Amar’e Stoudemire Dunks On Dante Cunningham, And Then D.C. Gets STAT Back
When Amar’e Stoudemire dunked on Dante Cunningham at the end of the first half, it’s safe to say the the rookie didn’t know what hit him. But then again, payback is a mutha. In the fourth quarter, with the Blazers leading and en route to victory, D.C. got his revenge.
Who got who worse?

Now these are dunks where people have actually been dunked! Not like some of the other “dunked on” posts.

Cunningham saw Amare heading to the rack, slid over, jumped, tried to swat the ball, committed the foul, and still ended up on a poster. Amare had his back to the play and didn’t even try to contest the dunk. So you could probably say Cunning ham got dunked *on* a little worse than Amare did…but it’s only because Amare didn’t even try to play D. What the hell was Stat looking at anyway?

Mules: “Amare didn’t even try to play D” … Like every other play in every other game then?

D.C. gets props for where he started from, but STAT turned the kid into a poster.

Big Aaron: pretty much…but this is a particularly awful display. How do you not even turn to face the ball?

@bsteezy3
i don’t see how Stat’s dunk was worse. it’s because Cunninham attempted-ed contested-ed didn’t-ed block it. Stat’s dunk was better.

Stat didn’t even get dunked on, not really, he was in the vicinity of the dunk but hardly got dunked on. He was to busy checking out the Suns dancers to bother challenging
Amare hands-down posterized the rook

My bad dude, that’s what I’m saying. Stat’s dunk was nastier.

Stat got dunked on. That’s what he gets for lazy HUSTLE down the floor to get in position to play DEFENCE…which apparently are the things we knock him for regarding being a top tier player. Paying attention Miami? As much as Beasley is a wild card, reasons like these are why Amare is not worth it.
Cunningham still got it worse in the 1st Q by far. It was like watching STAT on Olowokandi v2.0 lol.

Anytime another man’s junk gets anywhere near the area that it did in Amar’e’s dunk, it’s automatic.

amare’s effort is why he will never be a starter on a championship team, the most this guy will do is reach his arms out a bit to try and “stop” a guy, give me chuck hayes or ronny turiaf over this soft piece of shit anyday. $20M per?! Fuck outta here…..

Stat had is back to DC. Not really the same. Stat dunk was more impressive.

i dont consider that cunningham sneak attack as a legitimate “dunk on” but, seriously, what was stat looking for? turn around, they’re coming.

well, the difference between the 2 dunks is pretty obvious; one guy plays D and the other doesn’t
