It was a good dunk but nothing amazing. We have seen it rehashed tons of times by NBA, college and even highschool players. It's nothing special anymore. Didn't someone do this same exact 2 handed dunk last year with ease?
You know when the free throw line dunk stops being special? When Brent Barry can do it.

But it is amazing that a pro athlete can make an impressive dunk after 14 tries???
I have never seen a college or high school player take off from the free throw line...and to do it with 2 hands has never been a 41. That was the lowest score of the night and definitely not the worst dunk of the night, that is for sure.

Not really...I was watching for that too because a lot of guys that do that dunk really are over the line. He was definitely on the line but I would say it was in the middle of his foot. That is still INCREDIBLE for a two handed dunk.
I am not saying it was a 50 (although that argument could be made)...but a 41??? I remember guys missing dunks in past years that got close to 40.
The midget had some nice dunks, but he would have never advanced in any of the contests in years past. You only get 2 tries. How can he receive a high score when it takes 14 tries?

James White, 2001 McDonalds All American Game Slam Dunk contest. Did a 2H dunk from BEHIND the ft line where as Smith had his foot in front of it. White did it with extreme ease too. Like i said. I've seen it done before and it is far from being impressive.
I never said Nate's dunk was any good but Smith's dunk was pretty medicore.
Ok, i apologize. White had his foot in the same place Smith did, but White cocked the ball back and finished with ease. I found the video. Its at the end.

Dude, he was WAY over the line. His whole foot.
This dunk has been done way too many times, most of the time guys stepping on or over the line and thus not getting good scores. Try something freaking original and actually execute it. Two hands aint enough. This is the NBA where 5'9 guys are jumping over people and dunking. 41 points? probably deserved less
