Better in-game dunker, Kobe or Lebron?

[STATUTORY]

In game only, I have to give it to Kobe based on the creativity and versatility of his IN GAME dunks.

Frobe was an artiste when it came to forcibly driving it into the hole. Lebron's dunks seem to be limited to the open court fast break tomahawk variety.

What do y'all think?

Young Kobe is superior to LeBron when it comes to flashy dunks, but LeBron has always been more explosive.

Lebron. Anyone who cares about "creativity" or aesthetic beauty in an IN GAME SITUATION is a ****ing idiot. What matters is getting the ball into the hoop and Lebron is easily better at doing that as far as dunking goes.

Godbe by far. Even current Godbe is a better dunker than LeBald is and ever was.

[Dr Hawk]

Kobe by far

By your logic, Shaq is the greatest in-game dunker this side of Wilt.

When people talk about dunking, it's mainly referred to aesthetics.

Hmm... Considering LeBron is a SF with GOAT like athleticism, he has a pretty good argument aesthetically also... Cuts through the air like a knife.

LeBron has vicious in-game dunks, and I have no issue with anyone taking him over the other two.

I just take exception to his reasoning is all.

I got to give it to Kobe on this one.

Kobe's dunks just had more flare and style.

LeBron's dunks are like watching a monster truck run over a row of cars.

Kobe's dunks are like watching Evil Knievel jump over a row of cars.

Both get the job done, however Kobe does it with more elegance.

Oh and rest in peace to my man Evil Knievel. I still remember when he tried to jump over the Grand Canyon.

Aesthetics has nothing to do with a competitive situation in game. That's what this thread is about, so why would I pick the guy who maybe is prettier, but can't get the ball in the hoop as much? I'm from the Larry Brown school of basketball: I don't care about aesthetics...I care about the game being played the right way and the basketball going into the hoop.

Sure everyone likes to see something flashy and fun, but in the end, that is what matters more. Lebron is just better and more efficient when dunking. I don't like either player, so I'm not biased either way.

By everyone's responses, he should have just asked: who is the prettier dunker in game?

Not true. Vince Carter - Shaq. Is Shaq the better dunker?

Generally I would agree with you, but this is about DUNKING.......

So Aesthetics, Creativity, Style, etc all play a role.

Like the others said, who's the better dunker then, Carter or Shaq?
