Basketball: What are the best dunks ever?

Vince's dunk over that 7'2" Frenchman takes the cake

Although Dr J's dunks were really special as well

This dunk from last year was crazy
Not a posterizer, but still insane
Derrick Jones Jr.

Fox was the only guy who put up an impressive enough dunk in a fast break I thought it should be listed. JaMychal Green put down a big dunk, but it was a blatant charge, so not including it. I probably should disqualify Bam Adebayo's rebounding foul for the same reason, but the height he achieved in that attacking putback was too impressive. Same for Blake. Townes gets away with quite a few charges. Unwritten NBA rules. #sigh

Would be easy to overlook Durant's extraordinary dunk there if not for the second angle. He put that down from a mile away.

Miles Bridges & Donovan Mitchell are the most impressive throughout the reel. Jones Jr. does an incredible dunk in traffic, but it's the same one every time, and they're all just a variation of that oop which takes the crown.

It's hilarious how many mediocre dunks by Lebron (and other superstars) they include.
