From the pick, to the roll, to the pass, to the finish — stylistically, this play is extremely reminiscent of some of the very best highlights of Amare Stoudemire’s career. The actual dunk is nothing overly spectacular — certainly not on the level of his famous smash over Michael Olowokandi — but it’s still a pleasure to see even a hint of vintage Amare from time to time. Pablo Prigioni came through with a solid Steve Nash impersonation as well with the slick little pocket pass.
Honorable mention to Danilo Gallinari, who sort of dunked on Greg Smith but not really.
Dunk rating on the Starbury Nastiness Scale:
7.5/10
Throwback Poster of the Day: Nate Robinson tries to end Richard Jefferson. He fails, but the video is still fantastic…
