New Feature Channel: No Easy Buckets

It’s not basketball season yet, but this new feature “No Easy Buckets” should be packed with enough excitement to last you until the season kicks off again, or at least get you through the rest of this hump day.

The best moment in basketball is when a player explodes into the lane giving the defender  a split second to make a simple decision: Get up or get out of the way. The most elite defenders in basketball can rise to the occasion, get a hand on the ball and emphatically reject the shot. Less lucky defenders will find themselves in the bottom corner of an NBA poster, ducking for cover while they get dunked on.

This playlist is a compilation of the best and worst dunks and blocks  inspired by this old Mountain Dew commercial.

Some ballers are so notorious for throwing down on opponents that it was impossible to single out their best dunks, and we used top 10 videos instead (Jordan, Kemp, Wilkins). As you will see in the playlist, the defense is not always the biggest impediment to getting the ball through the cylinder: in one video the rim is torn down with a dunk and in another gravity just seems to get in the way of the player. Hopefully, you enjoy 36 of the most incredible moments in basketball history.

We have a lot of sports fans here at Cooliris and we look forward to rolling out much more  content for all you sports fans out there in our featured channels!

PS Congrats to Scottie Pippen who was recently inducted to the Basketball Hall of Fame, probably all because of this dunk.
