Who Chaired It Better? Friends of Terence Stansbury vs Kenyon Martin

Ben McLemore's decision to listen to Shaq's advice and jump over a throne was ill-advised. Impressive as the dunk was, we can't help but think the rookie had a better non-gimmick dunk he could've gone to.
We'll never know of course because the league, in its infinite wisdom, truncated the dunk contest into essentially a one-and-done affair.

Thanks to the contestants for doing the best they could given the logic defying format.

Anyway, we were inspired to run a Slam Dunk Contest Furniture Throwback piece. So who sat on a chair better? Some dudes Terence Stansbury knew back in '86 or Kenyon Martin for J-Smoove in '05?

Who Blocked It Better? Young vs Smith

Thad Young's left hand denial of Dion Waiters' dunk attempt was nothing short of spectacular.

It reminded us of another high flying lefty, who, in his youth, was catching dudes every another night.

Check out Josh Smith stuffing Chris Bosh at one end and finishing the play at the other.
