Who's better - the street ballers or the pros? Find out once and for all with the greatest compilation of jams, slams, and devastating dunks ever captured on film. Set to a fast-paced hip hop soundtrack, Dunks! features your favorite NBA All-Stars taking it to the hole. Watch Kevin Garnett soar in from the rafters, Shaq thunder through the lame, and LeBron dazzle the world with his above-the-rim technique. It's the most spectacular collection of slams ever compiled... see the reverse, the tomahawk, the windmill, the 360, and, of course, watch his Airness launch one from the foul line. Playground players may represent, but Dunks! proves what everybody knows: The hottest ballers are in the NBA-period.

Philadelphia 76ers star guard Allen Iverson is in many ways the fantasy of armchair hoopsters, and I readily cop to being one. We know that we're not as intimidating a presence as Shaquille O'Neal, or lack the lanky moves and wingspan of Kobe Bryant, or just the general gigantism of Dikembe Mutombo or Tim Duncan or Chris Webber. But at six feet and 160 pounds, Iverson is the little man's dream, the undersized player who is both fearless and successful in taking it to the big men. Unfortunately, Allen Iverson—The Answer isn't nearly as dynamic as its subject, though it works well as an extended highlight reel.

A collection of highlights from the triumphant 2007-2008 basketball season, in which Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett did their bit to take the Boston Celtics to the top of the NBA, ending their 22-year title drought with a six-game victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Standing tall as the best team at the end of the regular season, the San Antonio Spurs, led by the front court tandem of Tim Duncan and David Robinson, soared past their playoff opponents to claim their first NBA championship, leading fans everywhere to chant “Go Spurs Go!”
