Top 10 NBA Dunks of 2012

Before we all get too caught up in the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs that are inching closer, I'd like to take a quick look back at some of the best plays from the recently concluded regular season. And when I say top plays, I mean dunks! (Sorry Purists. I love buzzer beaters as much as the next guy, but when half of the list is last second heaves it's time to make a separate list. So I picked a separate list. Dunks:) It's my belief that of the pro sports, the NBA have the best pure athletes, and this video serves as evidence. Watching these guys that are anywhere from 6 to 7-foot exploding on the breakaway or in the half court with the power and grace in which they do it is unworldly. Check out 6'10, 250lb Blake Griffin elevate to the point that a car could fit in the space between his feet and the ground while also having the coordination to grab the ball and jam it over a 7-footer while he's up there (#6). Or comprehend Russell Westbrook who's listed at 6'3 decide to only use one hand when catching Kevin Durant's ally-oop pass that was one foot above and 5 feet away from the rim when contacted (#3). Even if you disagree with me on which sport brings in the biggest, strongest, and the fastest athletes, I'm still pretty sure you'll walk away from this video better off. Enjoy!
P.S. For a better appreciation, in between each dunk on the countdown go stand under a regulation size hoop to remind your brain just how high 10-feet in the air is.
