I feel like this deserves its own appreciation thread.

There’s some hyperbole in this thread about it being the best dunk people have ever seen but it really was a Great dunk. It reminds me of another big dunk from the last few years. Multiple Arkansas fans running their pole smokers in that tweet. We better beat their *** this year.

Pardon the pun but we need Mor-mon! The pop from the crowd sounded crazy on that one. Then the stare down like that guy was crazy for even trying changed my whole view on CC. If he can get that same confidence against a little better competition maaan get the daffy gif ready

All great but I don't think I will ever see a better dunk than the Minnifield Masterpiece ... another world amazing.
Spectacular Dirk Minniefield Dunk

Agree. I think Chandler's dunk is the second best in UK history, at least captured on tv.

I say captured on TV because mkg had an absolutely filthy dunk vs a small team that came off a steal, but the tv camera didn't pan to the action in time and basically missed it. It would be in contention with this Chandler dunk but no one at home got to see it.

I was at that game. Thought the arena would implode. Never heard anything that loud before.

it’s like I always say I’ve been in Rupp and came out with ears ringing. Rupp is not only intimidating because of size, it’s also very loud. Too many think because we don’t have 2000 foreign exchange students with 4.2 computer engineering GPA’s politely yelling that it’s not loud. Rupp is very loud. Half the time it’s just an NBA crowd yes but when it’s loud it’s the loudest basketball arena I’ve ever seen. I’ve been to Phog and Cameron, Dean Dome, and many of the SEC. Also been to a slew of smaller gyms. I was surprised at Cameron to see it was not full. Duke doesn’t sell out at all sometimes and it happens in the back corners but the cameras didn’t show it. That’s how weak Dukes real fanbase is, can’t even always fill their little gym. I believe it was around that time that coach K called out the Duke fans and students for not filling it too. The two loudest arenas I’ve ever been in were Phog and Rupp. I’d say the loudest I’ve ever heard an arena get was Rupp in the mid 2,000’s.

Was at the game and it was insane! Crowd went nuts!
We were there too and it was more amazing in person and you are right, it really got the crowd roaring. Chandler is growing into one of my favorite players this year. His intensity on both ends of the court needs to spread to the rest of the team. Solid player.
