Grayson a better dunker than Donovan?

Back-to-back NBA dunk champions?

Donovan's dunk coach said this:

The knock on Allen is that he's unable to utilize his athleticism in traffic around the basket - so while Grayson may be a dunk contest participant and may actually win, in the world that counts he's not nearly on par with DM.

It would be pretty cool if Grayson competed in the dunk contest. Just imagine a dunk where there is some kind of partnership, synchronization, something with Donovan.

If they do, they gotta dress like this.

Perfect

Has a team ever had 2 players compete in the dunk contest the same year?

This year might be crazy. Mitchell probably comes back because winners usually do. But Lavine and Gordon should be back healthy and compete again.

I love Mitchell but I'm not sure he could beat those two. But he is good at proving me and everyone wrong.

I don't think one team had two contestants unless maybe TMac and Vince did. I can't remember.

Personally, I hope that Donovan doesn't do another dunk contest. I hope he goes out and wins a 3 point contest.

Want to say Spud Webb and Dominique Wilkins for Atlanta back in the 80s.

I hope he doesn't do either.

I don't want him to busy that weekend since he will be playing in the all Star game.

I need this... I don't care what happens after... if they recreate the look they should win the contest.

This is a great idea. If Allen was in the contest and learned about your idea he would be wise to do it.

You have to dunk in games to be invited. GA doesn't dunk in games. I mean, it happens when all the stars align, but yeah, don't hold your breath unless they have a lay up contest.

From the article linked above:

“J.R. Smith and Chris Andersen were the last NBA teammates to appear in the same dunk contest together in 2005 as members of the New Orleans Hornets. Former Toronto Raptors teammates Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter were other notable ones in 2000.”

Four basketballs, two guys. Grayson jumps slightly earlier. Grayson right hand dunk, Donovan right hand dunk, Grayson left hand dunk, Donovan left hand dunk, all while both are in the air. Probably impossible but would be fun.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

I won't consider GA a better dunker than DM unless he tops that put back jam on Houston. Yea, yea, I know in game is not the same as contest, but in game is where it really matters. It'd be great if both end up great in game dunkers.

FTW. Would be the greatest thing ever

When they win they could have a 3rd guy come in and sing "we going to sizzler" (like maybe Royce)

I actually think Donovan vs Grayson would be a great dunk contest story line. Doubt it will happen, but would love to see it.

I definitely want Donovan back in it, would love to see him repeat. His dunk contest coach said they literally had about 5 days to prepare and could have done better had they had more time. Grayson would be cool....but two players from the same team? I doubt the NBA will go for that, it’s a compelling story line if you ask me though.

Hot take: the between the legs dunk is the most overrated dunk

Maybe most over-used. I don’t think overrated.
