Calm Down

I find the need to clarify a couple things before moving on. Apparently some people are up in arms about opinions expressed on here. Calm down people. When I list MY favorite NBA moments, I can have anything on there I want. Am I saying Iguodala is THE GREATEST dunker? By no means. Am I saying the Sixers' Finals game was the greatest game ever played? Probably not, but it was my favorite. I enjoy all of the comments because they lead to great discussion. To further calm down a few people (but maybe fire up others), I will say that I find Vince Carter to be the greatest in-game dunker of all time. His highlights are ridiculous and he has a boatload of them. That said, I still find the Iguodala dunk to be my favorite for various reasons. Dispute it all you want, but I love it.

I also will go so far as to say that dunks in "big" games don't necessarily make the dunk more of a highlight. A great dunk happens anytime. It's still only worth 2 points in the end. Yes, it has the ability to fire up the crowd and shift momentum, but the athletic aspect of it can happen anytime. To me, the most clutch dunk was Dwight Howard's last year that was an in-bounding alley-oop over Duncan at the buzzer to win it. That was just awesome.
