Baron's Dunk on AK-47 Wasn't Even His Best Ever

Like any basketball fan, I'm completely in awe of the Baron Davis posterization of AK-47 Friday night in Oakland. When you factor in the rowdy crowd, the blowout, the coronary Mike Tirico had on the mic, and the Warriors getting back into the series, it will surely go down as one of the best dunks in NBA playoff history.

But was it even the best dunk of his career? Probably not. I just spent considerable time on Youtube, watching and evaluating Baron Davis facials on an assortment of players. There was a nasty one on Jermaine O'Neal, and a very impressive dunk on Kevin Garnett. Plenty of other players have felt his wrath.

If you ask me, however, to find Baron's best slam, you have to go back to his career at UCLA. Watch him drive the lane, seemingly walk on air, rise above two considerably taller players, and dunk on two bewildered Washington Huskies. It's downright filthy, and reminds me what might have been for Baron at UCLA had he avoided knee problems.
