    Glad google is working...... LeBron's dunk last night was SPECTACULAR! Plain and simple. To not see that is you letting your hate for him and the NBA as a whole blind you. Ask NBA players what they thought about it. CJ was still talking about it walking to his car last night.

    might have just been the atmosphere but that shit was loud. Its not all about how tech it is or whatever, you just know it when you see it.

    I don't hate LeBron. I'd love to have him. The dunk was average. It's probably not even in the top 10 for this season. It was a running tomahawk. Can you not win the argument without attacking me?

    Not attacking you. I just know how much you hate the league is all. And I am completely confused as to how anybody could see that dunk as "average". Average dunks by anybody don't get this much pub. That dunk was nasty and would be our Dunk of the year. I've seen 10 plus angles of everyone we've had.

    I'm sure it would be our dunk of the year, because we don't really have any dunkers on this team. But to me, there were other dunks in the NBA that were better.

    I hate the NBA corporation. I don't hate the players or the teams. I hate the management and the way that the league is refereed. It's a business, and when I look around at other pro leagues, I don't see the same problems that I see with the NBA.

    How was it any better than any of the dunks in this video from this season?

    That was amazing. Matt Barnes was crying because he couldn't believe what his teammate had just done.

    So other players only get their information on how other teams are doing based on how many highlights Sports Center shows of us? Like mentioned elsewhere in this thread doing damage in the playoffs gets that attention, not highlights.

    Not at all my contention. I didn't say that players only will be willing to come here if we get recognition on ESPN, just that it has an impact.

    Please don't twist my words to suggest I said something I didn't say. I believe you to be better than that.

    You know what....? There are a LOT of LeBron HATERS in here.

    Actual hate.

    You literally have no reason to.

    You guys..... just because the dunk didn't wow me doesn't mean that I hate LeBron.

    Someone explain to me what LeBron did that was so impressive.

    Stop going to subjective opinions and actually break down what he did that was so impressive.

    "It just is!" or "You hate LeBron," are not arguments.

    Educate me, oh great ones.

    The velocity and tenacity of LeBron’s dunk last night was ridiculous, watching it live before knowing what happened I thought “hey Nurk May be able to challenge this!” then the King hit the jets and let everyone know...

    It was definitely savage. He's still insanely fast for his age.

    He uses it in spurts these days buts it’s still there for sure, he’s gotten far more skilled though. His fadeaway game is reaching Kobe levels, that rainbow buzzer beater he hit at the end of the first half was so impressive considering Aminu put the clamps on him.
