The Vindication of Antonio Daniels

Coming in at around no. 5 on the "Great Injustices of the NBA" list, Antonio Daniels is best remembered for falling victim to a double ankle breaker by Allen Iverson, not for his impressive collection of poster dunks.

Without doubt, the most spectacular of these dunks is this two handed smash on Kirilenko accompanied by flailing dismount.

In addition, Daniels deserves some recognition for returning the favour to AI in that same game he himself got dropped. See Ballislife for more.

NB: He didn't make the shot.
