NBA dunks of the week: Feb. 29 - March 6


From all of the rim-rattling, posterizing throw downs that we've witnessed over the past seven days, these five dunks were our picks for NBA Dunks of the Week.

(Dunks from Monday, Feb. 29 through Sunday, March 6)

5. Zach LaVine

The 20-year-old, two-time NBA Slam Dunk champ makes it look too easy, effortlessly gliding to the rim for yet another highlight-reel finish. It was far from his first time earning a spot on this list, and something tells us it won't be his last.

4. JaMychal Green

The second-year man out of Alabama put Rudy Gobert, the shot-blocking aficionado from France, on the wrong end of a poster with this one-hander. He earned a technical foul for the post-dunk stare down, but can you really blame him?

3. Quincy Acy

Acy quickly transformed being lost in the paint surrounded by three defenders into a vicious one-handed slam, followed by a quick piggyback ride from the Birdman.

2. Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Greek Freak has become a human highlight-reel over the course of his three NBA seasons, and he continued his reign of posterizing terror once again this week on none other than the three-time All-Defensive First Team shot-blocking menace: Serge Ibaka.

1. Willie Cauley-Stein

Didn't anybody teach Willie Cauley-Stein to respect his elders? With this purely poetic two-handed jam, the rookie gave the veteran a lesson in the art of dunking, which is all the more beautiful through the eyes of the NBA's Phantom Cam.
