    I believe it's #7 on your video...looks legit to me.

    MJ was the best at doing all kinds of crazy stuff in the air, not necessarily just dunking. Dominique was one of the best power dunkers ever.

    Shawn Kemp is the best celebrator of his own dunks, that is for sure. These reactions just crack me up. Dude was straight powerful as well.



    Edit: stupid embedded isnt working.

    The Shawn Kemp over Alton Lister dunks is one of my favorites. Dude loved to show off

    hb that video proves your point VC is the best dunker of all time.
  • thedynasty1998
    Kobe is the only one on the top 10 list that I don't think is deserving. I don't even consider him a "dunker". I'd put Shaq in the top 10 just due to his dominance and everything was a dunk back in his day.

    1. VC



    no one comes close

    VC's best dunks aren't as special as people say.

    Over Weis is sick, but he didn't really jump over a 7 footer--a lot of guys could do it, rarely sets up perfectly. But let's face it, he pushed off him, he was hunched over. I mean it was awesome, but overrated really.

    His dunk contest dunks aren't that special. He gets too much credit for spinning the opposite way on a 360--just because he does it doesn't mean other guys couldn't do it. He made it look smooth, but it wasn't THAT special. Not to mention, he had his back to the basket by the time he left the ground.

    Then there is his most overrated dunk of all time, his between the legs in the dunk contest off the bounce. That is the single most overrated dunk ever. He gets SOO much credit for that, yet you don't hear people talk about Jason Richardson.



    He did the VC off the bounce between the legs, except he did it backwards and bounced to himself. And THEN he goes between the legs off the backboard--it's 10 times harder to catch it off the board and put it between your legs than it is to grab the ball at the height of your jump when it's right there already.

    As far as in game dunks, VC has his fair share that keep his name at the top of the dunker list--but his dunk contest dunks are all overrated as hell.
  • SQ_Crazies
    Someone watch that video and tell me that VC is more impressive than Jason Richardson--I'll show you one of two things:

    1. A liar.
    2. A ratard.
  • SQ_Crazies
    I also think this list will be different by the end of LeBron's career--I think he's maybe the best in game dunker in the history of the league and he'll only add to that argument as we go.
  • Hb31187
    Eh, he lately started to do a few diff dunks. But 99 times out of 100 its just 1 hand cockback
  • jpake1
    My top 3 would probably be 1. VC 2. MJ 3. DrJ... Kobe and LBJ make my top 10.

    lol at you trying to discredit the greatest dunk of all time. If so many guys could do it, THEN WHY HAS IT NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE AGAIN????????????


    VC's 360 windmill>>> J Rich's whole career

    In games, it's not totally about creativity.



    Don't care if it didn't count. No one does that shit in a game...no one.

    You mean 180 right?

    JRich, between the legs off the glass is better/harder than any dunk Carter has done.
  • SQ_Crazies
    And about Weis, not discrediting it, I said it was awesome. But not as awesome as some people thing. You don't see it because the opportunity doesn't present itself in games that often and it has to set up perfectly. I saw Nate Robinson jump over Dwight Howard lolz...
