Serge Ibaka: Was His Dunk The Most Underrated In Recent Memory?


No one expected Serge Ibaka to come out and throw down one of the most impressive dunks we've seen in a long, long time, but that's exactly what he did last night.

Ibaka came out and launched himself from the foul line. This was nothing like when Julius Erving and Michael Jordan did it and made questionable foul line dunks. The man was behind the line and he soared through the air and threw it down. Not only that, but the man is 6'10.

The crowd went nuts watching it on replay, but the judges only gave him a 45. There was some bad judging last night, but this was the worst of them all. When you throw down a legit foul line dunk, it should be a guaranteed 50.

Ibaka got robbed on that dunk and that, coupled with his overproduced second dunk, cost him a spot in the finals. However, I have a feeling we'll be talking about Ibaka's dunk for years to come and calling it one of the most underrated dunks of all time.

The man didn't get any respect coming into the contest and he certainly didn't get any once he took part in it either. it's a shame, but if he had done it in last year's contest, it might have stolen the show. It was just that bad last year.
