     I’m sure I’m gonna get negs for this but whatev…  Those aren’t really dunks… Since when did we start calling people throwing in the ball, dunks??? Guys throw the ball in like that all the time and I don’t see people hollering and screaming like they are wit BG… It was aggressive as hell but it was a lay up…  No different from Amare ish on Duncan, D12 in the slam dunk contest…  Mogs have to grab the rim… Neither were great dunks to me…  The one on Dano was better than both of them…  Say what you want but if he didn’t grab the rim it wasn’t a dunk… If that’s the case I can dunk with ease, I get up there but I can’t throw it threw and grab the rim… Just throw it threw… Which is one aggressive a$$ lay up NOT a dunk…

    Dude loook at the Blake Dunk against Perkins, he clearly touched the rim. Also I believe if youre above the rim have youre fingers hands less than half an inch away, it’s pretty much a dunk. So you can get up and just throw the ball down with ease really ????? A layup is more like having youre hand under the ball pushing it up letting it come down.

    Am I missing something?  I mean I watched the replay wasn’t there for the actual live action… Maybe if I watched it live and wasn’t expecting it, then maybe I would be hyped too… BUT dude threw that ball in AND yes you can perform a lay up with your hand over the ball… Where are yall from?? I mean yall haven’t seen dudes that try to dunk and can’t grab the rim and put the ball threw simultaneously, so they just throw the ball thru?  Like am I the only one who thinks that’s not a dunk?? Especially if you dunk on someone you have to grab the rim… Or at least touch the inside of the rim… Like come on fellas, when D12 did that same ish Kenny Smith said it too…  He threw it in, it wasn’t a dunk… Which is what I call one aggressive ass lay up…

    That was a dunk the videos I saw didn’t show that last part…  It looked just like the ish from last year… Which by the way wasn’t a dunk… Dude was 2 inches from the rim… Yes this was a dunk… MY bad…

    I just think people are nit picking, if people can’t tell the difference between this dunk and the other. I’ll give it to you though the Dwight was more of a throw down than a dunk.

    That’s exactly what I thought when I skimmed your post, “he must not have seen it live”. What made the dunk was the ridiculous angle, distance ,height and the fact that he even looked at that situation and thought the “dunk shot” would be appropriate.

    I will say though people need to calm down because he will do this again.

    Breaking News: Scientist baffled when modern physics collapsed last night, an emergency meeting was called among all physicists to discuss the breakdown of gravity during last nights play.

    Although not the best option out there, I would like to add The Physicist to the list of potential nick names for Blake. Because that guy is above the law of physics

     Actually, I think throwing the ball into the hoop with force from above is harder than dunking it. It takes more height and more accuracy than a dunk from closer to the rim. That was an insanely powerful dunk on Perkins while Perkins was trying to push Blake back or at least keep him from getting to the rim for the easier dunk. I really don’t care if he touches the rim or not as long as the ball is being thrown DOWN with power it counts as a dunk and not a lay UP.

    So if I’m 2 feet away from the rim and getting pushed if I don’t touch the rim it still counts as a dunk??? Am I missing something??  I agreed it was a  dunk (barely) but what make people count ish as GOAT dunks is the fact they hung on the rim or actually grabbed the rim…  You have to touch the rim especially on the inside… I’m sorry but throwing the ball in is still considered a lay up… And DOWN or UP can still be a lay up… Are yall really that stupid??  There isn’t much I agree with Skip on but this is one…  Although it wasn’t until I saw the last angle was when I seen he actually touched the rim (but even with that it wasn’t the inside of the rim, but I gave him the nod)…  It was aggressive but when I saw it, it didn’t have me say DAMN!!!!!!!! Like LeBron ish, or DAMN!!!!!!!! Like Kobe ish, or DAMN!!!!!! Like Blake ish on Dano…  Because it looked as if he threw it in… I don’t care about how far he was or that Perk was pushing him, or even the difficulty of the shot…  Its very simple, you dunk on someone you actually dunk… Grab rim, hang on rim, or something similar…  You don’t throw ish in and call it a dunk…  Its a great play yes… But should it be called one of the GOAT?? Hell no… It wasn’t clean… Just imagine if it was a clean dunk, without a doubt it would have been the best dunk of all-time… Better than Vince ish… But ish wasn’t a real dunk and now we got the hype bandits talking like its the second time he done something crazy like this… GO TO ANY PARK TODAY AND ASK IF THATS A DUNK WITHOUT TOUCHING THE RIM AND SEE WHAT ANSWER YOU GET…

     Blake should refuse to ever touch the rim and start doing this on all his dunks. That would be a great gimmick.

    I’m pretty sure nobody is going to bother reading your last post.  All I see are a mixture of capital letters, exclamation marks, question marks (Not to mention you have then in rows of 3 or 5 as such, ‘???’ and ‘!!!!!’)  You didn’t put any breaks in your rant. 

    I’m not saying everything has to written correctly and properly becaues this is the internet, but at least make it legible.
