Blazers well represented on SLAM’s Top 100 Dunks
Posted by: Coup
Well represented, both in dunking on and getting dunked on. But that comes with the territory when you’ve got two centers who perfer to be perpetually in the mix in the paint. Here’s the Top 25, and you can find the other 75 here. Any guesses as to which dunk made the Top 10? I’ll give you one hint: I’m fairly certain Brandon Roy prematurally ended his career.
In case you don’t want to watch every single minute of goodness (why not?), the other two Blazers in the list are Travis Outlaw and Nic Batum. There’s a ton of good stuff on here, though I had hoped Rudy’s inbound oop to Roy would’ve been higher, and that Bayless’ baseline destruction had made it at all.
Roy is #1 for nba.com’s top 10

#72 @ 4:17 – Rudy to Roy
August 1st, 2009 at 3:54 pm#57 @ 2:00 – Roy to Travis
#49 @ 3:25 – Batum
#36 @ 1:31 – Batum over Gasol
#14 @ 2:05 – LaMarcus
#6 @ 4:05 – Roy
Um… but how many of those other dunks were AGAINST the Blazers?
