Gerald Green - 2007 NBA Dunk Contest (Champion)

[@douglaspinsak1246]

His windmill alley-oop against the Rockets is one of the best dunks of all time.

[@neverlandspidey6772]

Confirmo

[@swalker9482]

No one jumped higher than green in his prime, crazy vertical

[@Alexander-vu6fw]

S Walker Wilt Chamberlain had the highest vertical 50 maybe 51 inches

[@socrateees]

Derrick Jones jr

[@ghost1235]

Jamario Moon lol

[@leadiceman22]

James white

[@darkmephilez]

Wilt picked pennies off the TOP of the backboard. Lmao thats some hops.

[@casso9]

Green, Dominique, LaVine, MJ, J-Rich, Vince, and Dr J in a dunk contest. That, and my life's complete.

[@panosathanasioy3402]

+Picasso dont forget dominique

[@lachlanmorley8324]

+panos athanasiou Nah Dominique was a power dunker with no creativity, id rather watch him dunk on people in games then in slam dunk contest

[@realrossboss379]

how could you leave a Dominique you got to be tripping

[@davisross4763]

no mj. put in igudala

[@sebbb3205]

+Picasso Aaron Gordon

[@jaynaz2k5]

this guy has such hops, head is always above the rim

[@JDLegend21]

Crazy that he can dunk this well with only 4 fingers

[@goldensperm7182]

Dude still got 4 and a half fingers.

[@maciejguzek3442]

@@goldensperm7182 most people have 20

[@azathoth0820]

And a good three-point shooter also.

[@huncho8215]

2007 and he already have jaylen's jersey. A true time traveller right there

[@2Swift4u]

MJ gave him a 9 for his first dunk because he was pissed that Green jumped higher than he ever did.

[@brinmcphin]

no he gave him a 9 because he knows a great dunk, Terrence ross had a 10 on the side of the backboard dunk because of all he did in the air(360windmill) Gerald green showed crazy height but could have done something better with the height he had

[@HailKingSoma]

brinmcphin Actually, when some of the older players judge, they do it a little stricter than the others. It's a mixture of the fact that they've seen and done some of everything, and because they want to give them a little room for improvement.

[@brinmcphin]

Jalen Arrington so what are you disagreeing with me? lol

[@HailKingSoma]

brinmcphin Lol Not really nah, it just doesn't seem like they have too many reasons for low scores other than to make the dunkers more determined.

[@jakejohnson8223]

If green jumped higher than mj ever did then why Gerald green can't dunk from the free throw line? That's what I thought, shut up

[@jeffsmith8899]

This guy's one of my favorite dunkers ever !!! Probably one of the most awesome dunks ever was that alley oop where he wound up and threw it down.

[@krazyeman4]

Green was proof that you don't need to do crazy dunks to be exciting and win. Like the 2022 dunkers should have watched this video and realized they needed to follow the KISS method

[@PEProductionTeam]

Dr. J and MJ were hating.. lol

[@89fatal]

no... who are you? oh right, you aren't one of the greatest dunkers of all time. you cant argue against michael or the doctor.

[@jjjhs083]

***** just because you are a great dunker doesn't mean everything you say goes and nobody elses opinion matter

[@ranierawalker3507]

Dave L if its dunking then it kinda does

[@tarroyale]

hell yeah they hating. even though they were legends of the dunk contest micheal was still bring stingy bout the 10 that green deserved. that boy can do almost any dunk mj could do.

[@PEProductionTeam]

word.. i know they are legends but getting old sucks kinda.. green is a beast, at dunking you are right

[@adamsmileyface]

Honestly, the player with the highest vertical in the NBA? I think so

[@Moneyg73]

Adam Yang i think so. He does it effortlessly too.

[@st4r444]

Wilt had the highest vertical ever

[@oceaniamonarch5404]

Nate Robinson

[@pervyboy69]

@@st4r444 If Wilt really had the highest vertical there would be pictures of him well above the rim.....there arent any.

[@icyboy771z]

Highest vert prob Nate Robinson

[@camm2996]

he should have stayed another year, and won a ring with boston

[@thomashester2]

i agree but he's flourishing with the Suns. What it his choice?

[@harshcritick]

He was part of the trade for KG so no

[@camm2996]

Eric Lee agreed.

[@razkable]

they traded the slam dunk winner for kg?...celtics made a bad trade....kg

[@d_walsh]

they traded him

[@The.Mau.]

Nate is like a slight taller version of Kevin Hart

[@alphabeta4028]

Nate is 5'9" and Kevin Hart is 5'4", 5 inches taller is a lot.

[@stevlejo33]

we need these judges every year

[@Marreroortiz]

2016 has been the BEST dunk contest ever!

[@aviazx1799]

That final dunk was almost a windmill off two feet from the free throw line

[@ht82smash42]

One of the more underrated dunkers of recent memory

[@DaLeadBull]

His hops are absolutely ridiculous, now he's kicking ass with the Suns!

[@ronjeremy1654]

"That dunk is grandmama's koolaid. Sweeet"

[@RippyClippy]

You have to love Nate rob

[@tokentroll]

“Danny Ainge has turned the Celtics into the clippers...” One year later 2008 NBA champions.

Vince Carter greatest dunk contest every Never Again will you see Those types of dunks Half man half amazing Just Wish he could have won some titles

[@dmvnumberspage5548]

He has a chance to win one this year.

[@blackalgorithmist000]

Aaron Gordon vs Zach Lavine

[@PastelitoPapi]

Michael Jordan's face: you're all beneath me

[@ThEgAnStAbOy]

I know Mj and dr J are one of the greatest of all time and legends but fucck they annoy me so much, they're such haters and arrogant af too!! I mean they can never admit something or be real about something, like I've seen dunk contest when someone truly deserved a 10 and everybody gave them a 10 but dr j kept giving a 9 or 8, and also in interviews they got so much hate for players we have in the nba today and I wish like the other legends like magic johnson for example, he's so humble and nice and REAL af! this is the golden age of basketball every player in the league are so fucking athletic and alot of role palyers in todays nba could've been superstars in the 70s-80s and maybe just maybe even early 90s

[@purplegill10]

RoseUpLikeDerrick 1 Not to mention the whole deal with Kwame Brown

[@leodarealest]

Quentin Coberley how would you know? I doubt you were alive back then to watch it. Highlight reels can make any era look like the best.

[@dlodlo1988]

Hozaam 23 Yeah

[@rambosexy2009]

Hozaam 23 "this is the golden age of basketball" That is dumb.

[@Amick44]

Quentin, u couldn't be MORE correct. The game isn't as good as those days. Ok, we have the Warriors and their combination of star power AND ball movement. And a healthy Spurs team. And maybe .... a healthy Celtics team. But little else. Otherwise, a few individual stars (Lebron, Westbrook, Harden).

[@jamalstewart6981]

Man I wish the Celtics could've kept him because he has so much to offer as an elite player and that me and him also share the same birthday as well 1/26, but anyway one time for the Aquarius out there though .. #BLEEDGREENNATION !!!

[@andreasf5882]

OMG How HIGH was GGreen at his 1. dunk??? half of his head over the rim ??

[@squatdiddly3]

i love the way pierce walks out with the sign!

[@coolguy02536]

Ah, the year the Celtics lost 18 in a row and Pierce threatened Ainge to leave the team so he traded 11 players for Garnett and Allen. What a shitshow.

[@deliladelacruz6277]

Then we won a championship I'll take that

[@Mayordomo32]

Lol not sure what your issue is, that team was stacked

[@coolguy02536]

stacked garbage. Could you even name the Starting 5 that year?

[@Mayordomo32]

2007-2008 season? Rondo, Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins. They had a hell of a record

[@will326]

Connor it could not have been becuase green is wearing 5 and kg wore 5

[@ANDYYOUU]

Can’t believe Green’s no look dunk got less points than 2024 JB’s 😂

[@retrotv1988]

I was a 9 year old watching this man go off im about to be 23 now lol that’s crazy

[@realrossboss379]

I've never seen no one that high his head was at the top of the square on the 1st. Beyond amazing

[@Iseechu]

"They've seen it all" Aaron Gordan & Zach Lavine: hold my 50

[@Floydnewalla24]

Something good for the Celtics. They needed this. Brings in KG and Allen Wins ring next season.

[@austin78993]

You know Vince is a legend when they are still talking about him like 7 years later

[@fingersp00n60]

so glad hes back

[@EGarrett01]

This dude HAS to come back. He's been doing some kind of special workouts or something and his hops have reached stratospheric levels.

[@TwoTimes77]

0:49 he's missing part of his finger.. lost it from dunking when he was younger

[@polorican5023]

he prolly was wearing a ring

[@Jt9112210JpT]

Kenyon Martin na he legit doesn't have a finger. I doubt he lost it from dunking tho. They even make foam fingers for him in Phoenix

[@polorican5023]

Jt Proda ye i just ment dat he probly was wearing a ring when he was dunking i broke my finger once cuz i dunked wit a ring on cause it got caught in the rim

[@MattchuBoiSwag]

Jt Proda Nah, he lost it from a dunk accident when he was young.

[@chase2013jw]

Kenyon Martin you are correct

[@wesleyjohnson6011]

Good for him. Some of you may know his right hand only has 4 fingers. But what you don’t know is how he lost his finger. when he was 11, he was competing vertical with his brother. And his finger got caught on top of the doorway

[@lilboosie5]

Back here after Jaylen Brown didn't do the tribute justice

‘If he’s 5’9 I’m a Rhodes Scholar with my C average’ 😂 Chuck never disappoints

[@frankarlossanchez5571]

Imagine some of the dunk contest in the past couple years with these judges, some players wouldn’t even get to 7 😂

My top 4 for sure

[@xxacidusxx2]

i don't play basketball and i rarely look at basketball videos online so seeing something like 3:15 just really blows my mind

Gerald green planned out this so well

[@Chaldean4life91]

i did some research and apparently he was at the Sprite 2007 Slam Dunk comp. theres even an interview with him, lol.

[@leeroyv5345]

His best one is from another one I think. He blew a candle out on the back of the rim and then dunked.

[@jesseascriven]

Probably the best dunks ever! Damn!

[@jsparky77]

This format is so much better than the new one. That and the league keeps choosing young inexperienced players that can't handle the pressure and get too nervous. Bring back the stars. Notice how all the best dunk contests had legends like MJ, Dr J, Wilkens and other stars like J-Rich in them?!
