No. 3: Maynor to Ibaka

Perk might be the king of jumping over and kneeing people on dunks, but Ibaka is definitely a close second. Obviously, this is a way bigger dunk than the Perkins one, but the knee here feels unintentional. Especially because Ibaka doesn’t seem to have any control of where he’s jumping or who he’s jumping on, it just looks like an accident.

Either way, this is an awesome dunk. Ibaka basically jumped on someone’s back to finish it and at the same time completely disrespected them with an accidental knee. This one really has all the ingredients of a great alley-oop: huge elevation, it’s on an opponent, and it’s not entirely clear whether Ibaka is going to be able to stick the landing at the end.
