    LBJ can have a highlight amazing dunk everytime we play them if we walk away with the W.

    ironic thing is i think LBJ would trade the dunk for the W if he could, then again its about marketing something people can gush over vs. something actually useful.

    style and likes over substance.

    I consider 33 and 15 one reason, so it was really only a couple reasons.

    He is well above a 7 footer here. He is also about 6 feet from the hoop. He is also in his 15th season

    If Nurkic is more athletic and can jump higher no way LeBron can dunk in him

    Depends. If LeBron stays in Cleveland, he's not getting back to the finals. Most won't remember much at all about him after they beat GS in the finals.

    But, yes, ESPN is going to more recent tomfoolery.

    That dunk was freaking sick.

    But, like I said about Dame's putback dunk - if I was a fan of the team, I wouldn't care because we got an L. I love the Dame putback more because we got the W.

    Like I love this dunk so much because we got the W. It works both ways!

    Something i always hated about American Basketball culture: It's better to let your opponent dunk rather than contest it. The dunker obviously has the advantage because he's not the one who needs to time anything or avoid contact. What's so spectacular? It's cool for maybe 10 seconds and then you move on.

    Or if someone trips while guarding his man: "OHHH HE BROKE HIS ANKLES!!!!11" .... humans might trips when moving side to side while backing down on a surface which can be wet at times...
