Kilganon was never the king. He almost always lost when he went against top dunkers. He is creative, but he can't hit his best dunks in contest and relies WAY too much on boost dunks
Greattt contest. I had isaiah he went nuts. Crazy to see where he has come from to now being imo the best dunker in the world. And salute to jordan. Been following him too. For years. Has become a technician. Definitely a 1 foot great. I have him right there with flight white and i will even say lebron
This round needed clearer rules. I was confused btwn needing to make more dunks in a certain period of time vs nice dunks. Clearly Isaiah won on both but still. How was it not 5-0. I dont really get it. No disrespect to Jordan
Seeing people in this actually arguing Jordan was even close, and did some creative masterpiece makes me understand what just happened in the US election.
For those pointing solid training of isaiah as to how he won over jordan, y'all gotta take in account that jordan suffered a tendon rupture couple months ago,, I believe both performed crazy but jordan could've outperformed isaiah if not that injury.. congrats to isaiah man, crazy dunks, love the video🔥🔥🔥
I agree that both brought High Level dunks but Yes Jordan's were badass but Isaiah won that no question. There should be no 3-2. If it were a 50pt scale for the session I'd probably say 50-45 Jumping over someone standing under the rim is not hard...it looks cool but anyone that can dunk decent can do that. Everything Jordan did Rivera did something similar but slightly better.
We have to be honest… Rivera’s dunks was better his bounce is crazy 🤯 Jordan kept trying to make a case for himself but nah bro shouldn’t have been that close.
I know I am in the minority here, but I think Jordan's dunks were a bit more creative than Isiah's. I like things that I have never seen before. With that being said, I am unsure exactly what the rules were for this round so I do not know who the winner should have been. Both of their "routines/sets?" were 50s to me so that would be a tie, but they didn't give them a score for this round.
Isaiah had too big of an advantage with one upping the dunks as well as time management. This should be 1 dunk at a time back and forth just like the NBA contests. Judges can better judge difficulty and misses and dunkers can give it their all each time without having a disadvantage for any reason
Having two of the best dunkers in the world in a contest on a low rim is absolutely bananas and is kind of disrespectful for the competitors. It's like having a prime Bolt vs Gatling matchup on the track and making them run in flip-flops. This is such wasted potential that I'm actually in a loss for words😶
I respect Jordan's abilities a great deal but i just feel like there's a much more limited bag of tricks for one footed dunkers.... and i think it shows here.... Growing up i always like dunkers who could do either one foot or two with similar high level.... makes for a more complete finisher in game. Also, something that has 'irked' me since forever is how there is always an emphasis on peoples reactions to dunks.... it's like 95% of the time it is always exaggerated and fake.... we've all already seen these dunks before many times by now, the phony shock and awe is stale.... probably why i prefer simple dunks done with hangtime and style over most stuff.
The final concept is so trash No wonder isiah use his big dunks on semi The finals got us watching normal dunks (in their skill level ofc) We want crazy dunk off in finals, not some practice routine
I used to always call Rivera trash. He never wins when I watch. Now, after this battle, I said that if he won, I wouldn’t call him trash anymore. He definitely was great. He proved me wrong.
Isaiah Rivera lift weights, this makes him a lot better than Jordan Sutherland. Jordan Sutherland needs to hit the gym and gain more muscle. Isaiah has a 50.5” inch vertical. He deserves the win because his hard work pays off. I still respect Jordan Sutherland because he did dunks that most NBA players can’t do.
now this is what I was waiting for! two of the best dunkers in this tournament
Both of them are incredible, but Isaiah was just on another level!
It's the elevation combined with the technical difficulty
The elevation on Isaiah's second dunk was breathtaking!
Had well above the rim on a law behind the back!!! 😲
This was NOT a close contest... Sorry Jordan... Rivera was better! great final
Man Isaiah is the new KING. Jordan kilganon gotta pass the torch. all hail king rivera
Kilganon was never the king. He almost always lost when he went against top dunkers. He is creative, but he can't hit his best dunks in contest and relies WAY too much on boost dunks

We need Donovan Hawkins bro
True!!!
I know he's got a 50" but does he have the creativity?
@@YunisRajab he’s creative enough, but his power is what makes it so good to watch
Shoutout to the dunkers man. Southerland vs Rivera is always must watch tv. Big ups to both of them for splitting the cash price too
Can we get these two in the NBA All-star dunk contest??😮
This round needed clearer rules. I was confused btwn needing to make more dunks in a certain period of time vs nice dunks. Clearly Isaiah won on both but still. How was it not 5-0. I dont really get it. No disrespect to Jordan
Whoever voted for Jordan needs to get their eyes checked
Youre just biased lol
i love isaiah rivera but it was definitely close, jordan went crazy as well
You forget Jordan won the highest dunk with an injured hand, check it ya self son
By this I thought u meant Jordan won it I almost roasted this channel...well deserved isaiah
Honestly it could’ve went either way. Both were phenomenal!
Seeing people in this actually arguing Jordan was even close, and did some creative masterpiece makes me understand what just happened in the US election.
I don’t think you understand…. Jordan Sutherland is the greatest one foot dunker of ALL TIME !
The GREATEST DUNK CONTEST IVE SEEN IN MY LIFE ….. and I’ve been watching since team flight brothers with tdub ….
This rim was low asffff
I actually like Jordan's dunk style but Isaiah had more tricks in his bag
You guys gotta add this to the dunk battle playlist. You cant forget to add the finale 😂
The Puerto Rican Airbender #1 ✨💵🏆💵✨
Rivera on another level
8:43 Isaiah Rivera The last dunk... let's go home!!! ladies and gentlemen!!! let's go home!! it's over. 😂😂😂👨🏻🦱🏆
I remember .. in the first EVER DUNK LEAGUE . Isiah was getting hung .. BRO WENT AND OUT IN WORK HE DESERVES EVERYTHING HE GETS 🙏
For those pointing solid training of isaiah as to how he won over jordan, y'all gotta take in account that jordan suffered a tendon rupture couple months ago,, I believe both performed crazy but jordan could've outperformed isaiah if not that injury.. congrats to isaiah man, crazy dunks, love the video🔥🔥🔥
This Isaiah Rivera guy is incredible.
i was actually flabbergasted when I saw Jordan's face at the start 0:42 🤣
That was a crazy final but Isaiah did deserve it
For sure you don't get to see such perfection💯 in NBA dunk contests
Isaiah had the best session ever! 🔥
Isaiah dunk super silky smooth af
They match the style of Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavine.
… Except Isaiah doesn’t like push-offs nearly as much as AG.
Your comment gave me chills, that s so true
Boricua one more victory!!!! Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Shout out to Isiah ! Tho i think that Donovan slim shady is going to bring the ruckus !
I agree that both brought High Level dunks but Yes Jordan's were badass but Isaiah won that no question. There should be no 3-2. If it were a 50pt scale for the session I'd probably say 50-45
Jumping over someone standing under the rim is not hard...it looks cool but anyone that can dunk decent can do that. Everything Jordan did Rivera did something similar but slightly better.
show us
That was a good one. Would appreciate if they did 3 craaazy dunks instead of 8-9 less crazy ones, but that' all good, great display.
Rivera’s dunks were better, harder, and more consistent than Jordan’s were. It wasn’t even close.
I'm calling this an Isaiah Rivera victory at the 2 minute mark of this video. Now let's see if I am correct. I'll be shocked if I'm not.
We have to be honest… Rivera’s dunks was better his bounce is crazy 🤯
Jordan kept trying to make a case for himself but nah bro shouldn’t have been that close.
GOD LEVEL FINALE.
If only Tyler Curry had Rivera's work ethic
That aint 10ft rim
this was peak dunking
What i can say is that Jordan Sutherland got a great after career in being a dunk Jude or commentating.
NBA should allow them to compete in the Dunk contest. They will definitely resurrect the contest which has been dead since the Lavine-Gordon showdown.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 the Airbender!!!!!
YES SIRrrrrr💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
tbh Za could have done a bit better with more difficult dunks but he planned well to balance it out for both the contest and watching experience
Should have been a sweep for Rivera
Who r these Judges????????????
#PUERTORICANAIRVENDER💪💯😎🇵🇷👊👊👊👊🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷😎💪💪💯💯
Let's go, IR!
Iconic

Mr.Rivera u did not have to go crazy like that 😢
Spectacular stuff for sure but the dunks don't have the same oomph when it's a 9ft rim!?
It’s a 7 ft rim
More like 9’ 6”
they should alternate dunks. consecutive dunks by one person takes away from the battle
HIS VERT QICKNESS..
Yeah Zay deserved this win
If going second has an advantage, why not go at the same time, record it and have the judges decide?
Was the rim 10? That was epic by both
Which one from the Judges are Dunker?
Quantity over quality
Isaiah had too big of an advantage with one upping the dunks as well as time management. This should be 1 dunk at a time back and forth just like the NBA contests. Judges can better judge difficulty and misses and dunkers can give it their all each time without having a disadvantage for any reason
Solid training now look at that gap
It wasn’t close Zay won by far
I thought Isaiah quit/retired from contest dunking after Dunk League III, no?(Because of judge scoring)
he could have, seeing that this same footage in this video can be found posted on other channels from well over a year ago
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Height of rim?
Isaiah Rivera atejau pamaciau nugalejau

this is 10ft lol
@@nightshade897bro …. I’m trippin … that was 10 right ???!!
LOW RIM, cmon.
Yessir
Video is 1 year old!!!
i think it was a tie but i guess u cant tie with 5 judges
meanwhile on NBA Dunk Contest >.< lol
Why use a 9ft rim and not a 7ft rim? If you really wanna go crazy, go all the way lol
The rim is low. This is also from 2022.
Bro recording on bandlab?😂
when humans fly
The rican dude was much better and i didn't see his dunks yet
Editing of this whole series was kinda lackin. This is also like 3 years old I feel like lol why post it now
Yeah wasn't even close
I wonder what Dem workouts look like
they gotta fire whoever does these intros with that horrible filter on it
The finals format is so dumb. Just burning out the dunkers in the first round.
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

Ya’ll crazy. Jordan did way more dunks with creativity and just much more difference's then other dunkers.
A lot of Jordan Kilganon dunks attempted and missed. Just sayin.
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
The final concept is so trash
No wonder isiah use his big dunks on semi
The finals got us watching normal dunks (in their skill level ofc)
We want crazy dunk off in finals, not some practice routine
This is not impressive as this rim is set only to 9 feet.
What a bad format. They had gold and tuned it into trash
NO HE LOST TO ME
Volume was the winning metric here. Jordan skill set on two of his dunks surpassed anything Rivera did
I used to always call Rivera trash. He never wins when I watch. Now, after this battle, I said that if he won, I wouldn’t call him trash anymore. He definitely was great. He proved me wrong.
But this is on 9ft rim
It seem like it
Listen if Jordan have the same vert as Isaiah.Jordan will kill Isaiah
Isaiah Rivera lift weights, this makes him a lot better than Jordan Sutherland. Jordan Sutherland needs to hit the gym and gain more muscle. Isaiah has a 50.5” inch vertical. He deserves the win because his hard work pays off. I still respect Jordan Sutherland because he did dunks that most NBA players can’t do.
@ hey I said If he has the same vert as Isaiah
@ He can jump higher than Isaiah Rivera if he hits the gym to gain more muscle.
Rivera copying jordan kilganon. Sutherland wins on more creativity.
Nah dude was robbed
Can’t wait to watch 17 seconds of dunking and 13:20 of unnecessary editing and video production.
Honestly too close to call
no it werent
