It still is a judgement call...heck half of the people replying said this is nothing, so that should tell you it isn't as clear as you're making it out to be.

I agree, but let's not pretend his upward motion after the dunk is due to his jump. Let's not pretend he didn't pull himself up an extra foot or two using the rim; the acceleration upwards is clear to me.

I probably wouldn't have called it in this showcase game, but it's still a spade.

Concur. I was taught that players will rise UP to throw it down, not the other way around.
