Re: Better dunk, Lebron or Griffin?
Both of those guys are freakishly great athletes. Man they would make fantastic football players.
By the way is Blake Griffin ebony or ivory?

Re: Better dunk, Lebron or Griffin?
I saw lebron play in minneapolis, its hard to realize just how fast he is until you see him in person. everyone always says tight end, but he would be a dominant wr in the NFL.

I agree on speed in person - the 'splosiveness of the first two or three steps toward the basket is unreal. I still think Jordan was faster than LeBron and Kobe, but those dudes are pretty quick. D. Rose ain't no slouch either.

no, TECHNICALLY it was a dunk. You don't have to touch the rim (which he did), all you have to do is shoot downward with one or more hands above the rim (which he did).

You're right, I didn't think he did but upon further review watching it in slow-mo it does look like his fingers grazed the rim.
I'm still sticking to my belief that you have to touch the rim for it to be classified as a dunk. Otherwise it's a layup. I'm not saying that's the technical definition but that's like, just my opinion man.

ha I know what you mean. And I'm sure that's how most people feel. But i don't think you should be punished for being athletic enough to jump high enough to throw the ball through the hoop from that far away. Still amazing.

Re: Better dunk, Lebron or Griffin?
I voted Lebron and for me not close. No disrespect to Griffin shot, his finger tips barely touch the rim. He basically threw the ball in. Not really a dunk to me..
