Who Dunked It Better? Taj Gibson vs Kenyon Martin

More putbacks, this time of the "one-hand gather, two-hand finish" variety.

Taj Gibson putback vs Sacramento Kings

Kenyon Martin putback vs Seattle Supersonics
(December 22, 2004)

While both are highly entertaining plays, we feel Martin's effort is superior based on elevation and ferocity.

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?
