YA MUST NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DUNKING IF YOU THOUGHT DWIGHTS SUPERMAN IS NOT A DUNK.
Ya bball iq just dropped a bit read a dictionary or something.
“the definition of dunk has no where to be found the sipulation that the hand must touch the rim.”
“Considering the fact that they had officials replaying the dunks & even the TNT guys slowed it down & watched and no one said it wasn’t a dunk. I think I’d go with the opinions of the guys who actually can play ball & those who can dunk rather than a homer watching it on TV. ”
“Mirriam Webster – Definition of Dunk

The dunk has nothing to do with what happens after the shot. EVERY last one of the dunks last night qualify under the English definition of dunk. “

i wouldnt really consider it a dunk it looked hot and he still would have won so it really doesnt matter.. it was entertaining.. if it was close then there is reason to protest..
