Joel Embiid posterizes Jarret Allen... potential dunk of the year?!

Allen fell on Embiid on the previous play and Embiid tweaked his back.

Clearly his back is fine.

Disgusting

Potential dunk of the year!!

Can't wait for 76ers vs nets. Embiid is going to try to poster Simmons every chance he gets.

Why does Embiid fall so much though? Weak lower body? He’s very AD like in that regard. Nice dunk.

Pretty sure he's been trained to fall that way to prevent unnecessary stress on his feet after his surgeries.

I hadn’t heard that, but it’s believable.

Might as well be Deandre Jordan on Brandon Knight

Good dunk. Not close to dunk of the year.

Allen's soft ass rebound attempt.
100% deserves to get dunked on.

DeAndre's was better, but the hate on that dunk was that Knight is tiny.

Jarret Allen is an allstar 7 foot center. Also, this was a payback dunk for the hard foul on Embiid the previous play.

it would have been violence had there been rim & hand contact, but there wasnt, so its not impressive to me

i dont even count this as a dunk

Bigger booty = higher gravitational pull.

It's also why Lebron's "fade-aways" are more like "fade-downs". :lol:

Gotta agree with hand rim contact thing. To me it's a requirement for a good dunk. Gotta draw the line on that somewhere.

Dunk of last two centuries. Maybe even three.

Embiid really likes taking it to Allen, he always has that 'you seriously think you can guard me?' thing with him. Wonder if he was extra geared up for that dunk since Allen's become an all-star on a successful team.

He hasn't been playing particularly aggressively so far tonight, though, so maybe this was just casual tomahawking cuz why not.

Very good but it has to be a dunk for it to be the dunk of the year. Westbrook over Gobert is still my favorite.
