NBA: Top 3 In-game dunks of all time

Slam dunks are much more than just a play or a shot, they are an entire phenomenon in the world of basketball. This play is perhaps both the most dramatic and beloved of all plays in the NBA. Slam dunks are poster-perfect.

There is nothing better than a tall man reaching great heights (literally) to get crowds on their feet. Some look absolutely effortless while in the others you can feel the effort and the anger, but all of them none the less, are picture perfect.

Often though, there are more important things players could have been remembered by, the image of them fling towards the hoop, ball in hand can't be replaced by the numerous rings they wear.

Coming to the greatest dunks of all time, they all stand out for different reasons. some are physically impressive and others stand out because of the destruction they have caused. Yet, all of them are equally memorable.

#3 LeBron James passing to himself from the backboard, 2017

The 2017-18 NBA finals were exciting for many reasons, one of the biggest was having two superpowers colliding. And putting these forces head to head l to some amazing basketball moments.

One that can never be forgotten is LeBron passing to himself and then dunking. First of all, how many players in the history of the NBA have had the intuition to make such a move possible and secondly, how many of them have done it with such ease.

That one move was enough to overshadow the fact that the Cavs had lost another game to Golden State. Further, regardless of the team loss, LeBron walked away with another triple-double under his belt. On the other hand there have been lots of people who believe this was a mistake that was well taken care of, but personally I disagree.

#2 Deandre Jordan over Brandon Knight

DeAndre Jordan Dunking Over Brandon Knight

There is no way Brandon Knight has ever recovered from this dunk. There is no real explanation as to how a human can jump over a 7 foot man, but the pressure and commitment to the game seems to make anything possible.

The unbelievable need for Knight to defend this dunk has caused it to become one of the highest in the world. Further, it has the potential to surprise you no matter how many times you watch it. The dunk not only shocked fans court-side but I believe watching the reactions from the Clippers are just as important as watching the shot itself.

Here is the link to the video which will make sure you can remember for the rest of your life as to why the LA Clippers are called lob city.

Also additionally here is a reaction from the man himself:

#1 Allen Iverson’s magic put-back dunk over Marcus Camby

Let me start by explaining two things; one is that Allen Iverson not an extremely tall man. His height has been well documented throughout his career and even looking at a video of him you can tell he was a misfit in terms of height with the rest of his team.

And while this can be overlooked in most situations, as he has proved himself to be an amazing player on many many occasions this is not one of those situations. Secondly, Marcus Camby was a player well ahead of his time. He lived in an era where most people played in the old-school style and he did not abide by those rules.

This not only made him a formidable opponent but also one of the most feared shot-blockers. When Eric Snow shot and missed that night it seemed that it would obviously be a rebound by Camby, but like a stroke of lightning Iverson launched into the air and shot maybe the best shot of his career.
