Gary Neal Can’t Stop J.R. Smith From Flying Through the Air in 2010 (Video)

Editor's note: The 2011-12 NBA season was supposed to tip off Nov. 1. With no games to watch, NESN.com will help fill the void by posting a dunk video every day until the lockout ends.

Denver Nuggets forward J.R. Smith has competed in two NBA Dunk Contests. He didn't win in 2005 or 2009, but Smith routinely shows why he's one of the best dunkers in the game today.

In a Dec. 16, 2010 game against the San Antonio Spurs, Smith crossed over Ime Udoka, drove through the lane and jumped about 10 feet from the basket. Gary Neal steps in Smith's way and tries to draw a charge, but his feet weren't set, and Smith uses two hands to throw it down.

Check out Smith flying through the air in the video below.
