https://youtu.be/l3pvW0qY3oc One of the high points of every NBA season is the release of my “Top 100 Dunks” video. It’s the closest I ever get to making a video that broadly appeals to humanity at large (rather than the small subset of humanity that is enthusiastic about NBA role-players scoring pitiful amounts of points). Is…

DTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Bubble (2019-20 Bubble Dunkilation)
https://youtu.be/lrSqR118SHQ The NBA Bubble (or, as I unsuccessfully attempted to dub it, “The Bubb”) was a true success no matter how you look at it. A champion was determined in a mutually agreed-upon fashion, and nobody caught COVID while doing it. Now the NBA’s Disney campus lies empty, its only occupants being the ghosts of…
Read MoreMalik Monk All 27 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
On March 2nd, roughly a week before the NBA went into a COVID-induced hibernation, Malik Monk was suspended “indefinitely” for an undisclosed substance abuse violation. There weren’t a whole lot of details about Monk’s suspension available at the time, and then everybody forgot their need for details when a different kind of suspension, the league-wide…
Read MoreRichaun Holmes All 70 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Richaun Holmes, sitting at the too-small desk in his hotel room, looked at the containers of hotel-provided food with distaste. He had been expecting something like the high-end room service that he often ordered for himself on road trips: steaks, double-decker cheeseburgers, sushi made out of exotic sea life. What he was looking at was…
Read MoreLeBron James All 75 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
There was a mysterious beeping coming from behind him and to his right. But it didn’t sound like his alarm clock. This beeping was much less melodious than the beeping that he woke up to every morning. LeBron opened his eyes to look. But when he saw his surroundings, all thoughts of his alarm dropped…
Read MoreMiles Bridges All 47 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Look at these numbers. Just look at them: Miles Bridges 2018-19: 71 dunks. Miles Bridges 2019-20: 47 dunks. Those numbers are totally unacceptable for a young player who is supposed to be showing rapid improvement. As the provider of the finest dunk compilations (“dunkilations”) anywhere to be found in the Internetubes, I demand more dunkage…
Read MoreBam Adebayo All 145 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Bam Adebayo is a pretty good dunker. He’s not an insane acrobat like his teammate Derrick Jones Jr., but he can get up when he wants to, and, as you can see from this video, “when he wants to” is fairly often. Since his reputation as a dunk machine is pretty well established at this…
Read MoreJaVale McGee All 109 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
JaVale McGee stepped out of the taxi and, after collecting his luggage from the trunk, gave the driver a sizable tip. In one of the carriers, a trio of restless penguins stared out at the unfamiliar surroundings with distrust, then back to JaVale, as if demanding an answer to their silent question, “where are we?”….
Read MoreMitchell Robinson All 183 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Mitchell Robinson hesitantly approached the unmarked, but sturdy looking, door. He knew that behind that door waited the owner of the New York Knicks. Every previous trip he had made to this office had ended very strangely, and he had no reason to believe that this occasion would be any different. He had half a…

Montrezl Harrell got out of his car and walked up the long walkway to the front door of the mansion. He had been invited to this house before, but it never ceased to impress him with its size and grandeur. It was the kind of place that would have pet tigers roaming the lawn. He…
