2011 Slam Dunk Contest: JaVale McGee Earns A Perfect Score By Dunking Two Balls At Once

JaVale McGee earned a perfect 50 with his first effort in the 2011 Slam Dunk Contest during the NBA's All-Star Saturday festivities. It was actually dunks, as the Wizard center had a second 10-foot rim rolled out adjacent to the contest rim. After a few missed attempts, McGee managed to dunk two balls on the two rims, with one of them being passed off the backboard. It was both unique and impossible.

Blake Griffin trailed McGee by one point after the first set of dunks. Griffin hit a twisting, wrong-way 360-degree two-hand tomahawk to earn a 49. Julius Erving docked Griffin a point for some reason.

Serge Ibaka had a legit free throw line dunk, but earned just a 45 from the stingy judge's panel. DeMar DeRozan had an incredible Isiah Rider off of a stanchion pass by Amir Johnson, but earned just a 44 because it took a few attempts.
