people talk about the dunk of death, but then they're like but what if it happened in an nba game, then it happened in an nba game and no one cared

well one was a 6-6 guy jumping over a 7 footer and this is a 7 footer jumping over a 6-4 guy

a 7 footer and this is a 7 footer jumping over a 6-4 guy

Honestly, that's just as impressive. Imagine saying that 30 years ago. 7 footers doing that is just crazy

Let's see Giannis baptize Wemby into the league with this.

I mean He jumped over a guy 2ho is 6 ft 6....took about 4 strides from half court.

We have lost objectivety.

do you think lebron jumping over john lucas was on the same level as VC?

idk how you think this is similar to VC

[–] joleary747@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, Vince's is way more impressive. He made the decision to dunk over a 7 footer. Giannis himself said he didn't see the defender, he was just going up for a normal alley-oop.

Fr I feel like even then, the reaction to this was pretty tame. Like he jumped over a 6’4”-6’5” man in a game. I get Giannis is tall but this is nuts

[–] 1998TimThomas@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Of an oop no less

[–] Briggity_Brak@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

this is nuts

That's what Tim said.

[–] PlumAccomplished2509@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Even happened in MSG of all places

[–] itsahmemario@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Of course it happens on MSG against the Knicks

Vince Carter jumped over someone trying to guard him. He made the decision to go over a 7 footer.

Giannis himself said he didn't even see the defender, he just went up for a normal alley-oop.
