If you just watch the dunk in isolation, this one doesn’t seem so impressive. The defender ends up getting out of the way (good choice, I’d do that too) so Faried is able to have a free run and jump at the rim. However, rewind a few seconds and you see the play unfold. A power forward beating two men off the dribble with in and out dribbles? Sign me up for some more of that, thank you very much.
I cheat a little bit on this next one.
