    Kevin Harlan is a treasure. TNT giving Marv Albert the entire WCF's is an absolute travesty. Last night, there were probably 8-10 plays alone that Harlan would have made iconic.

    as much as i like tmac, harden's is way better, given that it's on draymond green. The year they lost to the cavs, I was seriously hoping lebron woulda capped the game off by whamming it all over draymond. Unfortunately he missed after getting hacked, but it was so closeee. So glad harden finally did it.

    Objectively, I think this is the most accurate answer.


    Personally I’m going Harden. The everything else is too everything. Tmac was a lanky high flyer too, James is capable but isn’t a “dunker” to me. What he dropped was a career defining hammer. Giannis’ dunk wins obviously but where is this on dunk of the year ratings? It’s certainly #1 for the Rockets.

    you got it.

    tam's dunk was better. dude rode bradley and completely silenced the crowd.

    however, harden, WCF, in drays face, against the warriors in oracle handing them the first home playoff loss in the durant era to even the series and take back HCA. yeah that's a hell of a statement play.

    How about the facial The Rim did on Draymond? Why no love for Rim?

    Kevin Harlan's commentary made T-Mac's dunk more memorable. What happened to Harlan anyway? Is he boycotting the Rockets because Morey traded his son in law?

    Tmac's dunk definitely. I actually printed out the "Save a Horse, Ride a Mav" picture that someone made on here & a friend with floor seats got Shawn Bradley (and a few Rockets) to sign it that series lololol

    After watching the video several more times, it further cements it to me that T-Mac's dunk was better.

    Bradley turned around and cowered.
    Green fouled Harden hard and actually Harden fell after the dunk.

    While it's not Harden's fault, the announcement, which has become part of the experience, of "He just sucked the gravity right out of the building" is way better than "OH!" just randomly repeated a handful of times.



    But still... Harden is a much better player and much better leader and an MVP and has had much more playoff success and I would much, much rather have on our team

    objectively speaking Tmac was way more athletic and just made bradley his b****.

    but Harden did it on a MUCH bigger stage .

    So james wins

    T-Mac had the sexier dunk, Harden had the nastier dunk.

    Shawn Bradley got dunked on all the time. He was pretty weak:



    Whereas Draymond was a defensive player of the year. Then you throw in the fact that harden’s dunk happened in the WCF... harden’s dunk is definitely the better one.

    silver's illegal facial over the organization during the entire wcf was probably more meaningful

    Give Draymond Bradley's height though.

    I still remember the T-Mac dunk 10+ years later.

    I’ve nearly forgotten Harden’s dunk.
