Top 5 slam dunks of last season

Less than 24 hours to go before the NBA season of 2014-15 begins on Tuesday night on with the defending champions San Antonio Spurs going up against their state rivals Dallas Mavericks. Despite the excitement and buzz for the upcoming season, instead of looking ahead for what this new season holds for all teams let’s look back at the previous season one last time with the best and most entertaining category there is - the best dunks. LeBron James (16), Blake Griffin (12), DeAndre Jordan (11), Gerald Green (10) and Taj Gibson (6) were the top 5 players with most “dunk of the night” awards last year.In these top five only two of them make it to the list of the top-5 dunks. Postering, degree of difficulty and complexity of the dunks are the top parameters to decide the rankings. Here are the best dunks from last season.

#5 Gerald Green

Phoenix Suns guard Gerald Green exploded on to the scene last season along with the team’s suprising performance. He had numerous dunks last season but this one stood out. In a road game against the Brooklyn Nets, Green dunked the ball with a double pump move on a fastbreak off a steal over Nets rookie Mason Plumlee.

No doubt the dunk is extremely acrobatic and scores a 10 on degree of difficulty but it loses out on posterising and complexity.
