people talk about the dunk of death, but then they’re like but what if it happened in an nba game, then it happened in an nba game and no one cared

Wtf! When was this?
fawkesmulder
McEnroe’s reaction is just as great as the dunk
attackanddominate
Woah what Gus Johnson? Does he still call any local nba games?
grudgepacker
McEnroe’s reaction face will never not be funny
Noveltypocket
He cleared him so easily that I’m not even sure people fully processed what they witnessed in the moment.

Giannis jump over Tim Hrdaway Jr. for dunk, underrated as hell.
cuhman1cuhman2
Going to miss this man so much once he leaves. Hes a funny guy, has amazing highlights, super likeable, humble story, and raises his game in important games.
My fav nonLaker for since 2017ish probs

Same game that Tingis Pingis tore his ACL. Dark day to be a knicks fan
S13pointFIVE
Shit was mad disrespectful and if I was Hardaway, I would still have a grudge till this day.
BlatentExpression
Giannis’s comment about this in post game was that he didn’t even see THJ there. Mad disrespect
molcomtitman
Pretty sure Giannis asked the Bucks to stop selling tshirts with this on it cuz he felt bad for hardaway
This was the craziest shit I’ve ever seen and still kinda is.
mc2205
Still crazy to me that this isn’t even the best lob in bucks history.
Tjengel
Wait until he is doing this over wemby

HE’S A ~~GENETIC~~ GREEK FREAK AND HE’S NOT NORMAL!

The most impressive part of that dunk was that Giannis said in an interview that he didn’t really see THJ, and was only focused on trying to get to the ball. He just jumped and he happed to be there.
Giannis was trying to be a good sport by basically saying “I didn’t really want to dunk on him. It was just bad timing.”.
But if you think about it, not only he didn’t think much of him as a defender. THJ didn’t even register as a cone…
It reminded me of Don Draper’s “I didn’t think about you at all.” comment.

The filthiest move in the history of mankind, the tea-bag dunk
WTakesOnly
This season was peak Giannis athleticism. He’s obviously still an athletic freak but this season was mindblowing
YeMyIdol
Gus Johnson is a national treasure he should do more NBA games.
Is this not dangerous play? Like if he mistimed it it’s a kneww to that guys head. Still hella awesome tho.

Do the bucks still wear these jerseys? I have a Gianni’s jersey with that design and can’t recall the last time they wore them
RVAIsTheGreatest
The dunk itself is excellent but what’s the best part about it is the fact the lob was a bit behind Giannis’ head and the reach back to get the ball and slam it home while mid air. He made it look easy but that’s such a difficult play to pull off.

Idk about underrated, I think this is one of his more talked about dunks
regnald
so excited to see giannis and wemby face off

Dope clip. Makes me wonder what’s the 2nd best dunk to follow up the Vince Carter Legacy?
ReginaldKenDwight
Gus mailed it in so hard when he did bucks game. Dude was trash.
SomeManagement808
Shout-out Knicks bench for lack of reaction. Held together so well, minus that hand drop, that one of them started looking around to make sure this was reality
debaserr
People put too much emphasis on slamming the ball down hard. This was a light finish but just as impressive as many all time slams I have seen.
LocoMotoNYC
Channeling his inner Vince.
yourmumsaman
Generational fumble by the camera man
crumpsly
I remember this dunk because of how hilarious the scream from the announcer is.
“here’s middleton… giannis trailing the loB OHHHHHHHHhhhh”
It reminds me of the Wilhelm Scream it’s just perfect.
BabyHercules
It was so casual

Went to that game Kp tore his ACL couple plays prior if I’m not mistaken

One of the most disrespectful dunks ever up there with Shaq and Chris Dudley a couple down from Pip and Ewing

Was a great time to be a Bucks fan
This was also the game that Porzingis tore his ACL after [dunking on Giannis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lbl_c9_fi0)
That truly is an underrated dunk
Giannis is top a 10 athlete to ever play basketball
Holy shit, that’s me in the red hat!
This dunk seems pretty highly rated to me, [it was ranked 2nd on the top 100 dunks from the 2010’s](https://youtu.be/ujGSt-93qZo?t=1432)
I love how dejected THJ looks after the play

the most underrated dunk of the 2010s imo.
“Underrated” stfu
“You cannot be serious.”
McEnroe “You can’t be serious”
