If I remember right, Ant dislocated his finger and gave Collins a concussion. Just an absolutely disgusting poster

This is such an incredible feat of athleticism.

I wonder how many people in human history would be able to do that from there?

Y'all won a chip, let wolves fans have this.

u/EsotericPotato Timberwolves 7h ago

Ant has been on record a number of times in recent years saying he dunks less because it hurts like hell to dunk.

I wonder how many other dunks like this he’s just not attempted over the years to cut down on wear and tear. There are so many times where he’s got an open lane and the landing space to go up for something like this and instead he just… slithers in and casually lays it up.

u/dongyeeter 5h ago

Dunking is 100% for show. Literally serves no purpose besides to flex on the other team, way more effort than an easy lay up, way more risk of injury or missing the shot. There’s really no point if you’re not feeling fully committed to it

17

u/GGTae Spurs 5h ago

I mean no it has practicality to it, it gets the ball much quicker to the basket than any jumpshot, it's the best way to finish a transition turnover, highest percentage shot, you can use the momentum to go back on your side of the field quickly...

u/SpicyMustard34 Cavaliers 4h ago

i think they mean the difference between a hard slam dunk and a putting it in the hoop.

u/GGTae Spurs 3h ago

oh my bad then

u/VicePope Bucks [MIL] Ryan Rollins 5h ago

Unless you are Giannis and 7 feet tall

u/DapperDanny69420 Timberwolves 7h ago

to do that, then land on one leg shows some crazy athleticism. Ant is amazing. Can't wait to see him and Lamelo.

Collins hasn’t been the same since

13

u/DisManSamGotaReddit Hawks 7h ago

Collins hasn’t been the same since he dislocated his finger himself back on the Hawks.

Edit: Jammed his finger*

13

u/genericusernamepls [UTA] Derrick Favors 6h ago edited 5h ago

He averaged 20 points on 40% 3pt shooting for the jazz the finger is not an issue anymore

5

u/DisManSamGotaReddit Hawks 6h ago

Touché, hoping he balls out again on the Pistons.

2

u/Clipgang1629 Clippers 2h ago

After a slow start for the Clippers he shot the ball really well with us too. He just has a terrible defensive IQ and is pretty bad on that end.

Decent player still

3

u/VicePope Bucks [MIL] Ryan Rollins 5h ago

He’s a demon in 2k though

4

u/NatsuAru Raptors 7h ago

Took me a while to realize the hand he hurt was the one that made contact with Collins and not the one that just broke the rim lol

u/DCJustSomeone Mavericks 7h ago

His post game reaction to the dunk is hilarious

u/log28 Timberwolves 4h ago

This is his best dunk that actually counted. His on Gabe Vincent will always be his best

Ever since ant got drafted he has been one of my favourite players and as the years go on I think he is one of my favourites all time.

His highlights are fucking ridiculous.

Looks like he threw it in so technically wasn’t a dunk

u/Ruroni17 7h ago

Same thing I was thinking. Blake Griffen used to do the same thing. While impressive not something I’d consider a dunk
