There's A New Dunk Of The Year Candidate, And It's This Durant-To-Westbrook Alley-Oop [Video]:
Okay, so we're getting a bit repetitive. First this was the dunk of the year, then this was in the running too. Yeah, yeah, they're all great dunks, and so is this one, from the second quarter of tonight's Thunder-Kings tussle in Oklahoma City. What's it got going for it? Well, it's a lob, and while Blake Griffin's brought us plenty of those (many via Chris Paul), they're more about brute strength than the athleticism we see here from Westbrook (and Durant, for that matter, who gets up the court and into position to make the pass really beautifully). Maybe we don't have to rank these things. Maybe we can just say "that's a great dunk." [FS OK] More »
