“That’s not a 10” Camera turns to D Wade

[@mrbig6856]

And a couple of 9s being held up around him 😅

[@scotjonesxs]

candle dunk deserved a 50

[@jimmierustler9486]

Gerald looked like he was 15 here

[@quantumleap4023]

That's cause he was.

[@unleashed399]

Quantum Leap lmao

[@southwest702]

Charles Barkley says "that's not a ten" then score comes out "who didn't give him a ten"

[@wpjohnston0213]

This, this right here is what is missing from current dunk contests. The fun and imagination

[@tristenmelder4138]

Kenny said is he gonna jump over that ladder 😂😂😂 he must have like a 100 inch vert

[@brucelau2023]

Really tho the “Birthday cake” dunk was one of the most underrated dunks Gerald Green did

[@ayofabricio]

“HE BLEW IT OUT, HE BLEW IT OUT”

[@bigblock1661]

Welcome home GG

[@AntonVitullo]

[@anthonymartinez2953]

Big box just for one cupcake really🕯🔥

[@kyrie2slokkinfiregman738]

Bruh GG is my fav player.

[@seanmcclure]

That birthday dunk was what the dunk contest is all about. Creativity and unpredictability. Had he put a little drama in the socks dunk like he was slipping a little bit the crowd would’ve been behind him.

[@warduck7127]

Imagine he lit the net on fire and dropped the lighter

[@RJiswhitekobe]

Jaxsen Miller wouldve been dope

[@larryjohnson8704]

Young Gerald Green was a monster.

[@MediaTruth_]

Charles Barley wines about everything his eyes see🤣🤣

[@2No2feelings]

This is a 50 dunk man, especially when you after seeing 2021 dunk contest

[@charleslantzy180]

2022 topped it lol

[@coachb2424]

I wish these dude was judges in the 80s

[@lalocastillo7738]

Wow I remember this dunk when i was back in school

[@503TD]

He should have won simply cause his head is above the rim every dunk crazy

[@caleblott9958]

Why is kevin durant on the rim

[@okcgang2511]

Caleb Lott LOL

[@xxxtentacionsnappyasshair6129]

Caleb Lott damn kd went a long way from just being a cupcake to a bigger cupcake

[@caesar5339]

7:21 "why he do the same dunk, though?" What kind of hater BS was that!? That dunk was so underrated, and difficult. Gerald Green top 5 NBA Dunk Contest contestant of all time.

[@quentingilbert5605]

[@okcgang2511]

[@mrpotato9405]

[@jahmallmarshall2215]

My son Mccants greatest NBA moment

[@rharris818]

And he only has 9 fingers!😮

[@Edgeyboy]

Before i watched the video i thought the guy was going to light the candle as he hung in the air 😂

[@Edgeyboy]

I guess you could say that dunk was LIT 😂

[@sammysimon590]

I thought he was going yo light it

[@madmartigan3921]

That was nasty!

[@EntomologyMajor]

1:48 2:08 slo-mo replay

[@AbeAyBay]

I like Chuck but he doesn't belong anywhere near commentary. He just doesn't get it. Also Kenny needs to shutup and let the players Dunk first, then say what they are doing after

[@shelethathornton1654]

P

[@visualizeme-tz3ng]

Youre tripping. Chuck is gold as a commentator

[@jUAN.T]

I love Timberwolves Gerald Green so much

[@paulranalli3367]

Jamario Moon sighting!

[@rosselliotcreations]

That cupcake is 10yrs old

[@anthonygrant694]

I thought he was going to light the candle while dunking.

[@deathmoverz]

The guy sitting in the ladder is risking his life for this 😂

[@justicegutierrez635]

[@MrAdobo-vi1cd]

[@Pexis1987]

Look, this dude needs to make a "KISS THE RIM" dunk - kissing the rim before the dunk!!!!

[@sause_god2367]

Who knew Kevin Durant will make in the dunk contest

[@chagchannel.]

GG signed his shoes and put on the table in front of D wilkins?

[@1NicOfficial]

Miss this creativity, 2024 was the worst one ever

[@FreeYourselvesGloballyProject]

How did the cake not fall down.

[@pepeserrano2793]

[@jerrodg938]

Why did Gerald green have to have a passer on all his attempts. He had the skills to jump from the free throw line

[@pant.brachannel9330]

Poor gerald green He left the winning team celtics

[@satrn5496]

I'm sure while he was blowing the candel he could eat it too

[@danjaymanalo84]

[@josalgado8704]

Bruh the thumbnail looks like he in love with that cupcake😆😂

[@jerrodg938]

[@lui.lazarte]
