This is at least the 2nd NON DUNK this season being touted as the dunk of the year.

Very impressive regardless.

How can you be active in a basketball forum and not actually know what a freakin' dunk is?

There is no need to "touch the rim" to be counted as a dunk. A dunk just needs to be above the horizontal plane of the rim by shoving the ball directly through the basket.

Edwards play simply was a dunk. Maybe even the dunk of the year.


Rim interaction is a literal component of the dunk rule in the NBA. How can you be active in a basketball forum blah blah blah.

It has nothing to do with their intentions. Sometimes in life you do everything to the best of your ability and still get the short end of the stick. Yes, he tried to make the right play, but when you're on a poster like that, all of that stuff goes out the window. Sometimes you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Nate is right. Without the defender no one remembers the play or the dunk.

Amazing play. Collins got destroyed. However, still not even a dunk.

Just like Blake Griffin’s super hyped “dunk” I can’t even remember who it was over, but everyone knows the one.

Pull that dunk around to directly in front of the rim and I bet his foot would be touching the foul line when he takes off.

Huge leap, savage finish. The kind of human feat for which the massively overused word "awesome" was invented. In this case, perfectly justified.

Stop nitpicking it and enjoy.

O...kay? I don't get the point you two are trying to make. When someone gets crossed over and get their ankles broken, we praise the dribbler at the expense of the defender who fell. We're not going to say, "not sure why we're clowning the defender, what were they supposed to do, just stand in place?". You can do the "right thing" and be on the other side of a big play where you're unfortunately the loser in the scenario. Sometimes you just take it on the chin and move on.

Great. In that case they're better off not challenging the dunk at all. If you're going to mock someone for making an effort, why bother making the effort.

Everyone is a two footed leaper. Only some people can leap off of a single foot. MJ is a single footed leaper and absolutely the most well known of them.

It's official in Timberwolves land; John Collins will heretofore only be refered to as "the ghost of John Collins" in these parts as we honor the memory of a once promising player.
