One of the Greatest Missed Dunks You’ll Ever See

Shannon Brown of the Los Angeles Lakers has incredible, jump-out-of-the-building hops even if he chose not to show them off at the 2010 NBA dunk contest. Apparently he prefers to save the good stuff for the games. When it’s live action, even Brown’s misses are electrifying. Like his dunk attempt against the Phoenix Suns in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. A couple of more inches and Jason Richardson is the victim of one of the worst facials of all-time.

Brown’s dunk attempt is reminiscent of another dunk involving the Phoenix Suns, but this one had a positive outcome. Of course I’m talking about the time Tom Chambers posterized Mark Jackson.
