      The problem is AG had a 50 dunk but so did both of his opponents. In case of a tiebreaker they should’ve made the judges choose the “better 50” rather than making them do more dunks because AG chose a weaker dunk that made him lose in the end. So I blame the format in which dunks are rated and how tiebreakers got handled.

      These dunks don't exist without the guys before them. That's how innovation works. They're all building off each other. It wasn't until Vince Carter that dunks started getting really crazy. Nobody had even done a between the legs off of a toss or bounce before him.

      That's why you can argue that Vince Carter isn't the best dunker in the dunk contest. Most iconic? Most memorable? Best innovator? yep. But objectively judging and comparing his dunks in a vacuum againts what guys are doing nowadays, his dunks wont stack up.
