They are running out of ideas for the All Star weekend. I might not even watch it to be honest, if it's anything like last year I will fall sleep.

False, under the new format, we have the potential for four winners!

I clicked this thread expecting to see Lebron performing any dunk, since you'll never see that in the dunk contest.

Cartwheel has been done before... albeit, terribly:

Re: 27 Dunks Never Seen Before In The NBA Dunk Contest...
the whole 360/540 degree dunks are misleading
in any of the 360 dunks, the man takes off 90 degree's before he jumps by turning his body, look at his feet position and body direction at take off
in the 540 dunk, he does a 180 after the ball has been thrown down so it shouldn't count IMO
still ... impressive to watch

I believe it's also worth seeing where a player's feet land as well. Many times I've seen folks attempt to withhold a 360 label because a player turns his feet prior to takeoff. Unfortunately, off two feet, that's the only way to create the torque necessary to induce a spin.
Many times though, a player's landing is overlooked. Players often finish facing away from the bucket, close to where their feet were initially planted. As such, that's why I've never really gotten into the "it's not a 360, it's a 270" debate. Then again, perhaps we are better off ridding of the degree calculations and just calling it a spinny.

Re: 27 Dunks Never Seen Before In The NBA Dunk Contest...
I have a feeling some of the dunk contest participants watch these "never been done" type of videos..Wall and PG did like 3-4 of these dunks just this past year, a couple during the group round..and during the individual round Wall did the reverse pump over the guy holding the ball, and PG did the 360 through the legs. Then you have Wiggins who does the 360 behind the back seemingly before every game..

28. Windmill from the FT line.
29. Alley-Oop from the FT line.
30. Between the legs from the FT line.
All 50's and never done before in NBA, James White did them all pre-NBA.
This can only be done by uber distance leapers/one legged leapers.... right now in the NBA only Lebron & Zach Lavine are such.... Bron wont enter though, so Zach is the only hope.
