20. Ivica Zubac posterizes Davis Bertans

To start off this list let’s check out a not-so-high-flying dunk from former Lakers big man, Ivica Zubac. He isn’t anywhere near being the most athletic player in the league, but this didn’t stop him from cramming it down over Davis Bertans of the San Antonio Spurs.

This slam from Zubac was one of just 19 dunk attempts from the Croatian center this season. While dunking might be a rarity for Zubac, he certainly knows how to make the most of them. This gem of a dunk was just good enough to crack our list.

19. Lonzo Ball slams home mean alley-oop pass

Next up is an actual high-flying dunk from none other than Lonzo Ball. With about six minutes left in the second quarter, Lonzo initiated the offense with a quick pass to Brandon Ingram on the wing. Then, like a burst of lightning, Zo cut down the middle of the lane and sprung into the air to throw down the alley-oop dunk.

Both of these highlight plays came early in the season for L.A. and gave the fans a reason to be excited for what else was in store.
