on TNT welcome to NBA posterized I'm Ernie Johnson, we're in Las Vegas for the 2007 NBA Allstar game and later tonight they're having the Sprite Slam Dunk contest here at the Thomas and Max Center, but it's over. the next hour, the jams you see have nothing to do with the dunk contest, they are the best

dunks

in a game in NBA history, this is what we have done, we have divided them into several categories and at the end of the program we are We will give you what we call the famous four and that is where you come in, you vote for the dunk in the most spectacular game you have ever seen, so you are ready to go to the first category, the power

dunks

, and what better way to start that with a little chocolate thunder it was quite a spectacle because the explosion went everywhere and Roben Z was under the basket and he was trying to get out of the way he was running and uh Daryl Daryl in shock the first thing I thought is oh man , I have to get out of here, all this glass is falling.

I thought she doesn't film me now. I remember it being pretty scary because even when you see that in slow motion, I mean, you see all this glass falling. It was very dangerous, the game wasn't televised by anyone, but it was across the street from my TV station, so I reached out to my cameraman to film some highlights and do some post-game interviews. This is what remains of the Philadelphia 76ers scoreboard and I know it. This has to be a disappointing date for you and all the fans, well Alex, a call, you know, didn't have to happen, but that's dear Dawkins.

You look at that bench and you see a guy jump on the bench like he's coming. to the bank like he's like a monster like this guy, just look back, but I don't want to go near him, he actually wrote poetry based on broken boards and flying glass, robe, Zen crying or something breaking, glass, boo, hit , roar, edge shaking, oh. What is crying babies? Robin flying all chocolate thunder flying happy flying Roine babies crying glass steel flying cats crying R roast and toast and thank you wh I'm in jail oh he did it again he broke it again the fans in Philly said hey you You made one on the way, you had to do one for us and I kept saying no, they said no, you have to do it, so I left the opportunity, I moved, I attacked the boom of the basket and on this one the whole rim came out, so I had to do it.

Take him out again, well if you see me, I threw the p and started to slide out of there because I knew he was going to try to take him down. I was empowered by all of this, all of this stuff, all of this backboy breakup. and I think that got him out of that habit because he almost broke his back that time, you basically take the edge off his hands and watch him land on the ground and he just pulls the bolts out of the whole board. um, I think after that, I think it got the commissioner's attention, it was like, hey, this is the commissioner and I went into my office tomorrow at 9:00 in the morning and I was like, uh-oh, Lawrence o' Brian "Call me," he said.

It's dangerous I want you to stop doing it If you don't it'll cost you $5,000 every time you do it I quit He changed the way they build the boards and rims Are you kidding me? as if thanks to him there are Breakaway baskets, dear Dawkins. He's the father of power, Duncan, I'm just one of his sons, probably his best son, in fact, he follows him and almost takes him down completely, because he's one we haven't seen. I had been switched to magic just before. that, so I was new on the team and I was getting used to watching Shaq play, but when he brought the backboard down all the way up the stand it was awesome, you know, I remember the basket going like that and then the basket said, "hey." Hey, hey, hey, this little guy was too big and the basket just bent.

What amused me is that Shaq looked back in amazement. I think he was getting out of the way a lot of times when I go. At the top I like to hang a little bit and lift my knees up, so while I was hanging I felt like I was going down a little bit and if you slow it down and look at what I did when I landed, I was trying to get up. underneath, you know, I played against some tall guys, uh, in my career, Jaquille O'Neal is the only player I played against. I said, man, that's big, so right there O'Neal puts him on the ground, stops and takes him down.

He knocked down the entire goal, he clung to the ceiling, shit, he gained power that he hasn't even unleashed yet, he broke into the backboard, the way he made human strength to grab it like he had to stop it and it seemed like that was what he he was also trying to do it because you can see the way he showed up to ring in the hoop one time in New Jersey. Derek Coleman left me. I'll let you show you who he is, so I said to myself next time we play in Jersey. I'm going to rip the damn board off.

I think he was actually doing it on purpose the second time and he came in and knocked the board over Dwayne's back and I had Dwayne on top of me anyway so that was an insult to me so I just went up and threw him into the floor and I didn't break the board. I broke everything from behind and that was pretty good. I don't know if the league could have imagined someone that big and strong just terrorizing his team. Julius roaring. to the basket came out in Walton's face, Dr. J on Bill Walon, that was like flying right into your mouth, try to taste the boom.

Bill W was AC of a defensive player, but that day it just didn't work out for Bill, he went up so high. I remember Bill W could jump back then and he would go on and on and on and Bam, I mean, right on top of him. I always knew that every time he attacked the basket with Bill Walton back there he had to come with something extra, a little extra sauce. I know firsthand what Dr. J can do and on a fast break when he has the ball on the fool's head, uh, the best thing you can do is get out of the way, otherwise you'll be on a billboard and thinking about math. . he is probably the best dunker of all time.

I really think that every opportunity Dominique on the counterattack gets a problem. Dominique will go and jump off two feet and double pump curl. She looks at you and she still dunks you. I mean, just crazy Dominique had Mo. mod BK, you know, he moved it, he hit you, he moved it and he sang it to you well. I was pretty much a power mate. I always look for contact, but even though I look for contact, I still try to finish the work. Either I make a layup or, if I'm high enough, I'm going to dunk the ball.

Everyone likes dunks, but the only dunks you remember are the ones with authority. Oh, you're trying to push someone away. Bulls trail by 10. George with a hard drive now, Chris Morris' dunk was interesting, he was a good dunker, but not a guy you would automatically think of when you think dunks looked like a car windshield when they just broke, Chris morr you. I know they swung at the basket, man, I hit it with pure power, I couldn't swing it once I hit it, it was gold. I look at the guys today, he does pull-ups at the rim, pull-ups if I did pull-ups. oops I'm breaking the back of my head when Brook that board shocks everyone including our TV crew they didn't know what to do Ernie Johnson back with you in our Atlanta studio if you're just joining us you look good the situation.

One moment you're watching a guy break a board and then the next second you're watching Ernie Johnson, so you're talking about letting the air out of the balloon. You hit it once and you can't do it. He looks like Charles. he's just determined to take care of this B 77 play man who can't get the rebound and he's up there, so Bary just catches him, goes coast to coast and boom for a guy his size and his girth, you know what? that guy could really get it. So when Barkley passes by, you better get out of the way.

The Barkley Coastal Coast was one of those things that made me want to learn how to dribble from coast to coast. Char Bary reminds me mainly of myself because he says what he feels and what happens. after this he had to deal with it if a guy took care of me he would try to kill him you know guys I think about it very seriously today when the game starts they say after the game hey man you guys beat Detroit how do you feel? Well, we made our shots and we moved the ball and they're a good team, nobody cares about that, you want to hear it, yeah, next week I threw to his mom, I threw to the whole team and I got more for him. much more where they come from next we take a look at the most athletic dunks in NBA history and yet to come it's the best of the best the famous four it was a nasty dunk but it was very smooth because you see he was hitting the ball, he was looking with the pitch and he just hit it like it was and just shook it.

The NBA poster is brought to you by autotrader.com, the smartest place to buy and sell a car, and the new Air Jordan 22 there. not known simply by one-word names Doc and Nick Skywalker Kobe and Vince are not only some of the best dunkers the NBA has ever seen, but also some of its best athletes and, unsurprisingly, authors of the most dunks. athletics that you never want to see 20 from the center this year 20 from the cter oh my god he went up one side like that he brought it down and came the other way and he sank it like that and that's when I realized that it was really he was one of the ones that really I think it stuck in everyone's mind and at that moment, everywhere you went, there were people asking me: how did you do it?, what made you do it, once it started going up and spinning in the air, I thought, what are you going to do? and then once you see the dunk, you think: Did he really not do well?

Let's get the ball out and go exactly down for Dominique Baseline Drive Dominique oh, I think he's the best dunk of all time in competition. The game, I mean, when you look at the situation of that game, it was 105 105 after I made that dunk in lane B afterwards, I remember after G didn't shake my hand, didn't talk, didn't talk to me about six years later. that D hated me Dominique had a sexy strength because she was very sexy because she was very very sexy, especially when she had a little curl and waves on her head, she was very sexy but she had a lot of strength with Dominique I was getting him out of the way of the Defenders to dunk it, which is so different and so unique.

He was the best in the business at it, yeah that's right, well it was 12 for 12 in the half, that's perfect, that wasn't enough time, oh what. a play by David Thomson here you have the littlest of the littlest guys and David Thompson jumping all over the front line catching one off the rim, I mean he had his elbow on the rim, it was a pretty incredible dunk, he got the ball very high and he just went through it and knocked a couple of guys down by DED on top of a couple of guys and I think the coach got a little upset because he went right out onto the court, he pissed off Harris and I think Tom NY was so stunned in the leave side he, he, I don't know if he believed what he saw, so he thought it had to be illegal, well that was terrible, Cody Hadam, but before that time he was great, he was great in the game, but right now he's not would you do it.

You even want to be buried in that Jack when you talk about the great jumpers in the history of the game you have to talk about David Thompson or you haven't seen him play when he was young and in the pride of him he ran out KOB Bryant. behind everything, first you have to remember that I'm holding on above my head, then I had the mind to go behind my back with a man approaching me, then I had to think oh, I'm going to go and almost go up. and then spin in the air and dunk it behind my head, come on, that's a basketball play, that's what makes it so much more impressive, it wasn't the fact that he just jumped on you, it made you look dumb.

Robert already gave me a long Outlet. pass and uh on the break and I was going to the basket trying to finish it and uh he cut me off so I put him behind my back and uh then I went from there if you look at the defender, a guy named Vincent. Yarboro, who is probably watching this show and is seeing firsthand and hisfamily is observing that he was almost posterized, but Vincent lowers his hands to avoid the official word that you have been posterized. Willis made Dirk change that, yes, him. he played a good defensive game by Kevin Willis Carter oh Vince Carter I had the ball and uh I threw it to him without looking I got it he did a 360 with one hand the wrong way and I never saw him do a 360 the wrong way on the transition.

Three the ball and I was going down the lane so I was going to do a 360 and as I was spinning I felt like in my mind I was spinning too much and like I'm halfway there I turn around and say no I better kill this with two heads, in case Vince Carter probably made five or ten of the best dunks we've ever seen in the game, action, the foot RAC, here it comes, dror search. Daylight with meaning, took it to the hoop. Bob Gross goes after Dr. Jay's dunk and you're thinking no way why you would try, but you know you have to admire his courage or lack of intelligence, whatever it is.

After that shot I noticed there were some fans there cheering for me or my team and I felt very gratified by that. I thought, man, we stole some of the Portland crowd with that Dr. J. He's one of the most ridiculous dunkers out there, you know he's got the hands, he's got the length and he's got the ability to jump. I mean, Dr. J first had to have air breaks and he could change direction while he was in the air without putting his foot down, you know? thing that uh uh Muhammad Ali used to say float like a butterfly sting like a bee that's what he did on a basketball court Sean Kemp Kemp chooses Mark Jackson gets the give and take Sean Kemp was a guy who was in Seattle who I knew as the Rainman and seeing him with that incredible move right at Kenny Skywalker, a guy who had won the Slam Weapons Contest Before I, I think it was probably a lot of satisfaction on Sean K's part.

I was very at the time, I was 19 , that was uh my The first big dunk I did in the NBA was the one there in the Garden and it felt great. The rain man could fly directly in the air. He got some monster dunks that he did on some people too and he didn't consult me ​​on dunks, so I'm the dunk consultant. He has to talk to me sooner or later to throw some of these good dunks that we know are coming. We will put you in shock with the greatest in the NBA. shocking dunks and then it's the best of the best, the famous four very selom in the real game you actually dunk in a crowded area and he's dunking on two guys basically and now dunks you never thought he would you would see the little guy throwing a big man or an improbable last second alleyoop even a Larry Bird slam here are the most impressive dunks Here comes Tracy McGrady to the hoop from the C and that's it, are you kidding me?

You know that was a statement playing against my old team. You know, Toronto sending a message. I'm not just going to show you. It's going to embarrass me. You were going down the lane and it seemed like it was splitting. He threw the ball over Austin's head and off the backboard and he caught it for two. heads, so it's something that hadn't been seen, no, it was just a moment where he had the utmost confidence, uh, within myself. And um, I got the ball on the fast break once and saw the opening. I was, you know, like I say, I was confident.

I tried it and it worked, it was pretty impressive, so I had to steal it in the All-Star Game a couple of years later. Looks like the Hawks want to run away. They find Wilkins. Careful. I think it was like that. I was angry because they just burned me three. or four times by Larry and that was probably just an angry dunk, you know, I said, give me the ball on the wing, rest, you have to get out of the way. I was trying to figure out why Larry Bird jumped because he was Nick's. rookie year he didn't know any better and that was that he would break your fingers like you would break your fingers if you really extended your hand, you know this because no, he didn't dip it, he tilted it behind his head.

The bird was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, it doesn't matter how big and strong a guy is, if someone is coming at you full speed, they have a really huge advantage and he ran over Larry Bird and Larry Bird just spun like a spinning top and sat down. on the court he sat there and said man, I just saw something first hand that is incredible Davis with a wave away will run with Pazo Ricky to the hole I dare him to try it again, now you know I know where he was. I did not do it.

You know I was going to try to dunk it. He would have blocked it. You know, I thought I was going to quit. I started trying to take the load. He actually cheapened the dunk because of his later reactions because the dunk was good enough. It's something like. the guy that buys a straight bend and puts TVs in the headrest and puts tires on it and he and he and he cuts the top off to make a convert like you don't have that's a bend man you don't have to do all that Ricky Davis on Nash was um it was really unfortunate because clearly Nash never recovered from the shock the Lakers had several chances and here's Larry Bird Ching for the C well first of all Larry Bird can only jump so high so you know .

He must have felt great in game seven. The air margin is very small. You don't want to try to go up and get blocked. And Mr. Mate finishes the play, so when he does something like that, everyone says mate. surprised like sh surprised like what Larry b d and in traffic and in the seventh game of the World Championship. The comeback was one of the biggest in Lakers history and I've been through a lot of those comebacks, but I never heard the Staple Center and the crowd was so loud and well, that was the beginning of our Dynasty, that's where it started. all.

That moment in time, you know, I was at the top of the floor and the isolation situation with Scotty and I were able to get through it once. I got to the basket and I think it was R. She saw him coming up to cover the lane and, you know, they took the body out of the big drop. I was able to grab it with an outstretched hand and he finished it off. I've been waiting for a pass like that for a long time, so if you slow down you can see my eyes like, hey, you know you go in the hole and you know they've been leaving me all night, so if you throw it up, I'm going to go get it in the background, you can see Phil Jackson standing on his tiptoes as if to say get up Shaq, go get it, we saw the defense coming at him and he just hit Shaq The Loft to the basket, which was, you know , an exclamation point and also a great scoring factor that made the differential in the game stop in the paint.

Not Alan Iverson personally. He knew he could get up like this. What's shocking about the dunk is really how high his head is. The Rim that you know, Alan Aon has, he's special, you know, he's 6' 5'11, whatever he is, he's someone to make a play like that, but two of what he's done in his career throughout his race is just amazing uh amazing Tim and amazing elevation amazing whatever. you mean a rebound followed by a dunk from a guy who's basically about 5'11 160 pounds taller than all those giants, a pretty incredible dunk and I remember being surprised when I saw that with no fouls to give it to Miller it passed the kids Miller in with the slam Reggie Miller ties it with 3.1 left we were down by two this is game five this was an elimination game on the road once I started going up I kept going up until my surprise and you look at the tape they fouled me I should had it been In an N1 we would have been up, in one we would have won the game, but they didn't call it like they normally do, but yeah, that's shocking because, like I said, that was my last professional dunk in my career, which surprised me a lot because You rarely see Reggie dunk, especially in traffic, and those dunks there are rare in his name, but the game was on the line and, you know, he came in hard, he felt so good that's why he took it to the basket and dunked with both hands in traffic and then he hung off the rim and looked at the man saying oh yeah, that was me next, we got up close in person to the best dunks in your face and then it's the nastiest dunks If you are ever going to see the famous four, you have to have a creative mind to come and think about how to do it.

Next are the dunks that happen when the Irresistible Force meets the very mobile object, the dunk is immortalized, the Dunkey is posterized and the crowd shouts in your face Carter has it Carter D oh great ending B Carter wrapped it up and He touched Alonzo and the air was like hey Alonzo how are you doing right down that was Co that was nasty you gotta find ways to intimidate shot blocking unfortunately Guys like him Blon Morning never get intimidated he'll just keep coming but It makes a statement and the fact that he turned to his side made it a little bit special, that's one of the things I always told the kids if they're scared. to get killed, don't be a shot blocker, you know, stay out there and let the guy go to the basket and let him act like he's in a dunk contest, so I was thinking, well, I gotta take the hit. first and hopefully I'm high enough for Ste to kill him and it didn't happen so I think that's what the satisfaction of that play is coming from because it's something I thought about and it actually got done reality.

Carter rejoices and throws him, oh my god, once I hit him, I felt like he kept going higher and higher and he was going down and I'm still going up and I caught him when he hit the kimbe, he went up to another level like he was looking at Deacon . I dunked the ball and the face I made was uh, it was perfect for that kind of dunk in that group I looked at it and said beep, that was ugly, okay, I blocked more shots than any man in this universe right now. I said yes, but this time you can't move your finger.

I caught some of the wines and they caught me well too. I remember in the playoff against Toronto he came in and they almost tried to break my hand and my hand got trapped. The r was like that and my skin came off and I blocked the ball because he probably dunked for that dunk, he blocked my dunk probably five or six times before that, with a great pass to Michael Jordan, he went out the back door and that's crazy. a mate much more than a physical mate, that's ionu, that's a mate ionu, you know, with the little finger afterwards, oh, we talked about it and we went to dinner this summer and that's what it was about, he said, remember, I have you, so you.

I can't back away, say I never got you, but remember I got this on film, that's the beauty of basketball, when you have a good defensive player and you have a guy that says you're not going to get to the basket. I'm going to protect this target and in the same way you say aha, I got you that time, right? Me, Myers for Pippin, oh, a faithful Scotty Pippin in the face of Patrick Ying, who didn't appreciate it. Okay, let's take the elevator and go to the 10th floor. Scotty went to the 11th. That's what stands out the most in my mind.

It's just that Pippen just goes over Ying and this really symbolized that whole period and a series of uh magnificent.

games

between the Bulls and the Knicks that really hated each other Scotty throws him on the ground a little bit and it's almost like Frasier down was Frasier that's what everyone at home was saying down Ying down you and Scotty knew Exactly what he was too doing because standing next to him and watching him at basketball is the worst thing you can do, that's not nice Dy, that's not a nice thing, here comes M, oh, he just sucked the gravity out of the building for the first time.

The thing was just to go up and try to get contact, draw a foul, but another part of me just told me to go up and shoot it, this guy is 77 7677, whatever it is and just make a post about him. I know it's possibly his last year in the league, so you know it's him, he's going to leave, yeah, he retired, maybe that's why, right, he said enough, you know, I can only be, you know, I can only be Monte Everest. Of all these great jumpers here for so long, the really crazy thing about that dunk is that when you do something if you're the opponent and you know the home team, if you do something spectacular, they never show it in the jungle, they never show a replay of anything , they actually showed the replay on the big screen, they just sucked the gravity out of the building.

Yes, I attacked the basket. I turned the corner and saw him standing there and I accepted the talent, it was so. There's a lot of hype about the guy who comes from China, who had a big not go you know once you catch it one out of 10 times or whatever it's always exciting so hello sir welcome to the two on one league here's mckennis with a high dribble with oh yeah and the lack is. It's a great feeling, you can hear the whole crowd go oo and you see your bench get up, you see your bench get up from their seat, they go crazy, you see the opposing team look a little funny, so it's always a great feeling.

I think he knows it. I didn't know how nice it looked from the angle and then about four steps from the way back to the bench he said it was kind of nice, it's like that, gu, he started laughing at me, the most important part of that uh mate in particular was Damon Jones, the Dunkey, uh, who's right inthe path of LeBron James, wisely ducking to protect himself B. I think the only way for Damon is to stay out of the picture on one of the rare occasions when he didn't want any exposure. I'll be in front of you for more incredible Slams and then you'll have the chance to vote for the best in-game dunk the NBA has ever seen.

Oh brother, oh my god, what a drive by Kevin Johnson, I was mad at the trade. I was mad at Hot Rod for being on the other team and I just went to the basket and saw Hot Rod and you. I had one of those flashbacks of a little man complex, so I just went up and you know, Beed on him. real quick he told him to get away from me, man, he says: what are you talking about? It's me, you're telling him to get out of it and you're the one basically hugging him, KJ's sass, come on, I probably said something crazy because I was so excited at the time and again like a smaller player in the league, Every time you can make a basket against someone bigger than you, you have to make it longer, you have to make them laugh.

He was holding on. the edge and making sure everyone had a shot at your face Kevin Johnson oh God, so I went up, you know, I got down, I went up, he went up, we both went up and he started going down. I was still going up, boom, this is it. the best shot blocker of his generation and one of the best of all time, no one expects Kevin Johnson to tower over a King Elijah, kill him and posterize him. That doesn't happen. Funny part of that story though was when I was at half court just jumping up and down uh I looked up and there was a Keem Elijah on him he said little man you got me very good little man little man don't do it again little man like that Yes, that was my highlight of my NBA. career Kimy Smith was in a proper defensive stance instead of playing that silly defense that he's known for playing wouldn't have been named that so take aim when you see Kenny hit him, he left you stranded.

I'm sorry and I apologize, man. My bad because there's no way he would have dived if you were ready. I gave him a direct line to the basket. I apologize with all my heart. I'm going to say I dipped, that was me, you dipped me, Kevin, aren't you? Don't kill a kid that's with Stak down, he turns around, looks behind his back and the ball Stu, what a play by Weber Chuck that was in the commercial, that's what made it great, yeah, didn't you see Did Chris, uh, kill Charles Barkley? Didn't you see that I wore something like this because I was like Superman, oh yeah, you were fine, that was my first game against Barkley and I met Barkley in high school and Barkley was by far my favorite player.

My friends were in town in Oakland for that game, they all came and knew how much I loved Barkley. He was going to criticize him. And he shook me when he took it behind his back because he knew he was like 50%. free throw shooter and I had decided I was going to grab him but when he grabbed the ball behind him I couldn't get close enough to him to grab it. I had a poster at home with him jumping with me and both of them. his hands extended like in a helpless position and, when I dunked him and committed the foul, I looked at my guys in the stands and said now that I'm in the NBA, what could be better than being a number one, pick and kill your idol , he swings it up off the key, he bounces the ball, toari, which flies for incredible ram and hit, give that guy a cap, not only does he have the power, but he also has the finesse and quickness to to get it. to the rim very fast I'm a fan of his dunks and a fan of his game it was a rush you know one time once I dunked it I had an I I rushed it and it was just an incredible play uh and what if if look at the pictures , my expression came out after the dunk, so, it was definitely fun, you know, that space I had because it's disgusting, smell that dunk, but what made it like that, I said what does that do, it's Step because after the dunk. below, I think Steph knew that he had prepared the Candy Man a little for the mate and once he does it, he sells the mate.

You love the dump. I love the step reaction, probably a little more. They invade him in that double. the bottom line now K goes to Sean Kim was one of the most explosive jumpers we've ever had, his talent level was off the charts and when he was at his best he could do anything. Sean km will boost Funk, my favorite DG. at Sean Camp was when he took a dribble, he cocked it, he handcuffed it and he threw it at Alton Liser and Alton fell and pointed Lister's blister at him, yeah, that was a playoff game and uh, they were, we were giving something quite unpleasant. fouls in that fourth quarter right there, so what you saw was a little bit of frustration coming out of me, so I used to make fun of the guys on the court and I used to tell them, hey, if you start that with me, I'm going to put you.

In tonight's poster you have seen the rest, now witness the best, stay tuned because the famous four are next in the posterized NBA, he was diving into traffic, it was strength, it was delicacy, it was everything you can imagine in a dunk The posterized NBA is brought to you by the United States Marine Corps, the few, the proud Marines and by T-Mobile Stick Together, you've already seen the full range of great dunks the NBA has to offer, but we've saved the best for last, a quet de jams. that are so good that they actually defy category, any of them could be the best of all time and that's where you come in and in a moment you will have the opportunity to vote for the best inaction dunk you have ever seen. call it the famous four and here they come Oakley hitting Chambers he threw it two on one KJ to Chambers haam oh wow he went to Mar Jackson I was a rookie with the Suns when Chambers dunked on Markk Jackson and what made that dunk It was incredible. was that he literally put his knee on Mark's shoulder and went up with another foot, it's like a b b, it was one of those things where I didn't really have time to try to stop and go around him.

I just had to try to get to the edge, so I was able to do that and I literally jumped on Mark Jackson, he tried to protect himself and maybe gave me a little more momentum because I know I had to duck and not hit my head. uh, when I was getting off that dog, Mark Jackson was thinking about showing my coach that I'm a team guy that's going to get kneed in the gut by my team and we're going the other way and you're like, wow! Where is that guy going? You know, a lot of great dunks are posterized and made, you know, printed on a sheet of paper, but this one was so good thanks to the Phoenix Suns, who tanned it for me, thank you. for Mark Jackson and the Phoenix Suns, this one will be seen for a long time SP, yes, what a move by Starks, who was able to get Sky to the basket.

I remember calling that play and I remember Starks started off the dribble and you wondered. Where he goes? Because you see three Bulls over there, mainly Michael Jordan and Horus Grant. The baseline just opened up and, um, while I was dribbling, I saw Hor Grant. I like it, I was able to go with his strength, so I jumped in with everything he had in me. and he threw it exhausted and ran back onto the court not knowing what had happened because to me it was just another play and I was sitting right below the baseline, he put the ball in his opposite hand, his left hand, and He got on top of all these people.

He hits the ball with a Pur exclamation point like he's never seen a thing, the outfield just explodes, everyone's going crazy and like I said, I had the best seat in the house, that's what it looked like from where I was sitting, it was a great dunked That's a tough dunk for me to watch because we went up 20 in that series and I think for the first time I'm going to win a title and we didn't win another game in that series. I think that's the dunk. that woke up Jordan that's the only time Jordan was never posterized that's pure posterization right there that's the only time Michael was posterized I didn't realize Michael was in the photo uh until the next day I like it oh you know what finally I have him in a photo because he didn't have me on posters, videos and everything else, so that's my only crowning moment against him.

Jordan trying to get rid of Starks. Oh, what a move by Jordan, count and foul, oh, I'm going. go back no, I think I'm going to go to the baseline and then I'm going to jump oh, you jump with me Michael said I'm going to go higher and higher and higher bam. I wonder how the hell he got out of that corner. We had him trapped, uh, he was like Houd Houdini the moment he got out of that trap that Oak and I set for him. Oak opened the back door for him, so to speak, and he did it so quickly.

Patrick simply didn't have enough time to react. Michael Jordan loved to go against Patrick and he usually got the best ying and the Knicks and I can imagine how many conversations have followed over the years about that particular play, that dunk probably is. if not one, two in the dunks of all time in the history of the NBA, we talked about when he makes basketball plays, we talked about Vince Carter when he does some things that seem like he has healed, he talked about Dominique Duncan and Trafford, those It was all those dunks. his and it was like Jordan was taking on the entire team, he fooled two guys and then dunked on the Knicks' best defender, which to me might be the best dunk of all time, worthy against Malone.

The pass is deflected and is going to be stolen, I think. the doctor does, the car has it, it comes three Rock the be to sleep and slam up to come from the sideline where you move the ball from one side to the other and you have a defender in front of you and the defender knew when it arrived when it came out the air didn't stand a chance, that's one of the best dunks of all time. I wasn't really sure what I was going to do, but I knew I was going to make sure the ball went in the hole, so I think I dribbled pretty far and, you know, I decided to take my step in the middle and fly through the air. , on a break from not being able to think about what you're going to do, instincts just take over, it's just that you have to do it.

You have to have that in your game in your DNA to make a dunk like that. Cooper said he was trying to get out the way he and I had a really good chance to discuss it, but I know I got a few elbows and a couple of knees afterwards just out of spite, but it was one of those shots for the ages, everyone else, you know, Michael took it to another level. Larry Magic, but Dr. J, he, put his heart into it, put his heart into it. body, you know, he put his heart in and then everyone else came and just took the step and then it started, but he said without it there is no entertainment in basketball, so there are the best of the best and now we.
