Welcome to the Vinsanity Scale! In honour of one of the greatest in-game dunkers in NBA history, the Vinsanity Scale rates dunks on a scale of 1-4. Similar to the Horry Scale, the dunk in question is graded on the game situation, difficulty and celebration to answer one question: Would it make Half Man, Half Amazing proud?

Game situation
The Magic were in front 101-89 with six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, before Jalen Suggs sent the Amway Center crowd into a frenzy.
Difficulty
You have to give Suggs props here, not only for the dunk but for the move leading up to it.
Bringing the ball up the floor, Suggs slices between two Bulls defenders in Ayo Dosunmu and Tyler Cook, before launching off two feet and jamming it all over DeMar DeRozan.
I mean, just look at this...
and more chune for your headtop

Reaction
Suggs was hyped and so was the Magic home crowd!
The Orlando bench almost couldn't believe it, with mouths left on the floor following Suggs' slam.

Terrence Ross — no stranger to a poster dunk himself — his face says it all.

Vinsanity Scale
Splitting the defence, jumping off two feet and posterising one of the league's best players. Suggs did his thing with this jam....I give it three Vinsanitys.
