My two other favorite players are T-Mac and LBJ. Best dunks by those two and best posters by them IYO?

The obvious choice for T-Mac is the dunk on Bradley, but I might have to go with his Toronto dunk against the Bulls. This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTvmTUQnviA


As for LeBron... probably the one where he jumped over John Lucas's head. It's not my personal favorite, but it's basically unprecedented.

What do give it?

For a player with few career dunks, that's a nice one to have under the belt. I liked the celebratory left leg kick spasm too.

Batum jammed all over Chris Kaman (surprise, surprise).

Chase Budinger had a nice dunk on Kris Humphries.

LOL Kung fu Chalmers

I can't get a video of Chase Budinger on Kris Humphries because it's not in the highlights and the game was on NBATV. His dunk was better than Batum's, so I don't want to give it to Nicolas.

[StroShow4]

Never mind, I found it. It isn't as good as I thought it was, though.

Budinger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL71x8UflGs
Batum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rYzDWDTdhQ


Neither one is anything spectacular.

Fun Fact: In the year 2006, Chase Budinger was named co-MVP of the McDonald’s All-American Game (with Kevin Durant) as well as MVP of the US Junior Olympic Volleyball Tournament in the 18 and under division. In 2012, Budinger mostly plays basketball… but he still gets up for the occasional spike, such as this one over the top of Kris Humphries…

Honorable mention to Nicolas Batum.

I thought they were both pretty lame, but at least Bud went with 2 hands.

Durant destroyed Valanciunas. Would have been so much worse if JV didn't realize what was coming to him until the last second. Welcome to the NBA young blood.

Only a few days removed from finding himself in the path of an angry Jeff Teague, Kevin Durant — last season’s playoff poster champ — is on the board! While most of us were busy tracking the presidential election on Tuesday night, Durant was hard at work in Oklahoma City, where he aimed to bring his Thunder back to .500. In doing so, KD issued a formal NBA welcome to Raptors rookie Jonas Valanciunas…

Don’t sweat it, Jonas. Being dunked on is a right of passage, even for the best of ‘em. It’s really no different from your first F in middle school, or your first speeding ticket. Next time you see an athlete flying through the lane, though, just make sure their next stop is the free throw line.

Throwback Poster of the Day: There are three players involved in the following clip: Andre Iguodala, Steven Hunter, and Jeff Foster. Ironically, an uninformed SportsCenter anchor gets only Steven Hunter’s name correct…
