Who is the best dunker of all time?

[margodydek]

Vince and it's not even close. If he would have come out 10 years after he did and been on a decent team, he would have crashed twitter on numerous occasions.

Carter, and why isn't this in General NBA

Dr J. Sorry, no one swoops in like that from long distance anymore. Spectacular.

This. The guy had a flair and smoothness that just cannot be equaled.

Dominique Wilkins

I love all the Mr. Do-gooders who are frothing at the mouth because this is not under the General NBA........

It's Carter or Dominique or Kemp or Dr.J or Kobe. Maybe Larry Johnson. Or JR Rider. It could be Michael. It might be David Thompson. I don't know. I'll go with Lebron.

No chance. Evans simply doesn't have the coordination or strength the top dunkers in the game have had.

Key word in my post I should've capitalized; IF.... Whether Jeremy ever develops the necessary skills, only time will tell.

Dr. J soared in from above like an eagle approaching it's prey, talons extended. His hang time and full extension were jaw-dropping.

I AM old enough, and no.
DR J was awesome and compared to his peers at the time, UNREAL. Put him in there today and his hang time and style would make for good highlights like the others.
I understand the need to go with the "back in the day...." but come on. I know the "purists" will lament how DR J would still be the show stopper now, but he wouldnt. He would be very good, obviously, but please. Compared to Vince and Griffin, no. DR J WAS a far better over all player than either of them however..

This guy is not the best but he is fun to watch. I have a lot more respect for a dunker who is 5'10" instead of 6'9" or whatever evans is.

Anyone who says Dr J. or anyone from the 70's or even 80's is crazy. He was ahead of his time but he never did anything remotely close to what is happening today. Vince Carter is the best in game dunker ever in my opinion. As far as dunk contest stuff goes the AND 1 guys pull off some pretty ridiculous stuff that Ive never seen in NBA contests.

I vote for Connie Hawkins....who was doing some classic dunks....when your head was the size of a grape!
