    Manu. Amazing blocks are even more impressive than amazing dunks.

    This is also the way Varejao reacts to someone sneezing near him; therefore it's not very extraordinary.

    I pick Manu's block even though Wade's dunk was sick.

    Reason - Wade traveled.

    Personally I hate Garnet, so I would say the block on him is better. Varejao didn't even contest so it not that sick. Garnet is declining stage barely gets up now, so I don't know either one is pretty sick.

    You have some explaining to do.

    Anyway as much as I love that dunk, I choose Manu's block. Too nasty

    Oh if only Manu walked over KG. But come on the force of that dunk. If it wasn't for the pillar or whatever, Varejao would have rolled another 10 feet and went heels over head. That's probably how they came up with that commercial where Wade is some nightmare monster.

    kg was fouled anyway.

    6 ft 4 dunking on 6 ft 11 is way more sick.

    It's no contest for me. Wade's dunk is clearly more spectacular. The block is nothing special in my opinion, it wasn't even above the rim, though it is always gratifying to see KG getting slammed onto his back.

    Wade losing control of the ball makes me take major points off his dunk, that ball went in by a miracle. Nothing special.

    Manu's block was alright, KG doesn't have any lift....

    Manu blocking Durant >>>>> Wade dunk/KG block

    Manu's block wins.

    Garnett was going up with both hands on the ball - so a lot harder and had to be totally clean to affect it.

    KG has an injured leg; just doesn't have it anymore. Therefore, I vote for Wade.

    Yes, but amazing dunks are more impressive to the crowd at the game.

    Nothing gets the crowd going like a monster dunk.

    Except for when you get an AND1 after the monster dunk.

    manu. it isnt even about kg not having lift. that was timed perfectly and both players had forward momentum. kg being laid out on a clean block is pretty fricken nice.
    wade was nice too but look who it was on. and as someone else stated, it wasnt really contested. as much as ppl loved the tmac on bradley, i always thought it was kinda prickish. not the fact that he dunked and scored 2 points, but the fact that bradley is moving out of the way and then he initiated contact by trying to scissor his head.
