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

[@huncho8215]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@GilesFunnell]

Him and Carter some of the best OG dunkers

[@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

[@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

[@Marreroortiz]

2016 has been the BEST dunk contest ever!

[@stevlejo33]

we need these judges every year

[@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

[@squatdiddly3]

i love the way pierce walks out with the sign!

[@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

[@aviazx1799]

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

[@vargas218]

Welcome to South Beach Gerald Green !!!

[@DaLeadBull]

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

[@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.

[@RippyClippy]

You have to love Nate rob

[@Floydnewalla24]

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

[@davewebb608]

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]

[@ht82smash42]

One of the more underrated dunkers of recent memory

[@dude103100]

The true creator of the Dab 3:17

dude103100 nah its not the dab it's the dee brown

[@dude103100]

Konor Anderson Oh I see now XD

[@satrn5496]

Yes he is, just search it up on KZbin

[@Diaz23]

No Dee Brown 1991 Slam Dunk Champion did it better

[@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 !!!

[@ronjeremy1654]

"That dunk is grandmama's koolaid. Sweeet"

Bryceson Burden favorite player on the team right now and second favorite the first time he was here

[@retrotv1988]

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

[@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).

[@PastelitoPapi]

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

[@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

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

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

this dude has hopss & is very under-rated !

[@fingersp00n60]

so glad hes back

[@Starseed-uu4rg]

Favorite dunker

[@andreasf5882]

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

[@fredsavage3565]

0:49 can't believe that missing finger went unnoticed for so long before that article out....

[@aleks5905]

Back when the Dunk Contest was lit

[@drzyjay]

Best dunker

[@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

[@TheRealJYPark14]

MJ, Dr. J, Nique, Vince, and Kobe what a panel

[@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

[@austin78993]

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

[@ph10silva39]

Crazyyyy Real dunker 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

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

[@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

[@romansorokin2747]

dude I know you can bring them 3s to Us HEAT!!!

[@leeroyv5345]

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

[@CheffOuthai]

My top 4 for sure

[@ZrKappa]

Green is one of the best dunkers of all time.

[@RichKeYz34]

Paul Pierce and Gerald Green Were Unstoppable

[@LD-jb5zi]

Paul been funny as hell lmao! But this contest was super entertaining

[@Iisrupac]

underrated how? everyone knows he's a beast

[@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.

Gerald Green has the best NBA in game dunk ever.

[@proverbalizer]

possibly, and Vince Carter has the best non NBA in game dunk ever

[@AosZas]

Yes LeBron is really good, yeap MJ and Dr. J are legends, but only two guys give me the chills when I see them dunk. These two guys are Gerald Green and Vince Carter.

[@yuanlubin]

GG come back to life at houston

[@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

[@Antbeast23]

Gerald green planned out this so well

Yeah it was 07, They were laughing at Boston, didn’t have a clue what was coming.

[@Lundahlium]

BEST DUNKER OF ALL TIME !!!!

[@jesseascriven]

Probably the best dunks ever! Damn!

[@liljuve13]

Well, even though he did that last dunk during a game its still pretty damn sick

[@powergamesandsports1]

I wish he got his ring the next season... I wish he wasn't part of the deal for KG.. All would've worked out..

straight up dunks love it

The commentators talk about the Celtics losing we would go on to win the championship next season babe #CELTICNATION

[@onurguvercin]

Wade give 9/10

[@josephval4083]

This dude flies. Nobody ever jumped as high..period

[@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?!
