Iguodala not winning it was easily the worst snub

Off the top, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1996, 2004, 2006, 2010, 2016. Have to go back and see some of the other ones I kinda forgot about. I always thought MJ & Dominique should still have 2 slam dunk titles but in different years.

2000 Vince

looking back at it he did have some pretty awful dunks that they just gave him a perfect score or near it just because of who he was


he did the exact same dunk for his 2nd attempt except did a 180 windmill


shoulda gotten a 30 for that dunk


then the elbow dunk that should have also been a 30 ( which was a total rip off of kobe a year or 2 prior and isn't even really that hard to pull off. i've seen hundreds of people do it )


and his final dunk ( a failed foul line dunk by about 2 full feet inside the line ) with no flavor whatsoever. anyone in the nba with any dunking ability can pull that off

another 30




i think he had 2 good dunks ... the 360 windmill and the bounce between the legs

2011 is the worst recent one for me from memory... Ibaka & Derozan both looked better than Blake but got almost 0 hype.

People were mad that Lavine repeated a couple years ago against Aaron Gordon.

2004 and 2006 are literal opposites. Give JRich 2006 rules, he wouldve won. Give nate 2004 rules, igouldala would have won. I hate how the rules kept changing year after year.

To be clear who I think should

1997 - watch it again, Kobe had a weak first round and shouldn't have even advanced. Ham was much better.

Nah, Nate Robinson got the crowd real hype with that dunk over Spud

[LostCause]

Aaron Gordon losing to Lavine was a travest

I also wasn't that big on Nique sometimes. Seeing the same windmills with slight variation got old real fast

re-watched it

Kobe was the best by far
