Playoffs? Playoffs? Pippen's dunk was good, but only reason 5 has anything to do with the dunk itself. Being an epic NBA moment does not a better dunk make.Everything about the Pippen dunk to me is better for the following reasons.............
1. 2 great players against each other
2. Two teams with a rivalry at the time
3. Playoffs
4. The atmosphere/areana where the dunk occured
5. Pippen standing over Ewing after the dunk :x
6. Pippen telling Spike Lee to sit his *** down
7. Ewing being COMPLETELY embarrassed afterwards while Pippen is pumping the crowd up
You add up all the factors and the clear cut winner between the two would be Pippen. Yeah the VC dunk was nice, but to me all he did was dunk over (yes I know he's 7ft) some scrub European player. There's dunking over somebody............then there's dunking on/threw somebody. I'll take Pippen's dunk for the archives.
VC dunk was literally seen around the world due to it being on the Olympic stage. On Dunking "On/through" happens all the time. Literally dunking OVER a 7 footer simply does not happen in game. Even Shawn Bradley made the stink face when he saw that dunk. The ONLY thing that would have made it better is KG getting knocked unconscious. Vince is unquestionably the greatest in-game dunker of all-time so he probably has quite a few that are better than that Pippen dunk.
