TRWhiplash The Price dunk, while incredibly impressive, has nothing on Baron's in terms of context and skill.
Baron's dunk was done in a playoff game against a guy who is known to be one of the best shotblockers in the game. They met in a midair collision and Baron was still able to use his strength to hold him at bay.
Price dunked over Boozer (who obviously gave ground very quickly and flopped trying to draw a foul) in a pretty meaningless regular season game. I don't think it's even close.
-
Vonin 16% BD to 84% Ronnie Price?
Give me a break how can you compare these two dunks?
-BD's dunk was during the playoffs as the Ronnie Price dunk was during the regular season.
-BD drove past one guy and slammed it into AK47's face which was clearly more contested then against Boozer (he just stood there with his hands up).
-The defense collapsed when a Sac player dumped it outside to Price and he drove in with 3 teammates near the basket. (there were no warrior players in the paint on BD's dunk on AK.)
-
Captain Keekles Theres no discussion. Not only does Baron's dunk have a higher degree of difficulty (I remember thinking as he went up that he'd be lucky to flip the ball even toward the basket), its context pushes it over the top. -
protac6 Are u serious? No contest. Baron owns this round. There is no comparison to the difficulty along with the impact. Not to mention the atmosphere of the playoffs with the Roracle Arena fans.(And It's on mainstream TV)
Ha. Heres a video to make things look better.

Atma Brother #1 In the words of LL Cool J...
DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK!

kdayacap Baron Davis hands down. How is Ronnie Price's dunk so high when its practically the same as any other dunk on someone whos trying to take a charge. If that dunk is up there, Ariza on JOneal should be up there or Ty Thomas on Josh Smith. Must be a lot of Kings fans here. -
Atma Brother #1 WE BELIEVE.

... While Game 3 of the 2nd round series against the Jazz wasn’t the last game of the Warriors 2006-2007 season years from now we’ll look back and see it as the final exclamation point to a thrilling season of Warriors basketball. There was that little dunk by Boom Dizzle that I'm sure you've all seen by now with Stephen Jackson dusting his shoulders off. It even won the dunk of the year on Ballhype (thanks to Warriors Nation ...

Filed under: Nets, Wizards, NBA Videos, Washington, DCLast year's 'dunk of the year' race was hot, and there'd already been several solid entries by this point. This year's been more cross-overs and 360 blocks, I guess. Anyway, here's an early contender (joining Baron's Bad Creation) for The 2007-08 Poster Award, via our good friends at Bullets Forever. Nice knowing you, Richard Jefferson. It's all in the follow-through, and DeShawn Stevenson knows this. If DeShawn hadn't ...
