Here are my thoughts:

Shaq dunk: nothing special... in his case anyway. He probably missed the free throw. I would've got outta my seat if he made the free throw though.

STOUDEMIYAH! I can't believe how much power he has and how he can handle guys who are 3-4 inches taller than him so easily.

I'm surprised Dwyane Wade didn't have any other dunks in the season that were special enough to be put on this list.

Nate Robinson!!!! The guy is only 5'9" and he makes our jaws drop when he makes dunks like #34... AND #10! BOOYAH!

VC's still got it! And so does Jefferson!

SUPERMAN!

I'm surprised #25 didn't make it higher on the list.

Chris Paul made a great pass on #23... made his teammate shine on ESPN, with that alleyoop, I'm sure.

And I thought the Hornets had a good 1-2 combo on that dunk. I didn't see #22!

Pause at 4:31. Look at the elevation Kobe had with that alleyoop. Not a very good pass, BTW.

The commentator for the Cavs just made me jump up after James dunked right over Dung... I mean Deng.

Yao was useless all the time a few years ago. Now useless only sometimes.

Philly can DUNK! Wow!

Now, Kobe's #7 shouldn't have been in the top 10 IMO. It was like LBJ's #13, except Kobe's wasn't at the buzzer, and no one was guarding Kobe.

ROND-OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

What a way to end the vid at #1. That dunk was simply astonishing!

Final thought: YES! No Ricky Davis! Thank you!

And thank you Salmanpour for putting this up. 'Preciate it. We don't get to talk about the NBA on AGM much... unless it's the playoffs.

Yeah, well I wrote that at the end after creating the table in order to convince them to watch the whole thing. Now that you gave everyone the idea of skipping through it, YOU RUINED MY PLAN! :P

Folks, I have one that isn't even mentioned here because it occurred in College in his first game as a sophmore at UCLA and that was a 19 year old Lewis Ferdinad Aclindor dunking over an USC Center, Ron Taylor, and it was his first move in varsity sports. He faked to the right and turn down left and went under the basketball and the picture shows him dunking with his head over the rim and backwards at that.. I don't know if he ever did it again but it was the most beautiful site I for one have ever seen. I believe the Los Angeles Times has the picture in its files but I really think that he could have done it a number of times both in the pros and college if he really wanted too. But if I had to vote on these Ariza's dunk was one of the best highlight films of the year.

In the News

The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Boston Red Sox in the playoffs for the first time since 1986, snapping an 11 game losing streak. It took 12 innings to do it, as Mike Napoli led the Halos to a 5-4 victory. Erick Aybar hit the game winning shot to score Napoli, and Nap was held accountable for 3 of the Angels' runs and 3 of their RBI's. Josh Beckett wasn't the postseason man he usually is, as he only lasted 5 innings, surrendering 4 runs and 9 hits. Jacoby Ellsbury also made history, becoming the first player in postseason history to hit a three-run single. He did it in the 3rd inning, as he hit a pop-up while there was some miscommunication involving Torii Hunter and Howie Kendrick in shallow center field. The Red Sox currently lead the series 2-1.
