They left off anyone competing this year, though I do not know where I would rank this group as a full performance. Think the judging was particularly awful and kind of put an overall damper on things. Of course they left off some great individual dunks off this list, Shannon Brown’s statue of liberty in 2003 was pretty awesome. Well, I know this has been posted, just in case you want to see this years video and judge it next to some of the all-time greats.
