exactly...look how many free throw line dunks where they step on the line, or are at least 1-2 feet inside the line...
this 720 is freaking amazing
"The Main Event" fired a pass....uhm....the game itself did it? WTF are they talking about? And what the hell is AND 1?
Taking nothing away from this dunk, it would only have been more impressive in an NBA game or a faster paced AND 1 game.
Athletic feats such as these are admirable due to their level of difficulty, and this certainly is near the top. If you play basketball and have attempted to do any of these level of dunks (Carter windmills, Jordan reverse double-pumps, what have you -- keyword, attempted
), you will realize the incredible skill needed to gracefully execute such a dunk, let alone complete it in the first place. Props.

It doesn't have to be perfect, but it needs to be 720. What part of that equation is escaping you? It was a fine 450* dunk. It was a total failure as a 720* dunk since HE DID NOT ROTATE 720 DEGREES!

Yeah, why let those pesky little facts get in the way?
Call it an awesome dunk all you want, that's fine. But the second you call it an awesome 720 dunk you merely show how clueless you are.
It was amazing and everyone I have shown that played BB in high school or college was standing with mouths open.

Look at the angle of his feet when he picks up his dribble and look at the angle of his feet when he lands. he clearly spings atleast 720 degrees. anyone who knows anything about basketball will agree this is a 720 degree dunk. (as the one i'm quoting did after he watched it again).

ROFL! You guys are seeing what you want to see and going off on your childish little tantrums. First, look at a better video Here
Then look at the Diagram. The box represents the players orientation, his front is light grey, his back is in black. As you can see from the video his back is to the hoop when he takes off. On the diagonal path he is traveling he completes a full 360 starting with his back to the hoop right in front of it to his back to it again towards the side. He rotates another 90 degrees which on that angle squares him up to the basket. 360+90 = 450. Sorry to disappoint you, but that's about it. The proof is right there on the video.
