Well, as long as LeBron’s head is in the right place. It’s not like you get rings for having dunk of the year.

I agree, I know I’m obviously biased but LeBron’s was more impressive, Griffin’s was nasty.

Regardless this dunk will be dunk of the year until the next big dunk.

You are absolutely RIGHT, what Bad Blake did to Perkins and his now classic Mozgov were something entirely different and altogether deserving of a new and universally recognized moniker.

For now, I’ll just call it a total Blake Griffin Throw Down.

Very Tom Chambers-esque!

LeBron didn’t have the ball when he went into his jump. He jumped over an NBA player, caught a pass with one hand, and slammed it. Incredible.

I don’t know, LBJ’s dunk on Lucas Sunday was just about as impressive.

Lucas is only 6ft, but LBJ’s knees were banging his chin.

Not bad for a half white guy

It’s just another reason you have to love LeBron. He’s just a humble guy, going about his business the right way, paying his respects to the great ones. Wouldn’t it be nice if all our star athletes were so self-aware and respectful of the game?

I didn’t think it was that impressive. It was just a loud dunk. No finesse or grace.

Why does everyone call that a dunk? he threw the ball in the hoop then grazed his fingers on the rim. Not a dunk, just like the dunk contest, wasnt a dunk. Dont get me wrong I think he has amazing hops and dunking abilities.

I don’t see how this is as big a deal as everyone thinks it is. Sure, he went over a big player, but look at his form. Griff barely touched the rim. He did the middle school dance technique, where an 8th grader does whatever possible to make sure no part of him is anywhere near touching the dance partner.

one of the strongest paint defenders in the league? What is this obsession with Kendrick Perkins? He averages a block a game. 1. uno. He averages a whole .04 more blocks a game than Timofy Mozgov. He wasn’t even one of the strongest paint defenders in the game. Ibaka and Jordan are both better “paint defenders” and honestly Durant has more shot blocking prowess than Perk. Yes there is more to guarding the paint than shot blocking and Perk is a good on the ball defender, but you are clearly insinuating that Perkins is one of the strongest shot blockers in the game and he clearly isn’t. What’s next? Is he one of the best rebounders in the league too?

Yeah, like a referee is going to nullify that play…he would be reffing in the d-league before the night is over.

Get real.

When Perk dreamed of having his picture up in kid’s rooms, this isn’t what he had in mind…

He kinda threw it through the basket rather than dunking it. It was a nice play, but I really don’t think it’s that great.

never a foul on the offensive player who uses the off arm to push the defenders arms away…

A part of me genuinely feels bad for Kendrick Perkins.
