paul george's poorman's vince carter dunk

Crazy that there were better dunkers in the early 2000s than there are now. Vince Carter, J Rich and Stromile Swift had some of the illest in game dunks.

That dunk was amazing. So proud of him for even attempting it in game.
 
the big difference is that vince rotated more and he always fully extend his arm and he naturally has longer arms than george. also with his huge hands he can palm the ball like MJ, so it exaggerates the full extension even more. just another proof that vince carter was the greatest NBA dunker ever walked on earth. vince just makes the same dunk looks so pretty. he could do a simple windmill and he will easily win a dunk contest.

but mad props for paul george for doing it in the game. imagine if he missed the dunk.
 
I really think this dunks getting blown out of proportion, it was a good dunk, but nothing phenomenally jaw dropping.

Jason Richardson would eat Paul George alive in a dunk contest. Probably to this day.
 
It was pretty crazy tho, especially for in-game.

This was sick too

its cool he did it in-game, but it was a blowout and he really had nothin to lose. i'd like to see some superstars these days gro some balls and put themselves out there in the DUNK contest, where the spotlight is actually on them and there's pressure to deliver. #Vinsanity

The dunk contest used to be the best part of All-Star weekend and now it's just terrible.

LeBron, do the ****ing dunk contest already. If anyone can save it, it's him.
 
Well maybe if the NBA found a sponsor to provide more than $100k and do some nice web coverage leading up to it.

problem is that bron isn't a great dunk contest dunker. he will do the between the leg, maybe a reverse between the leg, but it won't be jaw dropping. there is a reason why he isn't doing it

LOL because they already won a dunk contest. They have nothing left to prove.

Like, those aren't in the same universe as each other.

Lebron doesn't do it because he is worried he wouldn't live up to the hype and could possibly be embarrased, Dwight and Blake don't do it because they already proved everything they can and there isn't really a reason to participate anymore since its just an exhibition thing.

Tbh I don't really blame Lebron for not doing it. If he participated and didn't basically put on a Vince Carter like performance, people would be disappointed.

But how does fabtrey know that all lebron can do is a between the legs dunk and maybe a reverse.

Is lebron athletic enough? Is he coordinated enough? Is his bball IQ high enough? Does he not have enough dunking power?

What skill is lebron lacking that would make him unable to compete in a dunk competition?

Im not saying that he would for sure win or that he is the best dunk contest dunker eva or anything like that.

I just believe that if lebron made it his goal to compete in a dunk competition and really wanted it then he could compete with demar derozan, nate robinson, jeremy evans, etc etc..... not even saying he would for sure win but fabtreys comment made it seem like he knows that lebron doesnt have what it takes to be in the dunk contest and i just cant see what he lacks that would make someone believe that.
