These are tough choices, but I think in terms of difficulty, the Caron dunk in Sacramento is #1. It’s hard to tell if he really dunked the ball because he launched so far back from the rim.

But, I personally like both the Young on Bogut and the Locksmith on RJ equally much.

And what the heck was KG thinking? He got beat and he looked even worse when he tried to block Antawn from behind.

#1-Nick Young slams it on LeBron
#2-Caron Dunks crosses over Salmons and throws it down on Kevin Martin
#3- Nick Young posterizes Bogut
#4-Antawn drives past Garnett and dunks it home
#5-DeShawn Stevenson over Richard Jefferson

One of my favorites for this year. Nick Young with pump dunk on the fastbreak

My favorite is Nick dunking on Lebron too. If I remember right Letravel “got back” at Nick a play or two later with a cheap shot hard foul.

Nick over Lebron, mainly because its Lebron

All bias aside, the best one is Caron over Lithuania

caron’s dunk was definitely a highlight reel…… and alot of u are going to say he is just for deshawn…….. but nooo. what they didnt say was that Antonio yelled to deshawn to dunk on him, and that was exactly what he did, and the whole i cant feel my face thing was vicious. plus people said he losts his hops and well i cant tell. but caron on martin or deshawn on jefferson

Ok so after posing the question this morning here is my order. Realize I saw four of these live and the other two on TV so that might change things but i dont think so.

#6 – Nick posterizes Bogut. I liked the dunk a lot very nice move but Bogut rejected a dunk attempt by young later in the quarter
#5 – Antawn over Garnett- Two main reasons this made the list. Antawn rarely dunks and Garnett is one of the best defenders in the league. The move was great and the dunk was great for Antawn but just good in action.

#4 – Caron on Martin – Great move, great finish but mroe of a throwdown then a dunk
#3 – Nick on LeBron – Great dunk on LeBron but not fully extended and LeBron is kind off to the side.
#2 DeShawn Stevenson over Jefferson- I loved this dunk. it was awesome and I remember jumping up when I saw it.
#1 – CB3 sends Lithuania packing – Ok so its the first game I ever worked. And all I can tell u is I remember watching it happen step by step. Caron comes out here comes the guy from Lithuania and the whole time CB3 is just sizing him up. Then he rises, so does the guy from Lithuania and boom. As Caron said after the game “I buried someone alive today”. Honestly unreal! Top dunk of the year in my opinion.

SportsWiz — “Locksmith”??? Is that a handle for DeShawn?

locksmith is deshawn’s nickname for his defensive prowess.

Interesting — I’ve never heard it used, certainly not on the blog. Is it used by Wizards’ players and personnel? Around the league? It’s cool.

CB3 aka WARRIOR KING had the most sickiest dunk ever over the poor undermatched
Luthuania player. It hurt to see juniors butt hit the deck so hard and he even looked embarassed. My next favorite has to be the Leader Of The Pack Antawn Jamison dunk over Bostons Big Ticket! Thirdly it has to be Mad Dog Stevensons dunk over Richard Jefferson it was something he can do more of next year to get the #1 dunk. Finally what can I say for Mr. Hollywood Nick he just destroyed Lebron who is becoming devastating
dunker,three-baller and turnaround jump shot specialist and defensive stopper! I see alot of good things from Hollywood this up and coming year! Go Nickkkkkk
