For the 2,000 fans at the Nets game last night (probably more like 8,000 since it was LeBron night at the IZOD Center) they were given quite the show by LeBron James.  In case anyone missed the game, which is extremely likely, or you didn’t see highlights check out this dunk.  LeBron is literally 1 inch from hitting his head on the rim.  This is going to be fun to watch for 41 games over the next two seasons in Newark followed by the next 4 years or so in …

Let me set the scene for you:
Thunder down by one point, 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter in a fierce battle between OKC and San Antonio. Kevin Durant comes up with a steal and looks to coast down the court for a quick dunk and the lead.
GINOBILI! thought otherwise…!
The Spurs’ superhero raced down the court and absolutely rejected Durant’s dunk attempt with no fear. Not only did this rejection prevent the Spurs from losing the lead (in a game they eventually won), but it contributed to the end of Durant’s …

When the Cavs acquired Antawn Jamison from the Wiz, the league had some buzz around the deal and how much better the Cavs are with him. However, his first game against the Bobcats was an absolute struggle and the second game vs. Orlando was not amazing.
I think I have a cure for Jamison’s early woes: a poster of David West underneath his dunkaccino.
Here is Jamison’s line from Tuesday’s game vs. New Orleans:
18 Points
7-14 Field Goals
6 Rebounds
1 MONTSER SLAM
Did Jamison put the Cavs in the win column? No, not on his …

Wednesday night in Phoenix has to have been the first time in history that twin brothers squared off against each other in the center position. I’m not even going to look that up because it just sounds crazy. Nevertheless, Brook and Robin Lopez battled it out, literally. There was one instance where Robin dunked on Brook and then right down the floor Brook dunked on Robin. However, Robin won dunk of the night for his SLEDGEHAMMER over his slightly older twin Brook.
I will now ‘double your pleasure’ with two views …

The 2010 Sprite Slame Dunk Contestants were released today inside of Penn Station in NYC.  A few days ago it was announced that DeMar DeRozan and Eric Gordon will star in the first ever dunk-off which will take place February 12th during the Rookie Challenge and Youth Jam event.  Joining either DeRozan or Gordon are 2009 defending champion (as well as 2006 champ) Nate Robinson, alongside Gerald Wallace and SHANNON BROWN.  I put Shannon Brown in caps because the dude pulls out dunk contest dunks in regular season games! 
It will …

This video is straight from NBA.com and it’s the best dunks of the past week. There are so many great POSTERIZED moments in the video I didn’t want to create 5 posts of youtube videos so I’m just plugging this whole thing. The best part of this video is 3 of the dunks are vs. the Nets! Also I feel that dunks 7-9 might be better than 2-4, just watch.

On the same night in different games Delonte West and Tyrus Thomas both had monster dunks.  On a fast break, West went up and dunked on Josh Smith, an amazing shot blocker.  In another game, Tyrus Thomas came from nowhere and dunked right on Josh McRoberts’ head.
Which one do you think was better?
Delonte West
 
Tyrus Thomas
