The Greatest Nba Dunker Of All Time by jalether(m): 8:50pm On Oct 06, 2009
Whenever the word dunking is mentioned names like Dominque Wilkins, Michael Jordan,Julius Erving "Dr. J"
Jason Richardson, Kobe Bryant,Lebron James all comes to mind but as for me, I think Vince Carter deserves the crown

hard to argue with the former Air Canada,but as an old-school guy,I'd take dominique Wilkins.he was really the inovator in the slam-dunk field.

Dominique was great for sure but he just didn't have the speed and athleticism of Vince, just watch the Y2K slam dunk contest

he continues to produce innovative and mouth watering dunks game after game, whoelse could match that and to top it up even Kobe

voted him as the best dunker ever and same goes for many commentators

Dont be a hater! Kobe in his early days in the NBA was a bad ass dunker! Age has slowed him down plus he is more of a team player now even then he still gives us some wicked windmill dunks from time to time

Dr J was great but M.J!! mehn who spends 8secs in the air? They didnt call him his royal Airness for nothing
Vince was a monster sha i mean how do you dunk and stick your elbow in a rim

Other notable cats
Jason Richardson
Josh Smith
Lebron James
Krypto-Nate
James White(if he can get his ass outta the D-League)

I'm talking about current dunkers. Kobe was good in his early days but not as spectacular as vincesanity or even T-mac (he was a beast in his early years).

@bawo

whoever said d post was about current dunkers. . . .

i'm also sure you must have missed some kobe highlights
Re: The Greatest Nba Dunker Of All Time by bawomolo(m): 1:09am On Oct 08, 2009
see this kobe stans trying to hound me.

kobe is not up to vince or t-macs level when it comes to dunking.

t-macs dunk during the all-star game is one of the best ever.
Re: The Greatest Nba Dunker Of All Time by mamagee6(f): 1:09am On Oct 08, 2009
Dwight Howard's a good dunker but not a good scorer. undecided

If you read my first post carefully, I voted vince as the best dunker ever, so what are you talking abt undecided

and as for T mac, he wouldn't get into anyone else's top 5,  Irvin, Jordan, Vince, Kobe and dominique all shits on

him and talking abt slam dunk contest, go and watch the 2000 slam dunk contest and get bk to me.

Greatest Dunker?
What are the parameters?

Vert? Finesse? Power? Creativity? Degree of difficulty? What?
It's hard to break down into one category.

Vince Carter
Michael Jordan
Dominique Wilkins
Shawn Kemp
Spud Webb
Dr. J
Even little Nate Robinson
and so forth

t-mac is a better in game dunker than kobe IMO.

my man even mentioned shawn kemp. that guy was a master power dunker

Please i don't agree with that statement.
Watch the NBA in the 80's.dominique was one of the fastest players on any court.Only Clyde Drexler was faster.
He was the innovator of the windmill dunk that Vince took to another level at the slam dunk of 2000.
I agree;Vice probably forced the SlamDunk contest to have a rethink because he exhausted all options in dunking.
But dominique,Michael and even Shawn Kemp were steady dunkers come game-time.
