Video? No video= didn't happen.

Have watched carefully over the years and as i said have never seen anyone ever take off before the foul line. I believe Evans could do it.

Archie, as you charmingly put it grandpa's *** didn't see this one. His toe didn't seem to be on the line, and it was a dunk (barely). Got tired of hearing how so and so did it and watched the video and they didn't. As we all know the
all-star weekend is crap and i quit watching closely so i missed it actually happening. This is first evidence i have ever seen of this being done. Which is what i asked for. Thank you so much for supplying it Archie. The down side
is now it's a non-starter for Jeremy Evans. Hail Serge Ibaka!!!

P.S. Did you see the wistful look on Dr. J's face as he watched the monitor. Priceless. It's taken about 40 years for anyone to actually do that.
 
There are two types of dunkers: those who jump off of one foot and those who jump off of two. The winners of the dunk contest are generally those who jump off of 2 feet. Lebron is a 1 ft jumper, which does not translate to dunk contests, thus he never participates. Unless you can do what James White does, you're not going to win jumping off of 1 foot (Jordan could do it, but I believe he's the exception to the rule). Jeremy doesn't jump off of one foot, he's springy, and should focus on dunks that get him as high vertically as possible. If I were him I'd look at arguably the two best performers in the dunk contest, Vince Carter and Jason Richardson, and try to emulate what they did, but put his own twist on the dunks.

I would also stay away from the free throw line dunk. First of all it's not original at all, and second it doesn't look very impressive if you're tall and long (see Ibaka, Serge)

Unless he can dunk with 2 feet planted behind the free throw line. That would be a winner for sure.
