Watch 5’5″ Porter Maberry Perform An Incredible Eastbay Dunk (Video)
Just because you’re short, that doesn’t mean you can’t be a good basketball player. We learned that a few weeks ago from a guy named Jamani Swanson. However, if you’re particularly short, that does usually preclude the possibility of performing highlight reel dunks. Of course, there are exceptions to this. Spud Webb, for example, was [...]

Here Is The Craziest Dunk You Will See All Summer (Video)
Unless someone on the USA Men’s Olympic Basketball Team can bring back memories of Vince Carter’s epic dunk over a 7’2″ Frenchman at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, we may have already been treated to the best dunk of the 2012 summer, and it comes courtesy of some dude named Angelo Sharpless. The 6’4″ guard from [...]

Watch LeBron James Miss A Wide Open Dunk (Video)
Like most people, we love making fun of the Miami Heat. From their flopping antics to their questionable choices of attire, they always seem to give us something to laugh (at them, not with them) about. However, with Miami seemingly destined to reach their second NBA Finals in a row after taking a 2-0 lead [...]

Fat Man Provides Epic Fail During Halftime Dunk Attempt (GIF)
The Atlanta Hawks weren’t the only ones having trouble taking flight during their Game 2 loss to the Boston Celtics at Phillips Arena on Tuesday. This fat fan was also experiencing similar difficulties, as his halftime trampoline dunk turned into an epic failure when he came up several feet short of the rim and face-planted [...]

Knicks’ J.R. Smith Throws Down Ridiculous Dunk In Losing Effort (Video)
With over nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of last night’s Eastern Conference Quarterfinal battle between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat, Knicks guard J.R. Smith provided us with the “highlight of the night,” as he cut threw the Heat defense and threw down a vicious double-pump slam. Unfortunately, that basket was [...]

Josh Smith Misses Breakaway Reverse Dunk (Video)
The Atlanta Hawks could have used all the points they could get last night during their 87-80 loss to the Boston Celtics, including these two points from Josh Smith, which appeared to be a certainty, until he rattled the ball off the rim while attempting a two-handed reverse slam. This wasn’t the only painful moment [...]

Blake Griffin Missed A Breakaway Dunk Last Night (Video)
Back in 2002, during the NBA All-Star Game, Michael Jordan showed us that even the best can sometimes miss an easy breakaway dunk. Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers was kind enough to remind us of that fact during last night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Griffin has show throughout the course of his [...]

Andrew Bynum Got A Kick Out Of Watching Blake Griffin Posterize Pau Gasol (Video)
It has been a tough couple of weeks for Andrew Bynum. The Lakers’ center was benched during the second half of last Tuesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors after he attempted an ill-advised three-pointer, and this week he was fined by the organization for “numerous infractions,” while missing a few games with a sprained [...]

Joel Przybilla Shows Off His One-Inch Vertical With This Missed Dunk (Video)
Something tells me that Joel Przybilla caught of glimpse of our post on “Tiny” Sturgess, the Harlem Globetrotter who can dunk without jumping, because minutes into last night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, it appeared as though the Portland Trail Blazers’ center was either attempting a no-jump dunk of his own, or his vertical [...]

7-Foot-8 Harlem Globetrotter Can Dunk Without Jumping (Video)
They call him “Tiny,” but there is clearly nothing tiny about a man who can dunk a basketball on a regulation size net without even having to jump! While most of the other Harlem Globetrotters players are known for their superior dribbling skills and impressive leaping abilities, Tiny Sturgess is best known for his incredible [...]

Kendrick Perkins Dunks On Dwyane Wade Before Kicking Him In The Face (Video)
At around this time last season, Dwyane Wade embarrassed the Thunder’s Kendrick Perkins with a two-handed facial and a stupid little dance to follow. One year later, Perkins would not only get his revenge, but he would one-up the Heat guard, as he threw down a two-handed slam of his own over Wade and followed [...]

JaVale McGee Scores Game-Winning Basket In Nuggets Debut, Shocks Us All (Video)
Many of us have grown accustomed to watching JaVale McGee do things that draw the ire of his coaches, which is why most of us were probably questioning the Denver Nuggets’ decision to trade away Nene for him. Well last night JaVale McGee did a very not-JaVale-McGee-like thing, as he out-hustled a Detroit Pistons defender [...]

Baylor’s Brittney Griner Becomes Second Woman To Dunk In NCAA Tournament History (Video)
Throughout the history of the Men’s NCAA Tournament, there have probably been millions of different players who have thrown down a dunk during a game. Throughout the history of the Women’s tournament, there have been only two. The first female tournament dunker was Candace Parker of Tennessee, who threw down two dunks during a 2006 tournament [...]

Jeremy Lamb’s Needless Dunk Attempt Was A Big Failure (Video)
A miss on a breakaway windmill dunk during the final seconds of a 13-point loss to Iowa State in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament seemed like quite the appropriate way for the UConn Huskies to end their 2011-12 season. A team stacked with talent, the Huskies simply couldn’t get the job done when [...]

This Failed Dunk Looks Like It Hurt (Video)
Guys like Blake Griffin and Jeremy Evans make dunking a basketball look easy, but believe me when I say that it is not as easy as it looks. The dude in the video below would probably agree with me on this one. I will give him credit where credit is due. He did show quite [...]
