I was just listening to the Cavs/Hornets broadcast and they mentioned that Rubio dunked in a game for the first time last year, after going ten years in the NBA without dunking. I checked B-R, and sure enough he is credited with a dunk in 2021.
I've seen Ricky dunk a few times, including as a 15-year-old in Spain, but I somehow missed this rare NBA dunk of his. Does anyone have the video of it? I was unable to locate it on youtube.

Ok.. no video. Does anyone have access to Stathead on basketball reference and look up which game this was in?

Looks like the first month is free plus discounts for being a student or military.

He's 6'4 and a professional athlete, he's definitely capable of dunking at least every time he gets an open fast break opportunity. I'm surprised he hasn't dunked more often than that.

rofl... what the heck decided to attribute that as a reverse dunk? A joke from the score keeper or computers?
Maybe the broadcast team should have asked Ricky when the last time he actually dunked was ...

You can also go into the specific player's page on NBA.com and look under shooting stats and you'll be able to click on the shot type to see a video of the shot:

unnecessary sweating + increased risk of man bun coming undone = dunking thoughts rejected

Now that we have this video capability, nba.com should give us a means to report a play as being incorrectly logged.

LOL
I always thought I would never be able to dunk, but tomorrow I'm going to the basketball court and I won't leave until I make a reverse dunk, too.

Man, he threw that thing down with some authority! LOL
On a serious note, good work finding the clip.
