The other thing about the Wade dunk I like is that Jordan and I believe Pippen were in the stands and I think Lebron had just missed a dunk in the last possession or something like that.
LeBron answered that dunk though if I ain't mistaken.

It has NOTHING to do with nostalgia. The fact of the matter is it was a playoff game, two very good players in Pippen and Ewing, two very good teams in the Bulls and Knicks that had history amongst each other at the time, both individuals collided in mid-air WITHOUT Pippen having to push or knee Ewing to get additonal space, and then the finish with Pippen standing over Ewing with nuts in the face (pause) like he owned him. Looked at the reaction of both teams after the dunk, both of them were ready to fight and the crowd reaction was incredible. Then the icing on the cake was Pippen telling Spike to sit his black @%% back down!! Again, it gets NO better than that.
For all you dudes saying Wade vs. Sideshow Bob or anybody else for that matter it's back to the drawing board for you.

I don't think enough people understand the difficulty of this play. Undermining the play saying Lebron should've dunked it. Look at where Lebron was when Wade caught the ball. He sprinted 3/4 of the court, ahead of the Pacers pack, and caught the ball perfectly at just the right moment to lay it up. Everything was all in one smooth motion. When the alley oop is thrown from that far out, you best believe it's hard to get the timing down when you're sprinting near the length of the court as well, but Lebron made it look easy.
Wade's part is not to be underestimated as well. Not just the strength and accuracy but also just knowing to throw it at the rim in the split second this all took place.

I look at that Pip on Ewing dunk as one of the best @#$% you moments I have ever witnessed in my entire life.
I mean, it was BLATANT disrespect. It was not just Pip on Ewing, but the Bulls on the Knicks, Chicago on New York, the Bulls vs the whole damn world for that matter.
Vince was great, but it was over a dude who never mattered before and never will again other than getting dunked on. And it was OVER the dude. Impressive, sure. But Pip went THROUGH this 7 foot shot blocker. He put that dunk on Ewing's tombstone. If Ewing ever got famous and needed a logo like the jumpman, I would nominate that dunk.

like i said, because it was ewing.
we make a point to say it was andy because the ONE thing you CANT say about andy is that he's frail....shawn bradley was frail...
andy is a solid man.
Yall going so far as to nitpick HOW wade jumped in the air?
physically inaccurate? bruh, the second one in the air is always going to have more force, you lose force as its exterted, wade's force from running then jumping was literally being lost by the nanosecond...whereas, andy, who was planted before he jumped, was more solid...his position was much stronger than wades....he may not have had as much enertia behind him, BUT, he most certainly should have won the "collision"...definitely shouldnt have flown backwards, rolled up, into the padding like wade went super saiyin or something
9/10 if a big man jumps, even off a backpedal, and contacts a guard who is in mid air, and has been in mid air before the big jumped, the guard is going to topple and hit the ground...$#!!, i'd say 10/10 but pippen and wade are anomolies
the second person to leave their feet will always have more power...look in football...a reciever jumps to catch the pass, the defender jumps second to make contact....reciever ALWAYS gets layed. same logic applies here...andy jumped INTO WADE TO MAKE CONTACT with wade AFTER wade jumped, and got ROLLED BACKWARDS
the play isnt that he dunked on andy
its that he had dude rolled up backwards like a sleeping bag
AND HE GOT UP LIKE HE GOT DIRTY FOULED OR SOMETHING
ewing was mad about being dunked on, but moreso about being stepped over....the step over is the craziest thing about the dunk
not that ewing got dunked on (people dunked on him)
not the crowd reaction, team reactions, none of that
cause if thats the case, vince's dunk wins off KGs reaction...
kgs reaction to vince's dunk > anyone's reaction to pippens dunk
up until wade yammed on andy, that was my fav dunk, the pippen one
the vince one is hands down the best ever
dudes putting too much merit on names of the person who got dunked on
who cares if hes a nobody? he was 7'2" and got completely jumped OVER
that's the goat.
pippen vs. wade is actually debatable...
i just personally think wade's dunk was nastier than pippens...
it was meaner...more vicious
pippen was so smoove

For my money, this is the single OMG'est play that I've seen in sports. Not because he did anything crazy athletic (like jump over a 7-footer) but because that play exemplified his winning-ness and IQ. To be able to see that play unfold, realize that the throw would be short, run from short to where he was in that picture and then relay the ball.. Insanity..Originally Posted by PersiaFly
This is one that I think I don't really get, maybe because I never played baseball.
It was a heads up play but I don't get why it's sooooooo OMG crazy.

Wade's dunk over Varejao has no place in this debate. VC and Pippens dunks were better
Like i said earlier what makes Wade's dunk over Andy any better than the two hand dunk ON Perkins (besides the travel
)
