Without a doubt, the most dominating dunk in the playoffs thus far was made by King James last night against the Celtics. And not any Celtics player, but superstar PF/C Kevin Garnett. Garnett is known for his outstanding size, speed, strength, and ability to get to the rim and block shots. However, last night Lebron James made him look like a 12 year old school boy with his thumb in his mouth. I’ve never been a Lebron fan, but it kind of reminded me of a Vince Carter dunk 2 years ago. Let’s compare:
Both players, Garnett and Alonzo are of similar height, speed, and defensive presence. Both players, Vince and Lebron are known for their speed, jumping abilities, and fantastic dunks. They both approached the rim from the side, however, Garnett knew what was coming and ducked off to the side. Alonzo tried to block Vince, but was overpowered by the much smaller player. Perhaps Lebron could have pulled it off, but I would have liked to have seen it happen. Lebron > Vince . . . still.
