    Default The Best Dunking Seven Footer of All-Time?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oImSuz8v-I

    This is the most biased post I'll write all week but even when trying to put those biases aside, I still think Robinson is an underrated dunker. I understand Shaquille O'Neal would get a lot of support for such a random title (best seven foot dunker) but I find Robinson to be more versatile in his slams than nearly any other center I've ever seen - windmills off one foot, reverses, 360's, facials, coast-to-coasts, double pumps, oops, power flushes, two hand windmills, etc.

    Aside from O'Neal and Robinson, who are some other great seven foot dunkers?

    Amar'e would be on the shortlist if he was an inch taller. But 7 foot is very arbitrary.

    In real life Amare is probably 6'9 tops. There's no way he is truly 6'11.

    In this day and age people use "seven footer" interchangeably with almost anyone who plays the position of "big." People call Dwight Howard and Dirk Nowitzki 7 footers when theyre bascally Lebrons height.

    Very few players in the league have ever been a legit 7 feet.

    You know the funny thing about Larry Nance? Sometimes in clips he looks like he's 7'2'' but he was always listed around 6'10''. I think his slender build, the short shorts, and his wingspan just always made him look taller than he was. Good pull regardless. Big fan of his cradles.

    This.


    Ive seen Blake Griffin in person. He is 6'8 at best. Not 6'10.

    Measurements are always exaggerated.

    Dirk is 6ft 11.
    Dwight is 6ft 9.
    Lebron is 6ft 7 1/4 to 6ft 8.

    He measured 6' 8.5" as a rookie. might have grown. I guess if he is looking for legit 7 footer there is not a lot of them.

    crazy that Shaq measured in at 7'1 w/o shoes,

    Wilt with Kareem had some pretty nasty dunks, just probably not flashy enough to qualify.

    Hakeem fits the bill. Legit 7ft with loads of amazing dunks.

    Garnett is a 7ft (asked to be listed as 6-11), had some great dunks.
