Video: JaVale McGee Assaults the Rim

If you checked SLAMonline over the weekend—and you best have (!)—you know that Al Thornton threw down a beast of a slam against Atlanta on Saturday night. Well, this dunk by Javale McGee from that same game may be even better:

    Great dunk.
    Normally I am a fan of the understated post-dunk celebration, but McGee looks like his mind is on something else completely. Superbowl, maybe?

    EVERYONE… who has the most ATHLETIC team in the league????
    Clippers?
    Wizards?
    Hawks?
    Thunder?
    Nuggets?

    wow, 3 comments without anyone saying its not a dunk because he didn’t touch the rim :)
    When will they come?
    Also @ AllDay, I say Thunder because they can start 5 players who are really atlethic.

    this wasn’t a proper dunk. There you go. And even if it had been, Al Thornton’s was way better. JaVale is a great athlete but I don’t like his style. It’s kinda boring.

    “this is not a dunk”

    haters wish they can lay it up like that

  • henry

    dont see the significance of this dunk

  • 2KInsider

    I thought Black Rick clearly made notice of the non-dunk with his “rim grazer” term.

  • onions baby onions

    no chance is this better than Thornton’s

    ^ what are you talking about? This lay-up is definitely better than Al Thornton’s non lay-up.

    That is one really big and long paw.

  • theDankerNuggets

    Definitley not as dope looking as Thornton’s but the fact he totally punked J-Smooth gives his the nod

  • lexluther703

    He makes the ugliest faces after he makes a good play.. zero dunk swag whatsoever

  • wilz

    I dont come to SLAM on weekends cuz im tired of being disappointed theres nothing posted

  • wilz

    i guess i do tho..cuz i did see Al Thorton do his thing like it was his sophmore year

  • c.a.

    any dunk that doesn’t touch the rim should be called a ‘drunk’.
    As in ‘you must be drunk to think that was a slam’.
