"LeBron James can't be a human being. Either that or he is some highly evolved version of a human being that is way ahead of his time," declared The Hoop Doctors after watching LBJ crush a few Hawk heads on Saturday. I think you might agree. Good lord, LeBron!

I honestly can't decide which dunk is better. Help me out in the comments, will ya?

I completely agree with Gbdup: #1 was better due to the higher degree of difficulty.

It is impossible to say which dunk is better because LeBron is an artist. Each dunk is uniquely beautiful in its own right. Comparing LeBron's dunks is like comparing da Vinci's Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, it can't be done.

the first dunk.. he got two atlanta players and he dunked on his own big man Z... the 2nd one really is just not fair to basketball.... i have to go with the first one, dunking on three people is nasty.. especially with the opposite hand and one of the three is your own teammate

Dunk #1 I'd classify as "sick". The 2nd could be defined as "nasty". The latter looked prettier, the former we probably won't see the likes of in a long, long time unless we're talking Sir Charles on a 6-foot rim playing a middle school B-team.

RMJ=H, I believe GBdup is completely off topic. LBJ didn't do a thing to reduce national debt. Instead he increased ATL's with BOTH dunks. The hight of Hawks' defensive debt even kept him about a mile from the rim on each one. That really made it difficult. And that's where I agree with you.

Yo how you gonna baptize three people with the off-hand?!?!? Disgusting!!! Dunk 1 is the joint. Side Debate: Is this clip evidence in the case for LeBron being the greatest athlete in the NBA or evidence in the case for Z being the most unathletic player; Z's so slow his own teammates dunk on him!!

Ok Folks the way the cavs are lebron are playing right now, if he keeps up playing the way is for the entire season he should unanimously win the MVP agree or disagree?

KD would have named him MVP last season already. So LBJ is up for MVP after being stolen of it last year. You know, like other players before...

mannnnn, LeBrons dunks are kind of boring. Really. That's probably why wont enter the dunk contest. No grace in those dunks. That's like watching anyone with no style dunk on a lowered goal.
oh and, FIRST!!!
yeaaaaaaah, in your face lil bea autches.

Why do Kobe Bryant fans always feel the need to post on LeBron-related articles and talk trash about him? Is it because you guys are all scared of how good LeBron is already? 23 year old LeBron is already better than your hero Kobe, who is 7 years older LOL. Every Lebron-related article has at least 20 Kobe nuthuggers posting on it saying "LeBron can't shoot" "LeBron can't D up like Kobe" or like the douchebag here "LeBron's dunks are kind of boring" LOL...Kobe fans are SO SCARED of LeBron it's not even funny. Relax guys, your guy just had his time on top..it's over now, because everyone knows LeBron is better than Kobe now.

Horford should have been called for a technical on the 1st dunk. Heck, LBJ's dunk on Garnett's head last year in the playoffs was with Garnett throwing a forearm into his chest. The guy is a LB playing in the NFL.
"evidence in the case for Z being the most unathletic player"
Having two surgically reconstructed feet will do this to you. Before the foot injuries, he had the skills of a young Olajuwon. Still amazed that he is still playing- let alone producing as much as he does.

amazing, and I'm not even a Cavs fan (I'm a Pistons fan). I was wondering..is LeBron human or not? Afterall, think about it, LeBron is not even an human name..it's more like an alien name.
Amazing nonetheless.

The thing that no one mentioned yet is that LeBron James is an unparalleled GAME dunker. He's mediocre at best when it comes to show-dunks like in the 2003 McDonald's High School Slam Dunk Contest (check it out on YouTube or elsewhere), but his leaping ability is amazing, especially off one foot (he's one of the rare breeds that tends to jump better/higher off one foot), even in that 2003 contest as a high school senior.
But again, during games, no one in the NBA right now can compare to LeBron James (at his position and height class at least; Dwight Howard is equally as good but also another story, as he is a PF/C, of course). In the case of this video clip, there's no doubt in my mind that Dunk #1 over two Hawks and a Cav will be in the category of superlative dunks for as long as the NBA exists. Dunk #2 is a display of that leaping ability I mentioned, as you can see him going away from the basket and still dunking the ball WITH AUTHORITY.

Reply to HauComHaSoLong:
You are on point, for sure, my friend! Too many Kobe-supremacists/LeBron-haters out there (I would know, I'm from L.A.), forgetting that Kobe is definitely no longer in his prime and LeBron, scary as it is, has yet to peak. Watch out, Association. LBJ will surpass Kobe in most every relevant statistical category when it's all said and done.
