Top 10 Thunder Dunks from Before the All-Star Break
With a few days remaining in the All-Star break, I put together a quick list of the Thunder’s 10 best dunks from the first 59 games of the season. Enjoy.
…
10. Terrance Ferguson takes off in Cleveland
Nothing better than the rookie sealing a blowout win by nearly jumping over the backboard. Kid has bounce.
…
9. Russell Westbrook puts MKG on a high-speed poster
This happened really fast and poor Michael Kidd-Gilchrist didn’t have the time needed to defend himself.
…
8. Josh Huestis gets the two-hander on Joel Embiid
I love Jojo but I’m here for him getting dunked on. Good on you, Josh.
…
7. Paul George on Zaza Pachulia in Oakland
This is great for a number of reasons, most notably the fact that Zaza Pachulia is the worst. When you consider that this was an emphatic moment in a big win against Golden State, the dunk is even better.
…
6. Ferg’s fast break windmill in Los Angeles
Putting the finishing touches on a career-high 24 points against the Lakers in style. Ferg probably should have been invited to the dunk contest.
…
5. Jerami Grant’s insane put-back against Utah
This one lands at number five based on the extension alone.
…
4. Westbrook drops a triple-OT hammer in Philly
This dunk is insane because it came in triple-overtime of a game Russ played 52 minutes in. He was about 48 minutes in at this point (a full game) and still had the juice to uncork this beauty over Dario Saric.
…
3. Steven Adams goes way up and over the Raptors
A violent, powerful jam made better by the celebration at the end.
…
2. Paul George posterizes Derrick Favors
I was at this game and the guy sitting next to me let out a high-pitched, primal scream in the immediate aftermath of this dunk. It could have also been me, I don’t know. Was loud in there.
…
1. Russell Westbrook punishes Thon Maker
I firmly believe Thon Maker should have retired after this. Perhaps the most impressive Westbrook dunk of all time and easily the best we’ve seen so far this season.
