Sometimes a failed dunk attempt can be every bit as entertaining or undeniably breathtaking as a successful flush. Take for instance, Shannon Brown of the Lakers, who nearly jumped over the Suns Jason Richardson in the ‘10 NBA Western Finals or the Wizards’ Javale McGee’s failed attempt at duplicating MJ’s free throw line dunk.
If you need even more evidence that failed dunk attempts are funny or entertaining, check out a video compilation of the Top 70 missed dunks in NBA Dunk Contest history or this poor girl who tried to use a teammate as a stepstool to pull off her first dunk in HS competition but unfortunately slipped and did a face-plant, as both rank way up there the worst dunk fail videos in history.
As a warning, don’t watch if your a bit squeemish, as the dunker pulls down the backboard directly onto his head and appears to nearly decapitate himself. In the end, it seems that he amazingly only suffers a bruised ego as he gets up and walks away under his own power after the embarrassing mishap. That was a close one.
