Customer Reviews of NBA Street Series - Dunks!
Best dunks huh... then where's KOBE BRYANT!? First, let me say that this is a great dunk DVD. This DVD includes most of the great dunks from the likes of Julius Erving, Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan, all the way to Shaquille O'Neal and Vince Carter, as well as a few Lebron James thrown in there just for good measure.
Being a big fan of VC, I was incredibly surprised to see that this DVD included almost all of Carter's best highlights, including his baseline double-clutch dunk against the Pacers, his alley-oop windmill against the Sixers, the one-handed jam over Tim Duncan, and both his 360 windmill and his between the legs jam from the 2000 NBA All-Star Dunk contest. Too bad, it didn't include his buzzer-beating dunk against the Rockets, and most importantly, the DVD failed to include his most spectacluar dunk, heard all-around the world - the facial he gave a 7'2 center named Frederic Weis in the Olympic games. I can understand the exclusion of this highlight, since it happened in the Olympic games and probably not NBA copyrighted, yet I don't understand why they include player's post Olympics game comments. Hmmm...? Nonetheless, VC fans will still rejoice over this DVD.
So why did I only give it 2 stars? Well, 2 things:
First - Where is Kobe Bryant!? No highlight of Kobe was ever shown. He was only mentioned once throughout the entire show when Carter spun around baseline for a 360 dunk in the All-Star game. That was it. They highlighted a lot of boring Michael Cooper dunks though. Kobe Bryant, just last season alone, have 3 of the biggest NBA dunks in the game:
1. The 52 point Dunk over Yao Ming.
2. The Madison Square Garden "Did you see that? What a play!" baseline rim-rocker.
3. The Horry full-court pass, behind the back switch to a 360 Dunk against the Nuggets. The play that won the "NBA 2003 Play of the Year" and was also nominated for "Sports Play of the Year" at the 2003 ESPY awards.
This DVD is supposed to highlight the best dunks of the NBA, yet they couldn't even include the "NBA 2003 Dunk of the Year!" The obvious reason the NBA did this was because of KOBE's pending legal problmes. I guess the NBA just wanted to take the safe road. But this is supposed to be the NBA's Best Dunks! I understand if they wanna opt out someone like a Darvin Ham or a Doug Christie, but not a Big Name Superstar like a Kobe Bryant. It's just like putting out a "Greatest Entertainers" DVD and putting in Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and Madonna, yet opting to exclude Michael Jackson since he too has some legal problems! I'm hoping that when the whole KOBE issue clears up, that they'll include his highlights on Volume 2.
Second - During segments when they were highlighting dunks of the 60's, 70's and 80's, most of the material they used were recycled materials from the 1998 NBA's 50 Greatest Players TV Special (to only mention one). In other words, they actually took bits and pieces of that 1998 show, plus some others, and just filled in the holes... about 10 minutes of it. On a side note, I also noticed that they edited, copy and pasted, a lot of plays. Usually they will show a great dunk and then switch to some the crowd reactions. There was one highlight of a 1996 Shaquille O'Neal alley-oop dunk where they edited-in crowd reaction from a 1997 Kobe Bryant dunk against Ben Wallace during a preseason game in Vegas. Nothing big, just thought it was funny that this DVD did not include any Kobe Bryant play, but used crowd reaction clips they got from his highlights.
Overall, this is a good dunking DVD that couldv'e easily been been better. I had a lot more thrills watching Michael Jordan's Ultimate 23 DVD special. This DVD just didn't have the BESTS of the BEST, just MOST of the BEST. Where is Isiah Rider's East Bay Funk Dunk (the first between the legs dunk)? Where was Shaq's 1994 dunk in which he broke the backboard? Was up with that!? I can only hope they're saving those up for Volume 2.
Not good but not too bad
Program too short with not enough action we want... Where is Kobe? Where is LeBron James? Oh yes, i didn't expect Kobe because i can't see him on the cover, but LeBron?? He shared 1/4 of photos on the cover but where is he inside?? well, 2 shots! I found the DVD had featured more Ricky Davis than LeBron, but you'll know LeBron is a good passer too! Disappointed...
why did i buy this
i can't believe i bought this. the only reaseon i bought this is because i though kobe was going to be on it. kobe is by far the most exciting dunker in the nba. p.s. kobe's innocent
