Why am I not so impressed with the dunk?
something to do with the lack of lift, and he just barely got the rim at the top of his reach.
I like dunks that come from above the rim, i.e. the VC one.
It could be I am just spoiled to amazing feats of dunking prowess, here on the Raptors, we have never had a shortage of that. (VC, McGrady, Moon, Demar, Ross)
EDIT: For comparison
Notice how much less graceful and straining it is for Paul George to finish the play.The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

Vince jump was more vertical, he nearly comes to a full stop, which IMO helps the looks a lot.
George is dunking in transition, flying forward, he's some 3ft away when he reaches his top elevation point and starts the dunk, and he's at the rim when he gets it in.
And Vince is a smaller guy, which IMO always looks better.
That said, degree of difficulty on this one was great. George dunked in game, it's not carefully choreographed. It's after his own steal. It's at the end of the game when everyone's tired and he had already scored 30+ points.
In general, it's impossible to do what Vince did in transition. You are always going to fly forward, you can't come to a nearly full stop. Unless of course the other team gives up on the play and lets you do what you want, so you can stop, measure up and dunk.Last edited by BobLoblaw; Mon Jan 20, 2014, 01:31 AM.
