS a coach I applaud Knight he tried to prevent the score in a game the Pistons had no shot ...a great example of fight, heart etc.
But as just a fan that was as emasculating a dunk as possible.
Sure enough it was not as impressive as Kemp on Lister or Gatling, Scottie or MJ on Ewing, Blake on Perk or Pau or VC on Mutombo or Alonzo because the defender was small ...
However from sheer athleticism to catch that with your off hand, throw it down from that distance with that kind of force even on a little guy ... Wow. It was kind of like Corey Brewer on Fish but 10 x worse.
Note: TBH (not hating) ... catching oops much easier than dunking off the bounce. I COULD dunk off a oop in HS, and in college (not in a game, pre-game only ...and I did not play anything more than intra-murals at UCLA) ... off an oop you can get much higher and just slam. But again damn that was impressive ... just not sure I take it overal over some of the dunks I mentioned ...I will also give Deandre credit for not commiting an offensive foul as Griffin has done on several of his best dunks.
I know people are giving Knight props for trying, but what realistically was he going to achieve by challenging? A block?
Sure, may have been mission impossible in retrospect and tbh ...not sure he had time to make a decision. Paul throws the lob ...Knight sees it and reacts and Denadre throws it down so quick ...I know people are giving Knight props for trying, but what realistically was he going to achieve by challenging? A block?
But I still stand by the heart he showed because in a game like that with Clips owning he could of quit ...
Don’t care about the result, I care about the effort.
Plus Captivus ...
How was that even a fould on Knight?! I hate that call. Hate it. Give Jordan his dunk but where is the foul? It was a lob that Knight had every right to ...shoulda been a no call.
20 years into the future, people won't recall this dunk at all. But.. I do have to believe that they will recall Blake on Perkins or Mozgov.
You may be right since Blake is a greater player. That is why I used Corey Brewer on on Fisher as a comparison. Brewer and Deandre are rotation guys dunking on PG's. Both are amazing dunks. But since the player themselves and the person they dunked on are not impressive ... not sure how long it will be remebered either. But still a great dunk.
This ain't North Korea, that is only worth 2 points. It's a nice dunk but that's it. There's a reason why people remember the Carter dunk tbh
