NBA dunks of the week: Feb. 1 - Feb.7


From all of the rim-rattling, posterizing throw downs that we've witnessed throughout the week in the NBA, these five dunks reigned supreme, earning a spot in our NBA Dunks of the Week.

(From Feb. 1 to Feb. 7)

5. Ryan anderson

Ryan Anderson has never been known for his athleticism — nor for his leaping ability. But low and behold, the Sixth Man of the Year candidate proved that even the Black Mamba can find himself on the wrong end of the highlight reel.

4. LeBron James

LeBron James throws down tomahawk slams with such frequency that they've become a dime a dozen over the years. But the 31-year-old slammed this one with an amount of ferocity that warrants a top five ranking for the week, emptying the lane as he plowed toward the basket.

3. Dwyane Wade

Flashback Friday alert: D-Wade turns back the clock with this dunk on two unsuspecting defenders in transition. He may not get up quite as high as he used to, but the 34-year-old has proven time and time again that he still has some gas left in his tank.

2. Zach LaVine

The 20-year-old 2015 NBA Slam Dunk Contest Champion shows off his freakish hops once again with this alley-oop finish from Shabazz Muhammad. If this is just a preview of what he has in store for this year's dunk contest, we're in for a treat.

1. Andre Drummond

Watch out, LaVine, because Drummond — also a contestant in the Slam Dunk Contest — is coming for your crown.
