Jon Barry had the #1 Assist of the Year as well. Check it out. http://www.nba.com/sprite/bestof_0405.html
Does anyone remember the dunk Lebton had against the Heat. Damon JOnes was between him and the basket and when Lebron took flight Damon squirmed and got hit by a knee I think. Damon had this lost little girl face that was priceless. O thought this was the 2nd best dunk of the year.
The angle they show on the T-Mac dunk is not that great. You don't really get to see T-Mac riding Shawn Bradley. I think the 3 best dunks out of the 10 shown are the T-Mac, Francis, and Kobe dunks. These were 3 very nasty dunks against set half-court defenses. The easy dunks in transition are just not that impressive to me.
I posted this top 10 video last week. I really liked the Josh Smith dunk, but T-Mac's definitely should win it.
Done. Which is the top dunk of the year? McGrady lift-off 31% Josh Smith vs. Bobcats 18% Kobe reverse 17% Mason windmill 17% Francis crossover 7% Jason Richardson spin 3% Devin Harris slam 3% Josh Smith vs. Sixers 2% Josh Smith vs. Bucks 1% Mason alley-oop 1%
voted again. tmac at 30% leads with a good margine. and john barry's assist is sweet, and amazing. totally deserving the #1 ranking. btw, isn't iverson's behind the back assist (#6?) a travel?
