Explain to me how the fundamentally sound Utah Jazz, supposedly the farthest thing from "five slama jama" LEAD THE ENTIRE NBA IN DUNKS?

Dude, Sloan would be joygasming right now.
That said, Utah offense looks for lanes and the good open shot, PnR where appropriate, and a tuckfun of screens. Simple as that.
Good points! Be that as it may, seems to be strange that a team taught to lay the ball into the basket is now leading the league in dunks made per game!
Don’t forget Ingles and Rubio who do set up the dunk on the pick n dive.You got your calculator ready...
Rudy Gobert
Donovan Mitchell
Derrick Favors

How is a dunk not fundamental. It is the most difficult shot to block and any good offensive scheme is geared to generate many lay-up and dunk attempts and then secondarily open jumpers. Malone was one of the Kings of dunking in his day. Gobert might be the best in the modern NBA (debatable of course). But a dunk is fundamental basketball, no doubt.Explain to me how the fundamentally sound Utah Jazz, supposedly the farthest thing from "five slama jama" LEAD THE ENTIRE NBA IN DUNKS?

Do you also view any over-hand shot as modern and flashy? That fundamental underhand shot though.Dunking the basketball is basically a modern day phenomenon, and was even outlawed in the college game for a while during the Bill Walton era! Now a days, of course, dunking is looked up to as the most exhilarating basketball move you can make! The Jazz lead the NBA in team dunks per game with a tad bit more than 8. Do you know who is second?
It's interesting that you call the era when dunking was banned the Bill Walton era, when it is generally agreed that dunking was banned because of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.Dunking the basketball is basically a modern day phenomenon, and was even outlawed in the college game for a while during the Bill Walton era!

And it's a modern day phenomenon right along with color television.
Bill Walton era lmao.
Wasn't it the year right after Walton was like 21 for 22 in the NCAA finals that they banned dunking the next year?

The Jazz have the most dunks at 9.1% of their shots being dunks.
They are #2 in corner 3 attempts at 19.3% of shots.
They are #12 in layups at 28.8% of shots.
In total our 0-3 ft shots are 31.6% of our shots and we make 67.9% of them.
39.8% of our shots are 3pt shots and we make 35.1% of them.
6.5% of our shots are 16-3pt shots, 7.3% are 10-16 ft shots, and 14.8% of our shots are 3-10 ft shots. Our FG% on those are between 35% and 41.5%, so not so efficient, so it's good we don't shoot many of them.
Gobert is #1 in the league with 260 dunks, and Favors is #12 with 129 iirc.
Pick n dive baby!
