@@whatname4613in football, AG is just a football freestyler, basically freestyler can do many tricks and a lot of gimmick (mascott/hoverboard) “man” doesn’t impressed with that gimmick, admit it lavine won crowd too 😅 In my life, i never ever seen any nba player do a clean/smooth dunk like lavine did. Just like effortless dunk and beauty 😅 if lavine in diving olympic i think he win every aspect of beauty dive.
Florida Mike that is not how the contest is ruled. Don’t matter if DJJ started with a 46, he had better overall dunks in the finals, just check one by one, even AG repeated a dunk from DJJ in the first tie-break.
A LOT of people can do under both legs like Aaron Gordon did. And it's easier to receiving the ball after the jump than bringing the ball up by yourself. There's maybe one other person (James Flight White) who did what Lavine did at the free throw line.
Stayl1sh it’s not that difficult of a dunk, I’ve seen pro dunkers easily do that dunk with the ball (harder cuz it slows momentum) and they easily get it b I’ve seen no one else including pro dunkers do a between the legs from only half a step in the free throw line
asian dude Gordon is not even the second best player in Orlando. Just give Gordon that dunk contest or something and LaVine will go to the playoffs when he has a better team.
@@mewantsgrass if we based it in creativity surely it would be gordon but difficulty its for lavine... i'll be confident enough to say that lavine can do all of gordons dunks... but can gordon do lavines dunks?
I’m old enough who witnessed the great slam dunkers of Dr. J, MJ and VC but Zach Lavine have put everything to a different level that made all their dunks look ordinary. The degree of difficulty of Lavine’s dunks are second to none, period!
I lived and watched in 80s 90s 00s and seen the great slam dunkers Dr. J MJ Dominique VC but Zach Lavine put their dunks to another level with finesse and so effortlessly which made all those dunks average now. Unless you’re just bias for your idols, Zach Lavine is the greatest slam dunker of all time period with all the degree of difficulty of his dunks period!
He’s a long jumper, a high jumper, a gymnast doing tricks in the air with a basketball exceptional athlete, Should have the dunk contest as an event at the Olympics
What’s so great about these highlights is that you don’t see any stupid gimmick dunks like jumping over a car or dump stuff like that. These are just pure amazing dunks. He’s the best dunker I’ve ever seen, and that’s including Vince Carter who I now have to put #2
We might see something spectacular as this one 10 years after when kids after seeing this emulate and improve to be much better that will be 2025 if not then we have a week next generation
Bro he windmills from the free throw line smh , that cuff wit the spin he did was amazing too , he's serious and so far he played wit my fave player numbers 8 and 23
YnoRichieTV nah. I do believe Aaron had the best dunk of the night but the dunk offs were even 50s and when it came down to the last two dunks Zach had the better one
YnoRichieTV that may be the case but it’s on a scale of 50 by the judges and just as Aaron’s dunks were 50s so were Zach’s. The last dunk they both had Zach had the better one that’s why he won.
@@shawntillis8981 the dunks leading up to the final dunks... I couldn't give Zach more recognition over Gordon. Whether they both did 50 dunks or not. Put it this way, when they were both going back to back getting 50s...I myself didn't go as crazy for Zach's dunks over Gordons!
6 years later he's become a complete player tearing the league up 🔥
Factss
Dude can't make the playoffs tho... 😢

You gotta appreciate how Zach needs no help in all his dunks, just his pure graceful athleticism
AG got robbed.

Lavine used up 3 dunks in the first contest and still had enough in his bag to outlast AG. No gimmicks either

@WindyCityDion Gordon got robbed
even though aaron got robbed 2020 was one of thebest dunk contest ever
Lavine should do Double EastBay, if wanna win on 2021 Dunk Contest.
@@niggato23 the robber did a between the legs dunk from the free throw line 🤣
And it’s now 6 years later
Who's here after watching the disappointing dunk contests every year beside this one
I had to see what a real dunk contest looks like
Once carter was way better
Gonna be here for a couple more year I think
I got bored.. This is a relief for me
Yet again!
360 from the foul line: *exist*
Zach: challenge *accepted*
*Chuck said it is impossible for a 360 free throw dunk meanwhile Zach just recently had a video of him doing that*
Yeah bro.
2016 dunk contest was too littttt
Shane G #facts
Too litttt is not enough to describe 2016 dunk contest.
The way he was doing these dunks so effortlessly like wow. Still exciting to watch after all these years!
Smoothest.Effortless.
Theres no one like lavine
My fav dunker ever
Le arrebataron ese título a Aron Gordon y no pienso discutirlo
Everyone: 10
DWade: 9
Dwade !
D wade gived 9 because not perfect finished, not clean finished. You gived 10 even not clean finished 10 cus taco? Nope.
Not just him give 9, just because the winner is Miami player, so everyone go to him
Aaron should have won the other day regardless he had 50s every dunk

Idc what anyone says Zach Lavine, *put* , *on* , *a* , *show* , and if he didn’t deserve to win then it was a damn TIE!!!

He is incredible though. Jason Richardson was amazing but his dunks looked so hard lol.
Vince did it first
Absolutely better than Vince Carter

BLUFF

I’ll never forget this night, it felt like a dream.

Unbeatable. Period.
Zach is the most exciting NBA player to watch.
Carter GOAT in game dunks
Zach GOAT of dunk contest
Zach LaVine don't need props to make dunks look spectacular.
The king of dunks 👑

That between the legs dunk from the free throw line was absolutely ridiculous
It wasn't from the free throw line
Aamir Khan one foot in, close enough
@@plostyle786 was far AF
Best dunker ever
These never get old ngl
Only guy that could've beat Vince
Every time Lavine dunks he looks like he's lost in the aether or somewhere
Zach's dunks are effortless. I mean just look at his face. Not a single care in the world while on flight.
Jeezus... aint no one afterwards that can dunk like him
Best Back 2 Back 2 Back dunks EVER in the history of the NBA Dunk Contest

Vince Carter?
Lebron jamsa
how old r u again …
Next year we gon see a 360 no scope from the 3 pt line
Zach is the Prima Balerina of NBA Slam Dunk Champinoship. Sooo freakin graceful and smooth.
As a Timberwolves fan this is like looking at a picture of you and your ex and wondering what ever happened. I miss you Zach. 😭
Best one legged nba dunker ever next to Jordan. Both him and Jordan just be flying as soon as their left foot touched the ground
Jordan was overated.Hes not even close to what Lavine has shown in the dunk contests.
1:52 reaction gets me every time
His dunk shot is beautiful to watch again after some time

Zach Lavine is the greatest dunker we have ever seen in the Slam Dunk Contest. Only few have come close to what he has achieved.
And he was definitely the winner in 2020
Now an Olympian, 2 time All Star, and soon to be NBA champion. Go Bulls!!!!
The legend.
best dunker of all time.. so far..
Lebron
This brotha got all 50's 2 years in a row.
When he was 20 & 21 years old. Absolutely insane
When is talks about "smoothness" Zach Lavine has it.
2022 and it still feels mind blowing

Zach Lavine deserves it, Gordon did great too, both great dunkers of their era!
He clearly won this everyone only remembers Gordon 1 dunk under both legs! Windmill and through the legs from the line??? Bruh it’s a no brainer
Gordon had the best dunk but Zach had everything else
The idiots are blinded by the mascot...

Those dunks are ridiculous.
We took these for granted 😪 I thought we’d reach another level of dunking after this but this was the peak for the contest

Best slam dunk dunker ever! Better than Vince Carter. You can only say Vince Carter is better because of nostalgia, fanboyism and 90's factor!
Nate Robinson Era still the Best
its a tradition to come back and watch this every year
Best dunker all time
Mans said its impossible to do a 360 from the free throw line, but uhh have y’all seen the clip today 😭😭
Dominique. Jordan. Vince. Zach and Spud are all I need...
