At first I thought he pushed off of Shaq to help the elevation, but on the slow mo replay, it looks like he just put his hand on him to not hit him.

Either way, impressive showing.

I was hating on the contest to my buddy, showing him Vince 2000 replays after that stupid Collins dunk. Alrighty over Shaq and the hang? That was lit

Last two dunks have been sick.

One of these days, I want someone to do the "dunk over whatever" dunk feet together. Even if they bend the knees to avoid hitting who/whatever they are jumping over, feet together would be massively impressive.

Revealing the Superman logo while hanging too... one of the dopest dunks in contest history.

With so much bs “showmanship” and props, that’s how you do it.

Damn, wish he would have made it on the first attempt.

Legs had to be dead after the 3rd jump

I honestly can’t wait to see Zion in next years contest. He should try to some throwback Kemp stuff

Thought he was gonna try to kiss the rim after the yam.

I'd still call it a 9. Crazy impressive.

That peacoat probably cost more than I make in 6 months, but that joint ugly.

But Red, Phoenix, the Kings, and Atlanta didn't see it. It could not have been that obvious.

Let's face it, the last not-big Euro to make a difference was ... ?

No Euro had been this hyped. And Suns, Kings, and AtL will go down as the 3 franchises that passed on Luka. They better hope one of the other 3 become superstars themselves.

Passing on Luka may go down as a fireable offense.

Despite the many attempts, still impressed. Not sure why he was deadset on touching Wade on the way by. He could have cleared him without touching him.

50? Nah....

Not going to lie, I was feeling Westbrook's Wesley Snipes look from White Man Can't Jump.

That's a 40.

Dude. Next year is in Chicago right? Bring back Zach. Zach and Zion would be absolutely insane!

Fly as hell.

The 90's return is dope.

Yep. I want Zion, Zach, and a superstar like Giannis in it.

That would get people watching the dunk contest.

Get rid of props beyond a guy wearing a throwback and paying homage to the old school and tell guys you get 2 maybe 3 attempts max on a dunk so guys don’t spend 2 minutes missing attempts

I’m pretty close the Westbrook’s size, minus the muscle, I should open up my boxes in the basement and give him a deal on all my old gear.....

I know I got a ton of starter jackets :lol:
