The dunk by Brandon was not impressive. The steal, handles, and court awareness from Drummond that led to the dunk in the first video is UNREAL!

I disagree that that wasn't impressive on BK7. Hes dunking on someone 9 inches taller, who also hits him on the arm.



I dont know how you see this....

Pau was scrambling on defense, out of position, and just tried to make a play on the ball.

Even if you consider that dunking on someone, It maybe the most unimpressive dunk 'over' someone in the history of basketball.

I still hold my position that the steal, handles, and court vision by Dre was more impressive. Anyone else agree?

I know the steal and handles and body control by Dre is more impressive. But wht does that have to do with Brandon Knight and Deandre Jordan?

^^

Are we arguing which dunk is better? The one where Jordan is dunking over Knight or Knight dunking 'over' Pau?

Well, Knight should feel a lot more embarrassed for the same reason.

Not quite,any real basketball fan will look at knight and see it took balls to do what he did,and hes not drummin up all this media attention on a weak dunk and hes just started out in this league,it took this long for deandre to get some attention and he runs with THIS LOL

At the end of the day I'd rather have a guy willing to step in and try to make a play than a guy who steps out of the way matador style. Knight was never going to realistically stop DeAndre from finishing that, but it's his intentions that matter. You don't stop and think "Oh shoot 7 footer about to dunk the ball" when you are about to make a play. It's all instincts. Some guys will step out of the way, competitors will try to make a play.

:lol:

Most non-detroit fans knew who Jordan was compared to Knight before the dunk. Jordan was part of lob-city and Knight was that kid that got his ankles broke by Kyrie, That is what they were most known for to most casual fans. Considering Jordan is a second rounder and Knight is a Lotto pick, it's far worse for Knight that he is most known for getting dunked on. Alton Lister anyone?

Alton Lister anyone?[/quote who cares if kyrie broke knights ankles he did the same to kobe,rose,and all that still dosent make deandre any less pathetic for acting like dunking on knight is still some big thing.
