So his hand touching the rim didn't count? Mozgov wasn't a dunk..He dunked the ball this time

That isn't a dunk.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'm hating on it because people are calling it the best dunk of all-time, and he didn't even dunk the ball...

 

[Mexi]

thats a dunk nola

smh. what is the world coming to where we have to analyze if something was a dunk or not?


it was an amazing play bottom line. lets just take a deep breath and enjoy it

 

[The Young One]

That isn't a dunk.

3. basketball to jump up and force (a ball) through a basket

From Dictionary reference...Yes it is a dunk

 

[Mexi]

this is pointless

idk what blake did to make people hate him
if this was javale or dwight or someone, no one would be saying "yeah but it's not even a dunk"

i'll revert back to the narrative.
blake can only dunk, blake is overrated and that play was just a throw in and wasn't that impressive

I hate blake too..I mean who wants to see exciting dunks where he didn't or he barely touched the rim..

 

[Mexi]

the car dunk and the movgov dunk are overrated
movgov as a whole was a nice play dont get me wrong, but like i said, he had better dunks last year
i hate that his defining dunk until last night was Mozgov

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Lol at people who actually think that's a dunk. If yall still think that is a dunk after looking at those pictures yall just don't want yalls mind changed.

He doesn't even have control of the ball in the first shot, much less the second and third. A dunk is when you "slam" a ball through the cylinder from above, and as those pictures show his hand never got in the cylinder.

Although it didn't count the one over Gortat and the left handed oop where his head almost hit the rim are my favorite blake dunks.

Dictionary calling it a dunk>>>You saying it's not a dunk

His Peers aka guys like Lebron saying it's a dunk>>>You saying it's not a dunk

 

[Mexi]

it was a dunk nola

but since you say it's not, then what the hell was it?

 

[Mexi]

it's so irrelevant whatever people want to call it

it was an awesome play that we dont see very often

lets just appreciate it and leave it at that. back to your regular scheduled programming

 

[The Young One]

Yo I just read that KP deleted his twitter account last night...

 

[jonathanlambert33]

A very nasty throw in.

I'm not saying it isn't nasty, not saying that it shouldn't be on ESPN, not saying that it isn't something people shouldn't be talking about, it was sick, but his hand never gets over the cylinder and he has already lost control of the ball when the ball starts to enter the cylinder.

And TYO, Lebron also thinks the crab dribble is legal... :LULZ:

 

[CameronCrazy06]

So if I jump from half court, and throw the ball at the rim and it goes in, did I dunk it?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Well technically you did jump and force the ball into the basket by shooting it.

 

[The Young One]

Like I just don't understand how you don't think it's a dunk..Hand touched the rim..Okay then you can google slam dunk definition and the play fits the first example. It's a dunk

 

[CameronCrazy06]

His hand GRAZED the rim on his follow through after the ball was already THROWN out of his hand...

It's a throw...

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Exactly, it's a very easy concept to understand.

And it wasn't even his hand, his fingertip literally grazed the rim.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The ONLY reason Blake and Dwight are allowed to call that a dunk is because it's Blake and Dwight. If a less popular player did that no one would give it credit for being a good dunk.
