tmac, kobe, and today dunkers can't touch vc.

lebron is a good game dunker.

Lebron's not that great of a dunker. He can get the air time but he's not creative in his finishes. He's more of a power dunker like the centres in the NBA.

I guess he's not bad for that size of his. Wow, he's built like a power forward! I wasn't too impressed by his highschool dunk competition either, but do appreciate it based on the load he has to carry around.

I think Scotty Pippen is a good dunker. One of my fave dunks was the one he had on Patrick Ewing.

That 720 dunk was NASTY!!! He's got MAJOR hops for a 6' "2.

I've always thought that Dr. J did the dunk more artfully than any other basketball player.

dr j did a 720?

dr j did a 720?

I don't think so, but his windmill dunk over the Lakers' Michael Cooper (one of the best defenders of the time) back in 1981 was the stuff of legend.

Another one of my personal fave, John starks dunking over two Bulls during a playoff game.

jordan's top 10 dunks werent that great to be honest.

As far as free throw dunks are concern, would it be appropriate to give the best free throw dunk to Brent Barry, after all, white guys can't dunk right?

Well, I won't argue with you that Jordan is the best in dunking because he isn't. I just wanted to mention him coz he's my fav player of all time.

I agree, Jordan is not the best dunker. IMO he has grace and elegance when he dunks. He makes it look good when he take flight. I think the best overall dunker has to be Vinsanity. I think that's his nick when he was with the Raptors...Correct me if I'm wrong.

Not sure if Vince is the best dunker all time, I must say though, his 2000 (was it?) slam dunk contest routine was the best of all time, so versatile each dunk. It beats anything Jordan, Dominique, or anyone else could have offered.

Anyone know how was Jason Richardson's year go? The one year where he repeated, with the under the leg from the other side left handed jam. How were the rest of his dunks that year? Or was just the final dunk incredible and the rest just average?

Yeah, it was in 2000 when Vinsanity won it all.. I was really impress, I didn't watch the J Rich dunk in 2004, so I'm not familiar with his dunking ability. Here are some highlights of Vinsanity's 2000 Dunk Contest.

This is the most amazing dunk IMO that Vince has done

i'd vote for vince carter too.

Who do you think is the best slam-dunker in the NBA? I think Nate Robinson (New York Knicks) is actually quite good. I watched the 2006 and 2007 Slam Dunk Contests and he did great in both of them. He won first place in 2006 and 2nd in 2007. What do you think?

I think people votes are biased to the shorter guys in the dunk contests.
