Few things in life are more disrespectful than dunking on someone. It's equivalent to getting pantsed at school. In that same vein, there are fewer things more exciting in life than watching somebody get dunked on. (Tip: Next time somebody gets dunked on, watch the bench reaction. Chances are, they're going wild.) Here are my five favorite posters.

5. Larry Nance Jr. on Brook Lopez

The #5 spot on my list is generally pretty fluid. Many different players have graced this spot. Right now, Larry Nance Jr. sits at the five spot for doing this:


Nasty. Most of the time, when somebody gets dunked on, it's because they slid into help defense too late(A theme that we'll revisit later in the article). In this case, the help defender, Brook Lopez (#11 in white) was in excellent position. Nance crossed over, took one look at him and decided to go over him.


4. Scottie Pippen on Patrick Ewing

Not only did Pippen finish over Ewing in the open court, but he threw him down after the dunk and stood over him. No wonder Ewing wanted to fight after the play. This has to be one of the most disrespectful things that one human has ever done to another human.


3. DeAndre Jordan on Brandon Knight

WARNING: You're about to witness something graphic.

This is why you make sure to be in proper position to help! Brandon Knight (#7 in blue) slides over too late, which means that he ends up having to protect the rim against DeAndre Jordan. Knight is 6'3". Jordan is 6'11". Knight never stood a chance (bit of unintentional comedy here — the ball bounces off of Knight's head at the end of the play, adding to the disrespectful nature of an already disrespectful play).


2. LeBron James on Jason Terry


This was never fair. Jason Terry is a known trash talker who has history with LeBron. Jason Terry is six inches shorter than LeBron. Bonus points to Bron for standing over Terry after dunking on him. Unfortunately, LeBron received a technical foul for "taunting," which is nonsense. If you do this to someone, you deserve ten seconds to celebrate however you want.


1. Vince Carter on Frederic Weis

This dunk is known in France as le dunk de la mort, which means "the dunk of death." Nothing else needs to be said.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
