Just like effortless dunk and beauty 😅 if lavine in diving olympic i think he win every aspect of beauty dive.

Florida Mike that is not how the contest is ruled. Don’t matter if DJJ started with a 46, he had better overall dunks in the finals, just check one by one, even AG repeated a dunk from DJJ in the first tie-break.
The way he was doing these dunks so effortlessly like wow. Still exciting to watch after all these years!

A LOT of people can do under both legs like Aaron Gordon did. And it's easier to receiving the ball after the jump than bringing the ball up by yourself. There's maybe one other person (James Flight White) who did what Lavine did at the free throw line.
