3. Donovan Mitchell flying over Kevin Hart and company

From the moment that Donovan Mitchell was victorious in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, there was a ton of debate about whether he was the rightful winner. However, there shouldn’t be any doubt that he’s a great dunker. The slam above might be the best example of his skill at the craft. Sure jumping over a hunched over Kevin Hart and children might not be impressive, but the way Mitchell slammed this was spectacular.

After exploding off the court and catching the pass off the side of the backboard, he throws down an absolutely thunderous slam. That aggression and sheer violence was the kind of thing that made NBA fans across the globe hop out of their seats in pure amazement.
