dunk was dope but people hyperventalating over a 7 footer dunking over a 6'3 pg is pathetic. if he did that over greg monroe or andre drummond I'd be impressed.

As someone said I think it's more that everyone is hyping up this dunk as if it's something so amazing...we've seen far more vicious dunks, and a big dunking over a small isn't that much to get that excited about.

Still :damn:'ed at the dunk tho :jawalrus:

exactly. it's the culture we live in right now though. everybody wants an excuse to get on twitter and yap about something.

dunk was great and if I seen it id definitely be like :damn: but that's about it. I was in the car today on the way to work and listening to the radio commentators creaming themselves over it talking about it's the dunk that will "define 2013" then I got to work and watched it and was like :childplease:

blake over mozgov, perkins, and gasol were waaayyyyyyy more vicious than this....and that's coming from someone who hates blake.

I can see where he is coming from with his article. But sometimes you gotta stand up and applaud a great play no matter if it is done by a mediocre player or not. I commend Knight for trying to contest the dunk but sometimes you have to pick and choose your battles.

Outraged that BrandonKnight being ridiculed/shamed for doing what supposed to do: Help on D! Monroe lost DJordan. BK had guts to get in way.

I'm sick of Clips getting away w/ leading w/ left forearm or elbow before dunking. THAT'S AN OFFENSIVE FOUL. But won't call it & ruin dunk.

Clips are really good at dunking and celebrating. Not so sure how good they are at winning playoff games.

:snoop:

As predictable as this is, the predictability amplifies how stupid it is. Mind-numbing.

Who said anything about DeAndre's ability? What a horrible strawman argument. Dude loves manufacturing outrage where it doesn't exist.

The fact is people are slurping the dunk. The dunk is more revered than a players actual skill level and thats a real problem in the league and has been for years.

Right. Dudes like Jeremy Evans , Terrence Ross, and Gerald Green get more ink and coverage than guys like Bron, CP3, and Kobe. :sitdown:

Make a top 10 NBA list then tell me which of those dudes is most revered for their dunking ability. You really think this through before you hit post?

i get the jokes, make knight where a helmet to the next practice... whatever... but knight is a warrior a guy you want on your team and will be a great pro... instead of giving up a play he made an effort to get a stop

Those guys don't get any run.

Why exactly is Blake Griffin a household name? It damn sure ain't his great gameplay.
