Basketball: What are the best dunks ever?

[Rimbaud82]

So I am a fairly casual basketball fan but I have been watching a lot more of it recently. Especially after seeing this the other day:

Most sports I like are physical/contact sports and so in basketball my favourite thing to watch is really hard drunks, I defer to the resident experts to provide examples of the hardest, most physical dunks in basketball history.

Don't know how to post video
But the one where Jordan goes baseline, reverses direction and dunks over Ewing is one of my all time favorite.

Boom goes the dynamite.


A lot of people downplay Blake's throwdowns because "they're not really dunks" but I think they're even more impressive than conventional dunks. They have a bigger fuck you factor.

Vince Carter in the 2000 summer Olympics. Jumped over a 7 foot dude and dunked. Jumped over the guy

Jordan Kilganon's "lost and found" his "scorpion" is also amazing.

Blake Griffin on Kendrick Perkins, his dunks on Pau Gasol and Timo Mozgov are also insane.

baron davis on kirilenko

jr smith on everyone in the key at that moment.

Gerald Green, highest vertical I've ever seen on anyone who wasn't boosted into the air or pushing off of a defender.

 

[therealdope]

Carl Lewis' attempt at a dunk in one of those foot locker dunk competitions is the craziest thing I've ever seen. He tried to jump from basically the top of the key and windmill that shit with fury. I mean we are talking about a guy who long jumped over 29 feet. He once jumped over 30 and landed outside of the pit.

Not as iconic but I love this dunk

[Breakitdown]

Best in game dunker and it isn't even close. His resume is far deeper than anyone else's in game.

Also best gym pump song and it isn't even close.
