Every NBA team’s most prolific dunker from the 2021-22 season
By Luke Anton
26. Miami Heat (304 total dunks) — Bam Adebayo: 119 dunks
The Spurs, Pistons, Blazers, Pacers and … Heat round out the five teams with the fewest total dunks this season. The Heat are definitely the outlier of this bottom-five group, especially considering that Bam Adebayo was 12th among players in total dunks with 119. However, there was a significant drop-off from Bam’s 119 dunks to the next Heat player — Omer Yurtseven with 39.
This was Bam’s third consecutive season leading the Heat in total dunks. However, in all five seasons of Bam’s career, his percentage of field goal attempts that are dunk attempts has dropped, from 29.4 percent in his rookie season down to 18.1 percent this season.
