Kill yourself to raise awareness
Saying otherwisr is like saying tettris is a better game the last of us.
nostalgia gots. Not one dunker can do what he did.
Third thread I know. But so much injustice. Gervin, Tmac and mutombo should never judge ever.
Kill yourself to raise awareness
I agree that Gordon got robbed tonight. But, why the ensuing meltdown?
Average dunk tbh
Meltdowns are the food for advancement,,,,,you cant grow until you breakaway from complacency,,,,
Tetris is actually a better game than the Last of Us, though.
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.
Carter is unmatched when it comes to in-game dunking
Best dunker = best in-game dunker
The guy won't be dunking like that when it actually matters.
No ing way bro...
Games are incredibly easy today that any re 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.
We all agree there.
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..
I mean, damn.
There's nowhere to go after that. You can't get any sicker. Vince pretty much solved in game dunking.
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 compe ion did a between legs dunk with his back 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.
Jordan, Nique, Kemp.
From this angle, damn...
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.
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.
Ding ding ding. No one can match VC.
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 ing 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.
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.
