that last one from behind the backboard was sick, and the one where he bounces is back off the board is nasty..if he does those two he should be in the finals

Good find.

I'm thinking he should do one along the lines of that one he did toward the beginning.

Throw it up so that it comes down and takes one bounce. At the peak of the bounce tip it off the backboard and then slam it.

I don't recall seeing that before. Anyone else remember one like that?


By the way, you think they could have possibly slipped Vitamin Water in there some more?

Dwight was cruising through those.
That left-hand tapper off the glass dunk is NICE and needs to be used in the 1st Round.
The Iggy behind the backboard dunk is also crazy (needs to duck a lot though).

Anyone else think he may try to take off from the free throw line?

theres no proof he can pull it off. I can say that I dunk from half court and point the camera at my feet to make it look possible. Doesn't mean I actually did it. just like Moon's hype video doesn't mean anything either.

I really like that he finishes the dunk from behind the glass with his left hand...that's sick versatility. Those are great preliminary dunks...and he'll have to come with even more in the final rounds.

I'm not going to look at the video yet. I like for it to be a surprise for All-star game. But if he gets robbed again like last year. I may have to look at it again.

And any news on raising the rim to 12 feet?

:bowdown:

The two dunks they slowed down need to be in the first round... the bounce off the back board off the alley oop and the bounce off the back of the backboard...

Kiss the rim in the finals...

IMO, the kiss the rim dunk isn't that great. He has to put a twist to it IMO for judges to give him a good score.

IMO it's his signature dunk, it has an aura about it because a) no-one else can do it (that we know of) and b) it hasn't been seen before yet in an official setting.

IMO if he goes through the entire contest without doing it there will be some ppl who feel let down by its absence.
