Miles Plumlee Jumps Over Brother Marshall Plumlee on Dunk (Video)

October 15, 2011 By Larry Brown Leave a Comment

The Plumlee brothers may not appear athletic, but looks can deceive. Youngest brother Marshall Plumlee won a dunk contest last year. This time around, it was the oldest of the three Duke brothers who had the fun. We’ve already shown you some of the festivities from Midnight Madness Friday night, including the sick dunks by the UConn freshmen. This one compares favorably to any of them. Duke senior Miles Plumlee electrified the crowd at Cameron Indoor Stadium by jumping over his younger brother Marshall Plumlee for a sick dunk. Here’s the video:

Even Nate Robinson, who jumped over Dwight Howard in the ’09 slam dunk contest, would have to be proud. That was sweet.

Remember all that worrying I did yesterday about Kobe Bryant’s foot/ankle? If Tuesday night was any indication, you can forget about it. Kobe’s okay. The Lakers beat the Hornets, 106-90, and now hold a 3-2 advantage in the series. More monster dunks right here if you’re interested.

Tyreke Evans Dunks on Gary Neal (Video)

April 6, 2011 By Larry Brown Leave a Comment

Tyreke Evans dunked so hard on Gary Neal of the Spurs even he had to smile about it. His teammates were loving it, Tyreke had a sly grin, and the play-by-play announcer nailed it when he said “we’ll see you on every highlight reel in America, Mr. Evans.” Perfectly said.

Thanks to Jose3030 for the video, and check out LBS’ collection of monster dunks for more.

Video: Rodney Stuckey Monster Dunk on Chris Bosh

March 24, 2011 By Larry Brown Leave a Comment

Rodney Stuckey went straight Space Jam on Chris Bosh in the fourth quarter of Detroit’s loss to Miami Wednesday night. Much like JaVale McGee who had the block of the year in a loss on Tuesday night, it didn’t matter that the Pistons fell to the Heat because they won the highlight battle. And what does it say about skinny Bosh that Stuckey spotted the lane and blew by everyone from the three-point line? Obviously the threat of the Avatar did not deter Stuckey from taking it straight to the rack for a slam down.

Dwyane Wade Does Cabbage Patch Dance (Video) After Dunk on Kendrick Perkins

March 17, 2011 By Steve DelVecchio 2 Comments

The Miami Heat’s mini run of blowing teams out of the water came to and end Wednesday night when they lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder at home. The loss proved the Heat still have plenty to work on, but that didn’t stop Dwyane Wade from making sure the fans got somewhat of a show. His monster dunk on Kendrick Perkins, which was followed by the Cabbage Patch dance, was probably worth the price of admission to some. Check out the video, courtesy of SI Hot Clicks:

Hey, it certainly beats Tom Brady’s ponytail dance.

Dexter Strickland Dunk on Miles Plumlee (Video) Capped Carolina’s Win

March 7, 2011 By Larry Brown Leave a Comment

North Carolina beat Duke 81-67 Saturday evening in Chapel Hill to win the ACC regular season title. Freshman Harrison Barnes, who chose UNC over the Dukies, was a difference-maker scoring 18 points. His teammate Dexter Strickland wasn’t as big of a factor scoring just eight, but he put the exclamation point on the Tar Heels’ win with this monstrous dunk over Duke big man Miles Plumlee. Check out the video:

It was quite the turnaround season for the Heels who went 20-17 and 5-11 in the ACC last season. They’re 24-6 this season after going 14-2 in conference play and they should be a top three seed come tournament time. Oh yeah, and that change to Kendall Marshall as the team’s full-time point guard? It seems to be working out pretty well.

Phoenix Suns Sol Patrol Member Nick Corrales Dunks Himself (Video)

January 28, 2011 By Steve DelVecchio Leave a Comment

Trampoline dunks are always a great way to keep the fans occupied during timeouts and breaks at a basketball game. As fans, we’re normally in awe of how much practice it must take for these little acrobats to be able to spring themselves off a trampoline and dunk without breaking their necks. A member of the Phoenix Suns Sol Patrol came dangerously close to doing just that on Wednesday night.

The young man, whom Deadspin informed us is an ASU student named Nick Corrales, caught a little too much air on the trampoline and ended up dunking the ball and himself through the basket. You have to see it to believe it, so check it out:

Corrales is one lucky guy. If he had eaten one more meal the day that happened, they would probably have been plucking him out of the hoop with a cherry picker.
