      And dwight howard giving high scores on basic dunks made it worst. 🤦

      How do you know this even happened? How do you know that you aren't experiencing everything for the first time. Maybe 2016 is a memory uploaded to you. How would you know? Time is a flat circle. Everything is always happening all the time. Life is simultaneously real and not real. Embrace the unknown....
      But yeah for real its pretty gnar 2016 was 10 years ago 🤯

      @IntroBird-s3h1b Month ago +11

      Zach had a more physically difficult dunks but AG had the best creativity in his dunks. AG just got out dunked at the end. If there was a 60 score, it would have ended on under both legs over mascot plus hoverboard dunk by AG.

    • @abeinzamland
      @abeinzamland Month ago +9

      the dunk contest was finished after his second dunk. I hate it how the bench all hyped Lavine so much after his every dunk and acted like Gordons was nothing special. They did it on purpose, but fate had other plans for Gordon he won the championship and was the one of the player who contributed the most in getting that championship. Lavine can have his pity trophy

      It shouldn’t have “ended right there” but I agree that was the best dunk of the contest. And AG should’ve got a 50 on his last dunk

      Windmill from the freethrow isnt a 50? stop it

    • @pizzapizza2k
      @pizzapizza2k Month ago +13

      ​@jonaxkariukihe did the same dunk 3 times just in different forms so no it's not a 50🤦🏿‍♂️

    • @lovaboy57
      @lovaboy57 Month ago +5

      @rayneozier - It honestly should have… Lavine's first dunk in the final was a questionable 50.

    • @rayneozier
      @rayneozier Month ago +2

      @lovaboy57 I feel you. I personally feel like they were all 50s but AG over the mascot was the best individual dunk. Everyone always says “AG was robbed. He should’ve won”. I don’t know if he should’ve won, but he definitely shouldn’t have lost.

      @plumeria66 I’m not really implying I ever watched him enough to critique his shooting. The only time I’ve ever thrown on the Nuggets is for big games and the playoffs. I only really paid attention when he played for Orlando and always thought his defense was underrated. That’s about as far as my opinion of him goes.

      @sta@stanyeeast3508I have, and he dunked a lot, but he wasn't doing anything CLOSE to what these guys, past and present were doing.
      Plus, he was on that "first try" mess, too.
      He and D Wade both robbed him.

    • @stanyeeast3508
      @stanyeeast3508 Month ago +1

      ​@brentduanefoster bro, neither was damn near any other big in the history of basketball...it's why they don't enter dunk contests and Dwight Howard's shit was wack, but they gave him big man leeway, even when dude literally did a layup...but the point is, you said Shaq's dunks were "so basic" and that's a ridiculous statement lol

    • @brentduanefoster
      @brentduanefoster Month ago

      @stanyeeast3508Exactly, so where does he get off criticizing attempts that he himself couldn't make, and KNOWS he couldn't.
      Don't misunderstand me, he was still on of the most dominant bigs in the game, but even that had its limitations.
      They were basic. They only got the attention they got because of how big he was, and the couple of times he brought down the whole backboard.
