Who is the single best in-game dunker ever?

[Street Hunger]

Who is the best in-game dunker of all time?

With the emphasis being on in-game.

Feel free to name more than one player, especially if you mention Shaq because he's sort of in a category by himself when it comes to centers who dunked on people.

I don't know why you even thought of Shaq. Know who Vinsanity is?

[CurryOverLebron]

Shaŵn Kemp probably. Raptors Vince Carter or Frobe as well.

That's one of the things that's missing today. There's no creative dunkers anymore. No more windmills, between the legs, 360s, double pump reverses, behind the back slams, up and under reverse dunks, etc. Even the in your face poster dunks are weak compared to back in the day.

Due to different plays being run, more 3 pt heavy focus / offenses and centers being out the lanes, we will probably never see really great in game dunkers again.

Russ and Blake might be the last ones, and Blake was so-so for historical standards.


Morant is the only current one really.

Bruce Brown too, altho nobody really sees him this year because he plays limited minutes on obscure teams, and I dunno if he gets set up for dunks as easily anymore.

But when he was paired with Joker, boyyyy he was throwin down HAMMERS.


Edit: Speaking of which, Denver’s Christian Braun also throws it down somethin nasty on a pretty regular basis.

true, I mean so did Caruso back in the day every now and then..

he probably had more posters than Braun.

Good point. I guess I only singled out Shaq because of his physical advantage over everyone else. I wasn't saying he's actually the greatest in game dunker ever.

I feel like the fame had way more emotional charge to it watching old highlights. Even the announcers were better.



That's a ****ing show you never see nowadays.

Favorite in game dunk of all time was this one though.



Best poster ever imo.

Maybe... Rudy is a great rim protector but he's lucky he didn't play in that era. He would've gotten Gatling'ed by athletes like Shawn Kemp.

his problem would have been they'd have tried to put too much weight on him and he wouldn't have stayed healthy would be my guess

Amare Stoudemire.

Dude is a finishing goat.

Most of those dunks have been done in games this season...

Stop with the rose tinted glasses.

John Stockton was the goat of all goats
