Vince Carter has had many windmill alley-oops that were better than that one from Blake. The pass was flashy but it was wide open.
Best uncontested alley oop Trey Thompkins, hasnt played all year with injury. (career high vs Houston) but a scrub really.
This was way nastier.. not a fully open alleyoop either VC's alleyoop shown previously is even nastier than Blake's. Sick alley oop but nothing GOAT about it
I think I know what is wrong with the NBA now. An uncontested, meaningless shot to stretch a blowout lead is your favorite "play"? I don't think you're alone.
Meh. Too showboaty for me. There were no defenders, what's so difficult? It's like a dunk contest dunk, which it seems like everybody can do these days. I agree with others, alley oops (and dunks in general) are much more exciting when defenders are in the way.
You just lost all credibility. How is a no look touch pass alley-op not better than an uncontested between the leg pass that traveled no distance???
I remember watching this game live from my eastern NC home at like 12:30am. Had a friend who was a diehard Jwill fan on the Kings and I could not stop talking about this play. Another play I loved that I never could find a video for was when John Celestand (PG for Lakers) did a spin move and dunked it on Jwill. I wouldn't let up, just relentless. Needless to say he didn't talk to me for a week.

Not that impressive, I was wondering why ESPN was going crazy over it. Nobody around so barely counts as "in game"
I don't understand why everybody in here is being so timid/lame/reserved acting like it wasn't a good dunk....if you can't see why or how that was a good alley-oop, you have got to be slow... Everybody on this thread knows that if the Rockets pulled something like this off, it would instantly be deemed as "the best dunk in Rockets history" or "sickest dunk of the year/all-time"....we would never stop hearing about it.
omg... this should be one of the top!! the funny thing about this clip is that one of the commentator was giving credit to faried when he should have been amazed at the pass made by rondo!!! sick pass!!!!
Thats the beauty of outside looking in, it leaves objectivity. Im sure Clipps fans are feeling that way, but htere are so many other alley oops that were greater, more difficult, more impressive. Your insults are child-like also, btw. Chillax.
I'm always disappointed with the best ___ dunk ever videos. When you're tall and athletic, a dunk is a particularly easy shot. Especially uncontested. That person contorts himself to make it marginally harder or else puts more strength into it than necessary does not impress me. The shot is still easy. When I played playground ball, dunks were a big deal because the level of competition was such that a guy who could actually dunk in-game was a rarity. But, the NBA is crawling with those kinds of guys. A dunk like this is only overcoming the 10 feet between the ground and the goal, not even an NBA-grade defender. Even with contested dunks, they usually only happen because the defender was out of position in the first place and contests at a disadvantage. I'll take highlights of a good block, a clever assist, or an ankle-breaker over a dunk 10 times out of 10.
