The Best (And Worst) Rudy Gay Dunk Ideas

By Chris Littmann
A while back, we posted about Rudy Gay begging fans for dunk ideas for the NBA All-Star Dunk Contest. The contest hasn’t finished yet; there’s still plenty of time for you to break your face trying something stupid. But I decided to go through the video responses so far. It ended up being a mix of good and bad that I just couldn’t look away from ... at least once I got past those idiotic, overproduced ones pushing products. With that, we give you our three best -- and three worst -- entries for Rudy Gay to consider.
THE BEST
No. 1, SmoovUkraine: Tossing between the legs, over the back. I give major credit for the toss more than the dunk:

No. 2, Thirst123: Sick dunk going below both legs and another dunk with the handstand. Only reason he isn’t No. 1 is the fact that he cheated and entered multiple dunks.
No. 3, pimp34life: Another hot dunk that paid zero attention to the rules: no props! Still, that’s tight for two kids in the back yard.
THE WORST
No. 1, TheCoolGuys: We’ll just give you the title -- “Young Brent Barry.”

No. 2, markgbowas: Round of applause for the guy who might not be able to touch the backboard, rim or maybe the net.
No. 3, xxnwaxx1: I mean, just wow. I actually include this because the demented 5-year-old looking drawings made me laugh.↵
