Ranking The Miami Heat’s Best Dunks Of The Year
Miami Heat: The Winner And Runner-Up For Best Dunk Of The Year
The race is tight, but not that tight.
2. Omer vs. Pacers
Again, a very nice dunk here. This one was just nasty though.
Here is what separates Omer Yurtseven‘s dunk from Bam’s against Cleveland. The defender was facing The Big Yurt and not only was he facing him, but he actually fouled him along the way.
Bam dunked on the guy’s back. He posterized him, but he caught him sleeping too.
Through it all, Yurtseven was able to get the big throwdown to go. He also got a little bit niftier with the finish.
It was probably necessary to catch it with two and finish with the one, to actually secure both the ball and the finish in the end, but that’s what was done, nonetheless. The reason that none of those were the number one dunk will be clear in moments as well.
1. Caleb vs. Bulls
As stated when ranking Strus’s dunk, his wasn’t on anyone else. That takes care of that.
When you look at the other two in the category, Adebayo’s and Yurt’s, theirs came on the end of an assist. Well, an assist is called that because it helps.
Who would have thunk? That’s what separates Caleb Martin‘s Caleb Cram on the Bulls from any of the others.
He went up, man on man, against the biggest Chicago Bull on the floor. He attacked the paint, the rim, and the opposing center, a near 7-footer, and finished with a thunderous jam that would make Zeus, himself, jealous.
Caleb did that. All by his lonesome.
The finish was ferocious. It was also elegant and easy on the eyes though, which, ironically enough, wasn’t made any more beautiful by the fact that he did it alone.
Next. Heat Need Tyler Herro ‘The Playmaker’ To Stick Around. dark
It just was. That’s why he should win the best dunk of the year for the Miami Heat.
Because, again—it just was.
