Didn't wow me in actual game speed which is important to me.
Vince's dunk was an immediate wow, he did it off a one dribble vertical leap. Giannis' just didn't strike me as much as something like that should have.
Yeah it didn't wow me either at first when I was watching Sportscenter highlights , but then the guy doing the highlights said " Did you notice Giannis went right over THJ and not around him , it looks like he went around him but he went right over him " then they should the replay from another angle and that definitely had the wow factor. THJ just froze like he couldn't believe what was happening , Giannis owned him
With Slow motion/Replay it's definitely an All-Time great dunk. I doubt this will be on highlight reels 10/20 years from now though. There are a lot of factors other posters have mentioned but for me it just wasn't immediately attention grabbing.

Spectacular dunk but not top 5. May not even be top 5 alley oop dunks. Vince alone has some ridiculous alley oops that I would rank higher but to me there is nothing and I mean NOTHING that will ever top Gerald Green's alley oop against the Rockets.

that one handed catch and alley oop finish vince had against the Clippers is the best alleyoop dunk of ALL TIME.
plus Kidd to Vince alleyoops are insane... there are like a 100...
not a 100 but you get my point.

Why do guys duck for these? Stand straight, and bring your elbow up to protect yourself. He can worry about how he lands. Won't happen again.
I mean, am I the only one who sees this as big time disrespectful?

Giannis didn't even know Jr. was there. Wasn't like he was out to ruin his life.

Mea culpa. Upon further review, Jr slid under him as he was in the air. I don't think either had a clue Freak would end up going over him.
