People forget that Paul George is another big what if at the time as DROSE. PG got injured around the same time as DROSE and never came back the same again. He's still playing well but we missed out on what could've been with him. That dunk on Birdman, along with Scottie Pippen's dunk on Ewing will forever be my playoff favorites. Those were vicious dunks filled with some payback behind them. Both players they dunked on were talking shit prior to the game starting.
Pippen low key has the most disrespectful step over of all time. People talk about AIs on Lue but Pip literally dunked on Ewing, pushed him down and walked over his head while staring at him, then went and told Spike Lee to sit his ass down 😂😂😂😂😂
I'll never forgive Ewing's teammates for not paying that back. The last guy on the Knicks bench should have been coming for Pip's head after stepping over him
No local commentators that can vary (or be unenthusiastic if on the receiving end), just guys like Marv and Harlan at the absolute pinnacle of the craft
He was doing that stuff as an old man by NBA standards, Manu’s truly one of the most underrated players of all time in my opinion. The rings, the gold medal, the fact he got drafted so late… can’t believe people say he didn’t deserve to be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
@@franzreyes846 Injuries are part of the game. Giannis hyperextended his knee and instead of being out for a month he was back after a few days, having one of the most amazing final series ever. However, playing the hypothetical game, yes, Bucks could still get past the Nets. KD was out of this world, but having the ball at every single possession was what kept him in rhythm. And don't forget that Nets defense was better without Kyrie and Harden. But yeah, Nets might have been able to take the series, the thing is though that this didn't happen and this team failed miserably, with or without injuries.
I started watching basketball around 2013 and that Paul George dunk was one of the first poster dunks I've ever seen live. I'll never forget that dunk, one of the best.
I was in basic training with no tv or cell phones back then. My brother WROTE me about Baron’s dunk. At the time, it was the best he’d ever seen in real time. I couldn’t believe that GSW upset Dallas (#1 seed) that year, which my brother also told me about. 6:26
I'm from the 80's and 90's. Everyone knows from that time that Kemp was the most savage. There are some we didn't see here, and that I cannot find on the web that are so spectacular, it's hard to describe the thrill.
That Nets announcer I wanna say Ian Eagle is his name goated with the little on the fly phrases 🤣 Kawhilight is fire, and then later in the video he hits us with the Ja-Breaker💀
Your channel makes great compilation videos! I love how you let the audio trail from the previous clip into the next. Great highlight selections, masterfully done, thank you! 🙏
@@dmtc6913 haha yeah man. That's a great experiment... hard to think of a better one. Him and Payton were so good man, some of those Kemp alley oops... Glad I lived through that era
I knew Scottie would be on top of this list. The Knicks vs the Bulls was as much of a classic as the battles against the Pistons. Pippen shoving Ewing down, stepping over him and he went to Spike Lee to tell him to sit yo ass down. The intensity is unmatched
I was in the building for the Baron Davis one. They had a decibel measure on the basket and it read over 100 which is the equivalent of standing next to a jet engine when it takes off. So loud I would plug my ears some times.
Westbrook 100% fan but mannnn that Jr. Smith game I wasn't suppose to watch and I somehow started watching it. Boyyy that dunk will forever be legendary
Love the Baron Davis dunk over AK-47 Andrei Kirilenko, but what really puts it over the top, even more so than the deafening crowd of Oracle Arena, is the Dre and Snoop 'Next Episode' music that comes on. Perfection.
0:15 Giannis only needed one dribble to get from his opponents three point line to dunk the ball. He might be the only person EVER capable of doing this in a game, absurd
I still can't believe that Giannis landed on his feet on the 7:15 one let alone actually throwing it down. CP3 hacked tf out of him, legit could've been so scary if he didn't catch himself like that. Not even trying to hate on CP3 either he was just trying to save the game, just pointing out how poorly that couldve gone if Giannis wasn't such a freak athlete.
Most iconic in my opinion, Kobe to Shaq, Pippen over Ewing and #1 has to be Kemp with the dunk and point after 💀 so cold blooded, such a clean dunk and it was just so iconic
I would argue that the celebrations are even more iconic than the dunks. And these days the refs are so quick to call a tech that we’re not getting as many great celebrations anymore
Y’all can talk about that PG dunk all you want but low key I’m happy that happened as a Miami fan….PG used all of his emotional energy after that dunk. The series was all Heat after that moment.
That Paul George dunk over the Birdman 10 years ago will always forever be iconic I swear
Sheesh! That was my favorite version of pg. before the injury. Viscous
Hell yeah
for sure
That PG versione is my favorite player ever

Shaq’s is better
@@computerman91. in a vacuum it’s just a simple alley oop pips was better
@@stephbetter3806 no not the iconic Kobe alley oop. The one where Shaq dunks on the white dude then completely pushes him down afterwards.
@@computerman91. that’s not playoffs right?
Shoutout to the announcers for making these moments that much more special, Kevin Harlan, Mike Breen, Marv Albert. Memorable commentary is vital.
I love it every time Kevin Harlen says “Buckle up for KOBE BRYANT!” as you hear the slam & the crowd goes “OHHH”, legendary.
Underrated comment
“A MAJOR KAWHILIGHT” and “A JA-BREAKER” easily some of my all-time favorite calls. Swear Ian Eagle is the most underrated play-by-play guy
The dunks are iconic but omggg the commentators' calls are just as iconic. I LOVEEE ITTT
No local commentators that can vary (or be unenthusiastic if on the receiving end), just guys like Marv and Harlan at the absolute pinnacle of the craft
Manu’s dunk on Chris Bosh will always amaze me. He had so much talent, and the spurs would never have had so much success without him
He was doing that stuff as an old man by NBA standards, Manu’s truly one of the most underrated players of all time in my opinion. The rings, the gold medal, the fact he got drafted so late… can’t believe people say he didn’t deserve to be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
@@aquatazer he would have been all nba every year on his own team. I think he’s one of the best all around players ever.
he was so old then, I was shocked by that burst, leap and throwdown
"Bryant...TO SHAQ!"
forever iconic
That Kemp point will always be one of the coldest moves
COLD as ICE 🧊
Lister Blister
I love how he points then the camera pans to Alton Lister on the ground. Gets me every time.
"LEBRON JAMES WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE" killed me
Ong Kevin Harlan funny 😭
@Nicolas Martinez that's one of the top ones fr
"Knocked away and stolen by Holiday!" This will always be my all-time favorite highlight as a Bucks fan. That playoff run was magical.
Real talk, not even hating, do you think you guys would have beaten the Nets in that postseason if the Big Three were all healthy?

@@PA1NA9THI0NA8I1KOS3 Well Giannis is a spoof in the reality of human physiology
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ No, thanks.
I’m a lifelong raptors fan but I was rooting for the bucks that playoff series. Giannis is literally the best player in the league and is my MVP 100%
That Jr dunk was actually wild
Jr and Shumpert had some insane dunks on the Knicks
That Pippen dunk over Ewing and Kemp over Lister are both nasty af 🔥
I started watching basketball around 2013 and that Paul George dunk was one of the first poster dunks I've ever seen live. I'll never forget that dunk, one of the best.
"Timeout in Baron's house" is top 5 most iconic commentator call
"Sucked the gravity out of the building!" is one of the best commentary lines ever.
Some epic calls by commentators.
That B. DAVIS dunk was one of the most epic things I've seen in my life as a 14 yr old kid
“LeBron James, with no regard for human life!!!” is still one of the greatest calls in NBA history 😂
0:55 even Kawhi had to stare the man down after that, you know the dunk was filthy
I was in basic training with no tv or cell phones back then. My brother WROTE me about Baron’s dunk. At the time, it was the best he’d ever seen in real time. I couldn’t believe that GSW upset Dallas (#1 seed) that year, which my brother also told me about. 6:26
That was the season I became a dubs fan. My buddy moved here from Oakland and we watched many games that year and since
I watched Dallas quit after that dunk. Domination.
@@MrCantheman1 not to be rude, but that dunk was against the jazz on AK-47, not the mavs. I take it you didn't watch that years playoffs
@Zay you're right. But I did watch.
@@MrCantheman1 I was hoping you didn't because that was atrocious (I am a fan) for the mavs
I will always be impressed by kobe's up and under dunk
To attempt that in a playoff game is crazy. One of the best in game dunkers ever
@@AD-ur1fk and to try it on KG too takes some balls
the way bron’s body bends in the first clip is still wild to me, bro was breakdancing out there
Man Harlan and Ian Eagle had some amazing calls
I'm from the 80's and 90's. Everyone knows from that time that Kemp was the most savage. There are some we didn't see here, and that I cannot find on the web that are so spectacular, it's hard to describe the thrill.
This video made me miss Marv Albert even more. So many iconic calls.
Power slam, tomahawk jam, yaaaaah baby 🤣 my favorite call ever
A “ja-breaker” and “kawhi-ghlight” how creative😂😂
Suggestion: “Playoff celebrations but they increasingly get cold-blooded”
That Nets announcer I wanna say Ian Eagle is his name goated with the little on the fly phrases 🤣 Kawhilight is fire, and then later in the video he hits us with the Ja-Breaker💀
Suns fan and I'll always love the Crowder to Ayton game-winner.Just spectacular.
That Baron Davis dunk on AK47 will always be one of my favorites.
The noise in that arena...
LeBron stumbling but somehow still catching and finishing the alley oop in the 16 finals needs to be here
For sure, that one was nasty as fuck.
A facial by James Harden will always make me laugh
When Kawhi hits that Statue of Liberty dunk, get out of the way
Kobe’s baseline reverse dunk vs the timberwolves with the Kevin Harlan commentary my favorite 😂😂 🔥
This is my first time to the channel, and I have to say, WHAT AN AMAZING VIDEO. I appreciate the dedication to put these compilations together.
The Shawn Kemp one is definitely the best. The commentary, the elevation, the power, the taunt. It’s all amazing
Your channel makes great compilation videos! I love how you let the audio trail from the previous clip into the next. Great highlight selections, masterfully done, thank you! 🙏
Man that Kemp tomahawk never gets old. One of my fave dunks ever
if you could send only one NBA highlight into space this would be the one.
@@dmtc6913 haha yeah man. That's a great experiment... hard to think of a better one. Him and Payton were so good man, some of those Kemp alley oops... Glad I lived through that era
@@SquashDaBeef ah yeah the alley oop where he holds onto the rim coming out running the other way
I knew Scottie would be on top of this list. The Knicks vs the Bulls was as much of a classic as the battles against the Pistons.
Pippen shoving Ewing down, stepping over him and he went to Spike Lee to tell him to sit yo ass down.
The intensity is unmatched
Scottie Pippen's 1994 GOAT DUNK caused seismic tremors in the Earth's core in 33 states when Patrick Ewing landed on the floor.
Damn, was expecting Wiggins poster on Luka.
I was in the building for the Baron Davis one. They had a decibel measure on the basket and it read over 100 which is the equivalent of standing next to a jet engine when it takes off. So loud I would plug my ears some times.
4:48 is the best speaker call
I'm Nigerian, so Hakeem was my favorite player...but I saw that KJ dunk live, and it was vicious.
Loved Hakeem. That KJ dunk was one of the most impressive ever!
Before watching I said to myself this vid has to end with pippen dunking on ewing. You didn’t disappoint.
I seen most of these dunks live, but that JR Smith dunk was by far the most impressive.. Even though young Paul George over bird man was nasty..
that alley oop pass in to deandre ayton was my favorite as a suns fan
When I watched that I knew I just saw one of the best plays of all time, crazy to see it be done right before my eyes
@@daniellien6704 same it was an insane play and how quick they managed to pull it off super clutch
Westbrook 100% fan but mannnn that Jr. Smith game I wasn't suppose to watch and I somehow started watching it. Boyyy that dunk will forever be legendary
Bruh had KG getting baptized by Kobe and Bron back to back 😂
Love the Baron Davis dunk over AK-47 Andrei Kirilenko, but what really puts it over the top, even more so than the deafening crowd of Oracle Arena, is the Dre and Snoop 'Next Episode' music that comes on. Perfection.
The MJ baseline spin cycle, and stuff on Ewing Will remain in the highlight Hall of Fame for generations to come
The Shawn Kemp dunk on Chris Gatling was sick. Total and utter disrespect. And I loved it.
Pippin and Starks along with that kid from Memphis are the 3 best.
6:25 that's my favorite dunk of all time
ja breaker will forever be iconic
0:15 Giannis only needed one dribble to get from his opponents three point line to dunk the ball. He might be the only person EVER capable of doing this in a game, absurd
Bro, Kemp was built different
Pg24 was something special. Miss those nba days.
I still can't believe that Giannis landed on his feet on the 7:15 one let alone actually throwing it down. CP3 hacked tf out of him, legit could've been so scary if he didn't catch himself like that. Not even trying to hate on CP3 either he was just trying to save the game, just pointing out how poorly that couldve gone if Giannis wasn't such a freak athlete.
Pippen disrespecting Ewing and telling Spike Lee to sit down was so iconic.
when Kevin Harlan says “he sucked the GRAVITY right out of the building” for T Mac and Kobe, just makes those dunks more iconic
2:20 “A facial! By James Harden going right at Draymond Green!” 💀
😂😂
Norm Powell with the steal and breakaway dunk vs. the Pacers REALLY deserves to be on this list.
Those top 5 are something else. Just greater than life
R.I.P Kobe ❤
this turned into a Kevin Harlan greatest moments video halfway through lol
The Blister on Lister will always be my fav.
4:27 Kobe was so explosive here it's damn near defying gravity.
OKC Durant was something. I wish he'd stayed there; entire career.
Bryant to Shaq has gotta be the most electric
Multiple legendary dunks on Ewing. Dude never won a championship and got posterized like crazy in the playoffs.
90's basketball was so good.
Commentators announcements but they get increasingly iconic
Kobe’s poster over Nash should of been a charged but that dunk is too iconic. Joey Crawford knew what it was
That Leonard dunk on Kleber was filthy af
I still remember watching that Baron Davis dunk on Utah, I knew that had to be up there…😮
That Baron Davis dunk was the lone Warriors highlight between RUN-TMC and the Splash Brothers
Kawhi had some sick playoff dunks when he was with the Spurs as well. Against OKC and Portland in 2014.
Aaron Baynes got more posters than a 2005 child's bedroom
I love your channel, bro.
Most iconic in my opinion, Kobe to Shaq, Pippen over Ewing and #1 has to be Kemp with the dunk and point after 💀 so cold blooded, such a clean dunk and it was just so iconic
That JR Smith junt was INSANE.
Lmao aye Leonard got a mean one hand dunk. Bro go right up with anybody.
Pretty solid list... Missing kawhi on Greek near end of game 6, East finals 2019
The B DIDDY SLAM always going to be Legendary!
Dr J's cradle dunk needed to be in here
Dr. J's cradle dunk was amazing and definitely iconic, but it occurred during the regular season (January 5, 1983)
I would argue that the celebrations are even more iconic than the dunks. And these days the refs are so quick to call a tech that we’re not getting as many great celebrations anymore
A lot of these are iconic cause of the post dunk celebration but do that now it’s a technical just ruins that aspect of the game
"SOMEBODY GET THAT BABY OUT THE STREET" 💀💀💀
young Lebron was so savage, glad i got to watch his entire career
That JR Smith dunk was freakin legendary
The Lebron dunk, swing through, one dribble on James Johnson is premium athleticism 🤦🏽♂️
Y’all can talk about that PG dunk all you want but low key I’m happy that happened as a Miami fan….PG used all of his emotional energy after that dunk. The series was all Heat after that moment.
Man do I miss the 2010s
i was hoping Pippen's dunk would be #1, I thought Bron's dunk on KG would be higher but respect!
I would’ve been in the parking lot waiting after that Kemp dunk
Wiggins' dunk on Luka is top 5 all time most definitely and they left it off list!!!
That lebron miss on the warriors is game 7 would have been so legendary
“You’re in his poster big fella”
Kobes dunks man were just soo next level
