Post NBA players and their individual best dunk of their career.

[tgan3]

I think in-game dunks are interesting in a way because there's no one that is too similar to another which is a problem in dunk contests. Reason being is the varying factors such as opposite team players' defence, the game score, crowd atmosphere, the play leading to the dunk etc.

I'll start a few, the players do not need be known for being dunkers. They also can be retired players, current vets or rookies. This thread is to keep a record of the "best highlight dunk" of each individual player. If you do not agree a particular dunk is a players best, you can repost another which you think is better.

This is a great idea for a thread.

1) I've always wondered where the terrific quality version of that Iverson clip came from. And how many other great quality clips from that era are out there. They all seem to be like the Marbury clip. Speaking of which. . .

2) Is there any TV footage of the Marbury dunk out there? I only ever see the NBA TV replay shots.

3) If we had to go with an NBA Vince Carter dunk, what would you guys go with?

Yeah, I'm actually a little tentative to provide a link for players like Vince Carter, LeBron James, or Kobe Bryant. Whatever I throw up, I feel like someone else will say, "Um, no way, it's this." For instance, I'm not sure I believe Vince's best is his slam over Alonzo.

Jesus... which one to pick for Kobe? Reverse baseline over Sprewell? Reverse baseline over entire T-Wolves team? Pre-season over Ben Wallace? Over Yao Ming (that's probably the most iconic one)? Leaping over a young Dwight Howard?

God, I need to go back and watch them all again to decide.

Shawn Kemp on Listor.

Pippen on Ewing

Was Jordan and Pippen even in the picture on that dunk? I thought it was over Cartwright or Horace Grant.

[Rake2204]

Was Jordan and Pippen even in the picture on that dunk? I thought it was over Cartwright or Horace Grant.
Jordan was on the scene, and jumped, but I wouldn't necessarily call it "on" him. When I dunk, if someone jumps to block but doesn't come in contact with me, I call it like, a Stage 3 Dunk On (the lowest of the three stages of dunk ons). Meanwhile, I don't even think Scottie Pippen was in the ball game.

Here's the Starks dunk for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCTfxOrX4k8

Naw. That's nothing compared to LeBron's dunk on Duncan.

I always felt LeBron's dunk on KG here was overrated. KG didn't even contest it at all. It's not like Bron dunked ON KG. It almost seemed like KG was going to foul him, but Bron got there too fast lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPmJM5-HSi0&feature=related

LeBron rose over Duncan and his force threw Duncan backwards lol.


But then again, I'm a KG fan. :lol

I have a shitload of papers to write, and then you a**holes make this thread.
Now how am I gonna study?

Oh, I almost forgot: Rudy Gay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OcSgAn0DaU&list=PLD4176040DBB8FB78&index=31&feature=plpp_video)
he hasn't eclipsed that dunk has he? I love the whole sequence. It's not the most ferocious dunk or the highest flying, but Gay's movement is beautiful to watch. (weird sort-of-pun not intended)

also, it kills me that Lebron's power dunk didn't count, but at the same time, what is more Beast than ferociously dunking on someone's head? I mean jesus..

honestly to me these backboard breaking dunks are a bit overated so that's why I chose that. Ham actually has some really nasty poster dunks on Mutombo, but i couldn't find none of them on youtube :(
