I submit one of Jeff Adler's dunks as 'Best Dunk' of the year (if I can get film I will). He had what I call an 'Oopsie' which is when you throw down a dunk from the baseline area (or side area of the rim) with one hand so forcefully that the net flops up into the rim like a fish on a line. It's a nice dunk because it rocks the rim and the net just dances. Anyway, I submit my criteria for determining best dunk:
1. It's a throw down with force (either one or two-handed)
2. The rim shakes
3. The net oopsies
4. You get the 'eye of the tiger' staredown on an opponent
5. Opponent tries to draw a charge but gets called for a blocking foul (bonus points if you jump over the defender and don't touch the defender)
6. You get to step over the opponent while they are on the ground
7. Other team calls a TO because of the moral devastation and confusion caused by the dunk
8. After the TO, you make the FT because of the blocking foul
Now that's a dunk.
