I think they should do the dunk contest like a game of horse.

One guy does a dunk and then the other guy has to try to do the same dunk.
If they both complete the dunk, then go to the judges to decide who did it better

This though for real.

It would be the best way to see who the best dunker was.

Could lavine do the below the butt dunk? I would like to find out.

Could Gordon do those free throw line'ish dunks? I want to know
 
I also wish they would do a high dunk contest.
Keep raising the rim and see who can dunk the highest

Gordon and Lavine HAVE to be in it again next year. Add in a couple other young, explosive studs. Maybe Wiggins?

Ya wiggins is lame for not participating
 
I still think a front flip dunk could be done.. And would be the best thing of all time

I really like this idea, it would make for more accurate scores as well.

Ya I didn't even think about that.

Pretty lame. He would be better than drummond and barton... Though that one dunk barton was attempting was sick. Just couldn't quite get a good enough set up to pull it off.

Even with wiggins I think would have come in third but it would be fun to see

Lol what, I don't know about that one. What I think is feasible is a 540 degree dunk.

I think you can actually see a 540. - you tube it. Some random dude did it.

The front flip dunk should be do-able if you could get the timing and distance right. Lots of prime can do front flips. They are not very hard. I'm sure that lavine and gordon could do a front flip, they just have to do it with a basketball and a hoop..... Which is obviously very hard and thats why it would be the best ever but I definitely think it's possible.

Maybe the injury risk is just too high.

You see those trampoline dudes doing it at jazz games all the time. Gordon and lavine have trampolines for legs and they are tall.
I'm holding out hope for one day
 
IMO, Lavine is being underrated. Has anybody ever caught an oop while jumping from the FT line? And he made that look good. That dunk was sick and deserves more credit.
 
I still want to see somebody jump from behind the FT line and dunk. Part of me wants to forget the creativity and just see who can dunk the highest rim and who can jump from the farthest and dunk 10 ft.
 
That's very close, but I'd like to see actual space between the dude's foot and the line. I think that's a line violation if he's shooting a FT. But yeah, clearly beats MJ or Dr J.

Nice find.

I think there was an Olympic long-jumper who did a dunk from maybe 6 inches behind the FT line about 10 years ago. Can't think of his name off the cuff.
