    Had Harlan called this game, it might have been better but Tmac you could see coming, this one kind of came out of nowhere and Harden didn't **** it back that much. I'll take Tracy.

    I am genuinely stunned that a single person voted for a meaningless 1st-rd, choking dog, metaphor for all of Vagrady’s hollow career dunk from a non-Rocket.

    I guess a lot of folks never forget their first.

    Yes

    We lost that series and despite a population here thinking the refs were the main reason we lost, we still made it to a game 7
    but got royally thumped

    The dunk on Bradley euphoria was erased when we lost in the first round

    Draymond went for Harden's throat in the series.
    This play could change the momentum of the series.

    In the grand scheme of things, the Tmac dunk had zero meaning.


    But more disturbingly is that NOBODY SHOULD BE THINKING OF TMAC
    ON ANY PLAY HARDEN DOES

    CAUSE THIS IS THE CONFERENCE FINALS

    Style - T mac
    Impact - Harden.

    I take the latter every time, but in a vacuum, T mac’s dunk was more devastating

    Harden's because he is not as athletic as Tmac and is also chubbier.

    When Ryan Anderson misses a three pointer in a 40 point blowout vs the Warriors

    I think of Tmac jacking up a three pointer in a 40 point blowout vs the Mavericks

    Even without the more significant context, t-mac's was like more dunking on one of these things:

    Tmacs was more impressive athletically.

    Harden postered the more hated player so he wins.

    In a vacuum, that dunk was more devastating - which is why it’s always in the top 10 best dunks of all time.

    I’m not gonna pretend like I would take that team over these Rockets, but I give that dunk it’s due.

    I would take Harden’s dunk yesterday every time as a Rockets fan because it was in the WCF. If you ignore the circumstances of the dunk, and everything else, I take T Mac.

    harden.

    harden's is actually more impressive athletically because he had actual resistance at the rim.

    shawn bradley gave up halfway and just conceded the poster to t-mac.

    draymond tried his best to block harden's shot and it just wasn't enough.

    Close, but I'd go with Harden's for a few reasons. First, the game was bigger and the opposing team was better. Second, Draymond (while a total scumbag) is an excellent defender and truly contested the shot. Bradley was just tall and kinda cowered as Tmac was rising over him (which was awesome in its own right).

    And hopefully the third reason is because it's part of a championship run. We'll see.
