Look Who's Back

May 23 -- Just to let you know that we are paying attention and that there is no slacking going on at the Dunk Ladder during the playoffs, we have our  second entry of the postseason. But just like receiving MVP awards, I'm pretty sure LeBron James, while appreciative, has his eyes set on bigger (and better?) things.
There's still plenty of work to do before LeBron can call himself an NBA champion, which he continues to stress is his ultimate goal, but remaining a constant on the Dunk Ladder is no small feat. Everyone is familiar with what it takes to crack this list. Style. Pizzazz. Flair. Power. All qualities that LeBron clearly possess.
But come June, will he add that coveted, shiny, glimmering affirmation of greatness to his possessions? Or will his lengthy claim to fame remain the same -- stat-stuffer, All-Star, MVP ... and prominent Dunk Ladder resident?

The Boss : Jan. 30, 2012

All the heat I took last season for not giving  'The Mosgov' a higher rating can get thrown out the door after seeing this banger. Timofey Mozgov can finally rest easy because the spotlight is now on Kendrick Perkins, a  familiar spot for the OKC big man.

Go Get It : March 10, 2012

No need to worry, Micah Hart. We see eye-to-eye on this one. Crowning it the best in-game dunk ever though might be a stretch. But we're taking nothing away from Green's jam. This was impressive.

Cheat Code 'Bron : Jan. 29, 2012

Forget the pass. Forget the finish. When you leap over a player for an alley-oop, whether with style or not, you're going to make this Ladder. We're rechristening him as "Mr. Up, Down, Left, Right".

Pick Up The Pieces : April 4, 2012

Blake Griffin continues to set the standard. After  leaping over cars and cracking the Dunk Ladder  without touching the rim, Blake achieves another Dunk Ladder first by becoming the first to make the list on a putback slam. Poppa Pau probably wants to burn the tape.

Paul George may not be a household name just yet, but dunks like this, in addition to being in the national spotlight in the Dunk Contest, are going to wake people up in due time.

Back Like I Never Left : May 3, 2012

Welcome back to the party J.R.! We knew you still had it in you. As for the Knicks, after all of these years, maybe they can finally put  another baseline hesitation jam behind them.

Silky Smooth : May 22, 2012

It's never a bad thing when your world-class defense leads to big-show offense. That's no foreign concept to LeBron James. And neither is finishing in supreme style in the open court.

Asik and Destroy : April 1, 2012

The phrase 'Asik and destroy,' usually reserved for Chicago big man Omer Asik when he drops the hammer, gets flipped around as Russell Westbrook crashes the party.

Better Late Than Never : Jan. 31, 2012

I'll be the first to admit that this jewel inexplicably slipped through my fingers at first. But the best readers in the world wouldn't let it go unnoticed by campaigning hard for it. Now, Paul George is officially in his rightful home.
