One of those Blake Griffin throw it through the ring lay ins. Crazy impressive athletically. Not a dunk for DOTY purposes.

Hand needs to be on the rim for a dunk.

I’m also fine with them not calling it, but this is definitely an offensive foul. Extended arm to the face before the defender makes contact:

Cool dunk, but a clear offensive foul. But eh, it's the NBA, entertainment over everything. It's a minor thing compared to the constant carrying and traveling.

Where is the ‘up’-part in layup here? If anything it's a laydown (which some may also refer to as a ‘dunk’).

You have to grab the rim. This was a beautiful almost dunk.

What does Cambridge know about dunking? No Englishman has ever dunked a basketball.

That’s an Ant one.

He made the FT too.

There's an inherent power at the end of every real dunk.

That power is not just the force required to throw the ball through the hoop. That power at the culmination of every real dunk is grabbing the rim.

Without it, it's too soft. It lacks the required "ending force" to seal the deal. It's incomplete, like kissing your date on her lips with your mouth hermetically shut. Most would still call that a "kiss", but those who know know you didn't really kiss her. You were right there but didn't "stick the landing".

Buddy I’m doing all this on my phone and even I can tell this is an obvious offensive foul.

A mix of Wade and MJ.

Offensive foul ? Snowflakes everywhere...
