I’m going with Carmelo Anthony. Why? Please allow me to present the evidence.

Exhibit 1: This series-ending block from Roy in the 2013 playoffs:

Exhibit 2: The time Roy and Melo got back together in January of 2014 and basically recreated the exact same play.

Let the record show that Roy Hibbert already has two .gif-worthy blocks on Carmelo Anthony.

If given a third attempt, can Melo avoid an embarssing 3 and out? We need to see this rematch in the “Try to Dunk on Roy Hibbert Contest” to settle this once and for all.

Ladies and gentleman of the jury, if we do choose to reopen the case of Roy H. v. Carmelo A., there must be one stipulation: Melo has to drive down the right baseline, just as he did before. He then has to challenge Roy one-on-one, just as he did before.

Now whether he goes one handed or two, that’s shooter’s choice, but everything else must remain the same.

Although Roy obviously has the upper hand, there is no way Melo would let it happen again, right?

Come on, Melo. You got this.
