Random thought: every time I see a Steve Francis highlight I think of the comparisons I sometimes see between he and Westbrook. As far as entertainment value, they are not in the same universe. Franchise was just

Yeah, I guess I'd have to see a 2013 compilation but on the surface, it sort of feels like we're in a dunking lull of sorts. I mean, we still have some absolutely incredible dunks, but it seems like the innovative dunkers are lacking a bit this year. The Desmond Masons, Jason Richardsons, and Vince Carters.

But on the same hand, as I said all that, I began thinking of the Russell Westbrooks, Paul Georges, and Blake Griffins and whatnot. It's tough to say. '03 was also looking at all-time dunk guys like prime versions of Baron Davis, Ricky Davis, Kobe Bryant, and Steve Francis. There were nasty dunkers doing nasty things everywhere. Now it seems some of the nasty dunkers are aging a bit and it hasn't fully turned over to a deep new breed. Even a lot of the great current dunkers sometimes seem to opt for the basic over the awesome in many occasions.

Is the dunk at the end by Stoudemire, where you got the Marbury face from?

One of the few things Canadian sports networks got right is court cuts.

And I agree, There were so many potential 10/10 in that highlight reel.

[StroShow4]

Currently averaging just a smidgeon under 15 PPG, Dion Waiters is the NBA’s second-leading scorer amongst rookies. As remarkable as that may seem, the fourth-overall pick is taking nearly as many shots as he’s scoring points — 14.3 to 14.8 — which has led to a fair amount of justifiable criticism. Personally, I can see both sides of the Dion Waiters argument. On one hand, it takes a certain degree of offensive ability to get 14 shots off each and every game. On the other hand, Waiters chooses to fire over four threes per contest despite his underwhelming accuracy (32.6%). Obviously, his shot selection could use a little refinement. That said, he was born in ’91 and plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Somebody has to shoot, right?

No matter your opinion of Waiters’ rookie season, I think there is one thing we can all agree on — the 22-year-old sure does has a tendency to find his way to the highlight reel. In his latest flash of brilliance, Waiters drove to the rack and finished with authority in the vicinity of Derrick Favors, one of the league’s best young shot blockers.

Well, that was certainly a high-percentage shot! Maybe start doing more of this, Dion.

8 imo. It was a poster and it was flashy.

Favors wasn't in good position, so that was my reasoning.

[chips93]

kinda underwhelming

people were acting like he posterized favors

[Rake2204]

Not much of a poster (KG made no contact and was off to the side) but I thought I'd support my Pistons with a rare Brandon Knight one hander through traffic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKEMMmW2jDs

[StroShow4]

Yeah, that was pretty suspect. Moe Harkless dunked on Chris Kaman but it was only like a 6: http://youtu.be/MaskI_-NUN4?t=1m11s

[andremiller07]

Cousins got Robin Lopez roughly a 6/6.5

[iDunk]

SMH refs took away a pretty nice transition poster by STAT on Wallace, he took 3 steps .. but still.

[StroShow4]

Just a heads up, I'll be updating tomorrow for 1/20 and 1/21. The dunk that's going to win for 1/20 isn't worth its own post.



Also, Al Horford destroyed Greg Stiemsma twice.
