    I voted for McGrady because he was on the Rockets.

    The people who are using the height disparity as a reason are wrong. It doesnt matter if Bradley is taller if he doesnt stand straight up or attempt to block it. Stop at 21 seconds and you see how high Bradley went up to stop it. At that height he was no where close to as high as Haywood was. Haywood made an attempt to block it and actually pushed Durant away.

    It was sucked the gravity right out of the building. BTW, the announcer was Kevin Harlan not Marv Albert. Both sound somewhat similar.

    Cosign.

    Not to take ANYTHING away from McGrady's but Durant dunked on someone contesting his shot. He actually got fouled, hard, and finished. It was one of the best in game dunks I've ever seen.

    McGrady's is still sick as hell though.

    No question in my mind, Tracy.

    The KD dunk was cool looking, but not as explosive to me.

    TMac's dunk had one of our guys falling to the ground in excitement, a pure pimp look from JVG, and even Yao is holding back a big smile around the 13 second mark.
    If that's not enough, even in Dallas you get a huge OHHHHHH!!!!! from the crowd.
    Crowd reaction on the KD dunk, not impressive.

    In defense, I think KD's dunk caught EVERYONE off guard. The announcers are on a side tangent and the crowd just wasn't expecting it.

    There was anticipation with Tracy, he went baseline and everyone could see something about to happen, and with TMac's rep as a great dunker there just more "juice" there. I don't think anyone expected Durant to throw down after he went past Peja. He doesn't have a rep as a dunk-on-you guy and no one was really expecting that, plus Dallas basketball fans suck.:grin:

    Considering 186 people voted for TMac, I would say no, you're not the only one.

    "Am I the only one..." has got to be one of my least expressions of all time, talk about vanity.

    mcgradys dunk took bradleys soul

    durant is a good dunker but his dunks do nothing for me.

    he has no style.

    he's 6-10/6-11 with a long wingspan so he doesn't really have to get that much off the ground to finish most dunks

    yeah, but i'm talking about length with wingspan.

    6-8 with a 7-2 wingspan is nothing compared to 6-10 with a 7-5 wingspan.

    it's like when people said serge ibakas free throw line dunk was better than jordans.

    not that much impressive seeing a 6-10 forward with a long wingspan barely take off from the ground to finish a dunk.

    I'm interested to see the standing reaches of both Durant and T-Mac.

    Durant ended up on his ass.
    McGrady wiped his ass on Bradley.

    For those that say haywood tried to block it. Take a look at that "poster" picture posted earlier in the thread, haywood barely got off the ground, he barely jumped 1 foot at most. Bradley tried to jump but couldnt because mcgrady was already riding him lol.

    Because I have personally met both of them (T-Mac before warming up at the Toyota Center and Kevin Durant on campus at UT in between classes)....

    Both. They are both great players (at the time) and embarrassed Dallas.
    Do it to it.

    Bradley was already have turned and his arm wasnt even out by the time he made contact with McGrady. He bent over like a ***** and stuck an elbow out to his chest to try to get away. So Haywood going face to face, sticking his arms up, and moving slightly forward is more difficult to go up against.

    In a year or so, people will count that Durant dunk as they do many others in the playoffs, but you'll never forget McGrady dunking on Bradley and the epic quote from Kevin Harlan following it
