Proof That JJ BAREA CAN DUNK! 9 Forgotten NBA Dunks

You probably all know this moment when Lebron basically ended Jason Terry’s life. This statement may even be more on point for the Deandre Jordan dunk. The league has seen a lot of phenomenal dunks and unfortunately some of them end up buried and forgotten. So here are a few to refresh your memory. What up everybody my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. 1.And we start off strong right off the bat with one of the best dunkers in NBA history. Gerald Green. After that 2 foot jump stop everyone expected a floater or a shot but dude exploded out of nowhere and threw it down. 2.Speaking of facial dunks, I’m sure that everybody knows the epic Baron Davis dunk on Kirilenko, but to me equally as awesome, but completely forgotten is this one against none other than Kevin Garnet. Stuffs the basketball right in his face. Man, all of you younger guys need to look up some videos of Baron Davis, the guy had crazy hops and a nasty compilation of facials. 3.Here’s another great one from way back in the day. I love this dunk because Marbury catches an alley oop,completely turned with his back to the basket. Never once looks at the rim. And when you also consider that he’s a modest 6 foot 2, this dunk is extremely impressive. Even though he’s a legend in China, Starbury was a baller in the NBA as well, don’t get it twisted. 4.This is a similar style dunk and you probably know it but it’s too good not to put it in. Look at this! Back to the basket, the pass is low, but J.R. Smith displays superhuman athleticism and Madison Square Garden explodes. 5.Check out how Quincy Acy completely demolished Marcin Gortat who is a big dude himself. And no running start, that’s the most impressive thing to me here. Acy gets the rebound cocks it back and throws it in. Hey quick time out. As you may have noticed I’m posting videos throughout the entire off-season so hit the notification bell for new content almost every day. Back to the video. 6.Chris Paul is 6’1’’ and Dwight Howard is 6’11’’ and of course one of the best defenders in his heyday. Which is what makes this moment truly amazing. Chris Paul elevates and detonates with Howard on his back and the foul. 7.And speaking of 6’1’’ little guys, here’s a rare dunk from Ronnie Price who goes all over the outstretched Carlos Boozer. My goodness, what a finish but even the courage to go up chest to chest against a big man like this is wild. Shoutout to Ronnie Price. 8.I’m putting this one just for fun just because this is the only time that JJ Barea was seen dunking in the NBA. At 5’10’’, and by no means an extremely athletic guy, he doesn’t have an in-game dunk under his belt. The closest thing to it is this moment right here but as you can see, it was unsuccessful. However it’s nice that we do have proof that he could actually dunk. 9.Saving the best for last. J.R. Smith is out of his mind. I’ve never seen a 360 alley oop like this one, and to be honest there’s a reason. You need to be crazy enough to even think about pulling this off. I never see this in the compilations of best dunks, so I needed to show it to you. Smith is also one of those guys with incredible highlight tape when it comes to dunks. So look him up. Let me know how many of these you knew and which one was your favorite. Again, hit the notification bell for new videos throughout this entire off season. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
