I mean, it's an obvious offensive foul by the rules considering Edwards initiated contact with his stretched out arm to Collins' eye. There's not really a debate to be had here.

Still a ridiculous display of athleticism that is rightfully appreciated and shared everywhere, and will be on his career highlight reel. Both of those things can be true at the same time.


It’s not Edward’s fault that he’s miles above Collins and it had zero impact on the play.

That’s the definition of marginal contact.

Plus, Collins is IN THE CIRCLE. He literally has no right to be in that space.

I mean, I truly feel bad for Collins, but that’s not an offensive foul. It was just unfortunate.


lol if you can't be in the circle to contest shots, we would be seeing 200+ point scoring games every night.

Some of these are better imo. To me the violence on the rim is a big part of the wow factor. Maybe Russ ingrained that in me.

The eye poke only makes it more impressive, that requires incredible accuracy and body control to hit the target like that. Definitely the dunk of the year.

Well considering Shai can palm Edwards arm and it’s marginal contact, then I see no reason why Edwards having his arm out to protect himself from a player in an illegal position wouldn’t also be marginal contact.

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.

Mozgov

Then Perkins

Then Pau

He's up there, but it's hard to make this claim when Vince Carter existed and most of us saw him with our own eyes.
