dunk

OKC rookie Hamidou Diallo deservedly took home the crown.

Last night during the All-Star game the world saw the best dunk of the weekend, but it didn't even come from anyone in the NBA.

Basketball player Lloyd Hickson's goal was to slam dunk over a convertible in a dunk contest—but let's just say he came up a little bit short.

A U.S. Air Force airman — in full fatigues and combat boots — slammed home a windmill dunk during a break in the action of USA Basketball’s Blue-White game in Las Vegas on Thursday night.

Although the 'slam dunk' is technically just jumping really high in the air and putting a ball through a hoop, there is something cool about a professional showing off their skills to the world.  If this isn't a motivational video for you to go to the gym and do leg workouts...nothing is!

When the Harlem Globetrotter's recently visited the Lafayette Cajun Dome, I was hoping to see this guy in action. Unfortunately, the world's tallest basketball player Paul Sturgess, "Tiny" is his nickname, was not present that night. "Tiny" stands at a whopping 7-feet-8-inches tall and weighs over 300 pounds!!  The pride of Loughborough, England, Sturgess played basketball at W

In the case of Dwight Howard, this journey took him to Japan, where the Orlando Magic center recently dunked on an 11-foot hoop which had been attached to the neck of a 12-foot stuffed giraffe, during an exhibition at a Tokyo mall. Yes, it all sounds a bit strange, but the crowd gets real

Phoenix Suns' head coach Alvin Gentry labeled the dunk Los Angeles Clippers' rookie Blake Griffin threw down over Suns' center Marcin Gortat on Sunday as "impressive of a dunk as I have seen in the NBA in 23 years."

I'm not sure if i'm ready to say move over Blake Griffin....but, 5'9 T Dub can jump,and he can DUNK .....you have to check this out!

Might the next big thing in basketball come from Canada? 14-year-old Jamar Ergas has been dazzling folks in the Great White North with 360 dunks and a rapidly improving overall game.

This kid really gets into the half-time exhibition. Not sure if it's planned, but either way, still pretty cool.
