2016 NBA D-League Slam Dunk Contest Presented by Verizon

Six of the NBA Development League's most high-flying athletes put on a show on Saturday, Feb. 13 at Toronto's Ricoh Coliseum.
The NBA Development League, the NBA's official minor league, streams over 400 live games on the NBA D-League CZcams Channel and NBADLeague.com.

Underrated post

[@danieldanner7272]

It is better when it comes to the dunk contest

[@reggiethecommenter9137]

3:26 He should have done this every time. Anyone who has ever dunked a basketball knows how hard this dunk is. Wow.

[@LAUREL_PR]

Why are people hating on these players? These were some good dunks, not nba good, but it was still pretty good, and the d league jokes aren't really funny, these guys work their asses off to be where they are, most of the people commenting haven't done anything worth of getting attention

[@scorch7777777]

ok nigga no one cares about how you feel they fucking suck

[@goldblooded5515]

there always one guy that really proves he wants to be in the NBA, this year would be DJ stephons I can't wait to see the transition. he's with the grizzlys

[@LAUREL_PR]

+Rico Ramirez that's what I'm saying, people think that just because someone is in the d-league, it means they automatically suck. They don't get the credit they deserve, playing professional basketball with some of the worlds greatest basketball players and having everyone expecting you to meet their standards is very pressuring and not to mention, very difficult to do

[@ledgermayne1999]

Holy shit! A standing through the legs dunk. That's mad hops.

[@Shaun_Remington869]

He is tall as hell

There's a 5'9 guy who did a standing eastbay recently. Humans r evolving to be more athletic..

IDK WHY THEY ARE NOT IN THE NBA RIGHT NOW. CAUSE REALLYY, THEY BE CATCHING BODIES FOR SURE.

[@logix670]

lol dunking isnt what puts you in the nba, if they are only averaging 8-10 points a game and only playing 18-20 minutes in the d-league, then no they shouldnt be in the nba

[@user-wo3pw6st1w]

i know that but can they at least give them like a ten day contract or something to show they can be really well in the nba.

[@jakedeleon6455]

So you're telling me these guys are in the D League? If you showed me this video without any context, I would've definitely thought that they're future NBA players.

There's no way that 40" is the highest vertical in NBA draft history. I had a 33" vertical as a freshman in high school with no training and it was a nice novelty but nobody was knocking down my door to come play for their school.

[@slimb232]

Thought that was Shannon Brown😂 for a min

[@magicalzebra1798]

U guys r hating about the under the rim under the legs but u don’t get how high that standing vertical is

[@jaylenjohnson1902]

these r some good dunkers

[@bobbyvillareal2911]

They all can dunk. My opinion is that maybe they were all trying dunks that were too difficult instead of making normal ones but with power and flair. Anyone remember Harold Minor, how he won?

[@dafazxz7610]

[@gangtime8705]

5 years ago time goes fast none of these guys in g league right ? As it mostly vets up there for 5 years and if no nba overseas most

[@Jordan7123]

Spoiler! So the listed heights of Basketball Athletes..... at least in my experience trying out fro pro. They measure you with your shoes on, which makes sense, since we play the sport with shoes on. Which is why the listed heights are generous. I am 5'8 3/4". But when I tried out for the NBL, they measured me with my kicks on at 5'10".

[@neelg6067]

even the d-league commentators ain't NBA ready

[@marryson123]

I really feel bad for the D-League players. They play so hard for so little just for a chance to get into the NBA. When they eventually get into the NBA, they are merely a decent player...... I mean if you are really good, you would go straight to the NBA instead of starting from the D-League.
