Just look at where MJ lands! Out of bounds and still moving forward, which means he jumped farther. Ibaka lands underneath the basket and almost loses his balance. Yeah, he might have taken off an inch or two behind where Jordan did, but MJ's dunk was way smoother, and he's about a half foot shorter! Haha

@xxthexxmojoxx Jordan did a legal dribble into that dunk too. Ibaka ran with the ball to get enough speed.

both of the dunks can be argued over but there are things that each person that made the dunk hard but of course people are saying jordans was harder than serges because hes shorter but remember the fact that serge is probably heavier in muscle and because hes just a bigger man.but both guys put alot of effort into being able to dunk from that far away thats why its a freethrow line dunk!!

Sorry, Jordan's dunk was better and he did that dunk more than once. I don't recall ibaka doing that dunk again....probably afraid of hurting himself LOL!

@CAMBD34 HATER ALERT,....because what you're saying makes no sense at all

[MRBourneObjective]

The one element everyone forgets about Jordan's free throw dunk that makes it the best is he's dribbling. That makes it that more difficult

@xxthexxmojoxx Jordan could have dunked from the 3 point line ;-)

[midoshy1992]

Jordan got credit, but Serge got robbed.

@CAMBD34 No he didn't. watch?v=t4yxAsAbil4

[CAMBD34]

@MrR9999 Jordan ran with the ball all the way down the court.

Jumping higher doesn't make Jordan's dunk any better. Getting a body as big as Serge's 30" off the ground is just as impressive as getting a body as relatively small as Jordan's 40" off the ground.
