Best All Time Dunker/Dunks?

[lurkeraspect84]

I grew up watching 80's NBA and obviously I'm partial to Jordan, Wilkins, Kemp, Walker to name a few. Obviously Vince Carter is way up there.

James White from Florida/Cincy did some absolutely mind blowing dunks.

There is one name that comes to mind and its Vince Carter.



IMO the best dunk of all time.

IMO the best dunk of all time.

I watched that live and literally jumped out of my chair.

For me, the ultimate in athleticism and ferocity of dunks was Dominique Wilkins aka The Human Highlight Reel.

That funny you say that. I was watching "a highlight reel/video" of his and it inspired me to create this thread. He was just mean and filthy.

Ant man will be on this list when it is all said and done.

Vince Carter IMO was a better dunker than MJ. Carter had some memorable dunks at UNC and in the NBA, more so than Jordan.

DR J or Wilkins

Honorable mention;

So many good ones...I'd probably say Vince Carter. That one against France is the all-time best dunk, IMO. But, he had lots of ridiculous dunks while playing for UNC and Toronto.

The classic ones are Dr.J, Wilkins, and Jordan.

There's been plenty of good ones in recent memory. LeBron, Giannis, Jason Richardson, Zach LaVine, Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Aaron Gordon, Larry Nance Jr, Gerald Green, James White, Nate Robinson, Zion. This kid on Baylor, Kendall Brown, is consistently getting his head above the rim. He's just not overly creative with his dunks, but he has potential to be an all-time great dunker.

Some of the professional dunkers are incredibly impressive. Many remember Jordan Kilganon from the All-Star game a few years back.



I don't know how this dunk is even possible.



Kadour Ziani, who stands at about 5'10, allegedly had a 56 inch vertical jump.

Vince then 'Nique for me. Dominique is probably my all time favorite player though.

This goes back a long time; however, the most vicious dunker off all time was UK's James Lee. He wanted to kill the rim.

Off the basketball court he was a saint.

I always loved this dunk by Minniefield. He just seemed to keep going up.

Trez loved to try to rip the rim off.

twill was a nice dunker too.

[mannjay]

Most memorable for me is when Shaq shattered the glass...

 

[Villian07]

Send it in jerome is a classic glass shatter as well

Yesterday I was showing a younger guy (20) that I work with some old Shawn Kemp highlights. Blew him away.

That's just nuts. That scorpion dunk....man.

I think we are talking about two different dunks---all are stupid. But the first dunk of the video---which was rated the 5th best, is just stupid, nuts.

Yeah, I'm talking about the 2nd (4th place), but all are crazy.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Sheehey vs Iowa... 🤣 🤣

Bro, watch the first dunk of the video(rated #5). Watch it closely. Dude literally stops a windmill in motion---then restarts....Fukin crazy.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Wilkins, Dr J, etc, etc....were nasty. BUT, MJ, fella's. I mean these people got families folks..

 

[IUfanBorden]

IMO one of the greatest displays of dunking, athletic ability, was the 1983 Final Four game featuring Louisville vs Houston...

JFC...
