Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green has yet to throw down a dunk in an NBA game, and the closest he has been to doing so was during the team’s 121-105 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.
The Northern Iowa product took a feed from Taurean Prince during the second period, and because he was alone in the paint, Green went up and put the ball in the basket. Does this count as a dunk? It depends on who you’re asking, and you can be the judge.
If you ask Giannis Antetokounmpo, AJ Green’s finish shouldn’t be considered a dunk since he barely touched the rim.
“That was not a dunk. He’s here – that was like fingernails. No. No. Like I was (gasps) I was like ‘Aw, c’mon AJ, this is your opportunity.’ But he’s gonna get it. He’s going to play a lot of years in the league, he’s going to get his dunk,” Antetokounmpo explained via Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
