3. Brook Lopez
You might remember that I said Towns doesn’t like to celebrate his dunks too much. Well, this slam is an obvious exception.
Even if you are a seven-footer, dunking over a seven-footer is no easy task. When they are out on the court, their main objective on defense is to make sure no one scores at the rim. You can’t get closer to the rim then when you jam on home. Brook Lopez tried his hardest to stop the former Kentucky Wildcat from putting two points on the board, but he just bit off a little more than he could chew.
Dunking over Lopez is no easy task, either. Not only is he a mountain of a man, he has a lot of muscle and body weight, which is not a bad thing. In order to get to the basket through him, you either have to push him back with a shoulder or just go right over the top of him. Towns picked the latter.
How about we stay in the Eastern Conference, but head out of the country? Time to check on Jonas Valanciunas.
