Vince Carter's dunk over Frédéric Weis (7'2") is the most impressive dunk I've ever seen:

Not many dunks involve a mid air T-Bag. This one did.

 

[crimzonflame]

Someone in this thread confused Spud with Muggsy =/

 

[beef3483]

Traveling disqualifies this one.

 

[soul creator]

Muggsy!

[Slayer-33]

Leave Patrick Ewing alone god dammit.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

hahahaha

LOL, dammit. Total brain fart. I was trying to find a clip of Muggsy dunking as I think he did once or twice in his career, but opted for Spud when I couldn't find anything.

Fixed!

 

[AuthenticM]

This is the first time I see it.

Amazing.

 

[iAmMaximus]

Yup. One of the few sports memorabilia in my room.

 

[badb0y]

Since I am a younger dude and didn't watch Michael Jordan much growing up my favorite dunk is by Kobe Bryant where he posterized Dwight Howard. Literally, deez nuts on your face moment right there.

The best part is when he almost punched Kevin Garnett in the face

 

[masud]

All those other dunks are better than Jordans. Fuck Jordan.

*angry Knicks fan*

 

[deejay8595]

At least we got this out of it

YO! This is the funniest thing I've seen all month! lololol!

My dude. Was hoping to make this my avatar. Kobe top 10 dunker as well.

Everyone knows that Jordan's dunks were 95% from the shoes.

Everything about the man is suspect.

I mean he couldn't shoot 3s so the NBA shortened it to what high school kids so MJ could actually make one in a game.

I will credit him with one thing. Bringing back the leather suit. Previously it was only acceptable for pimps and rock stars from the 70s to wear such clothing. Thanks to MJ now any angry drunk can step out with a leather suit and leave a $5 dollar tip on a $200 bill.

 

[LosDaddie]

I remember The Dunk poster being part of a Wheaties promotion. Good times.

Yup. One of the few sports memorabilia in my room.

My man

 

[bobawesome]

It's like he's flying through the sky. Oh so high. Go, pretty bird.

 

[nilbog21]

whats so special about the scotty pippen dunk ?

 

[Zantetsuken]

At least we got this out of it

This is for my homies!

my boy bionic right on schedule

 

[Camp Lo]

He made up for it with his elite defensive work

That is never NOT funny.

Spoiler

Fuck the Knicks

 

[Fatalah]

No one's as smooth as Clyde the Glide.

Or as vicious as Shawn Kemp!

This now officially a Michael Jordan thread.

 

[Couleurs]

Dammit, this thread is making me miss the hell out of 90s NBA

 

[jakefromstatefarm]

Kenny George reference!

free daps for everyone

 

[inm8num2]

I swear Jordan defied physics. When he reached the peak height of his jump he just floated for awhile before falling back down.

 

[Dali]

Vince Carter jumped clear over a 7' Russian dude. That is the end of argument in game dunk winner. Period.

Edit :
Apparently I'm not the only person that remembers that.

It don't count if you dunk on a ... a European

 

[RS4-]

Reminds me of Tyler Hansbrough's(6' 9") Dunk on Kenny George (7'7" )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htwkRYa0gOk

Damn, I just looked up Kenny George, dude got his leg amputated back in 08.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V7z1UY1WbE

And there's always something about the Darryl Dawkins dunk at #2 (4:15)

 

[bomb]

This thread needs more Tom Chambers

[Net_Wrecker]

The footwork on this one always mesmerizes me. The way he slides his right foot into position to turn the corner is amaaaazing. Might be a travel but whatevs, it's so slick

 

[HokieJoe]

This is how it's done:

 

[HokieJoe]

No thread about a famous dunk can go without a few from the original, Dr. J:

Yes, I'm a Sixers fan.

 

[fakie]

Best dunk contest dunk, but best in game dunk is:

So disrespectful hahaha

 

[Pathos]

Pippen's dunk on Ewing is my favourite. Second would be Dr. J's cradle dunk on the lakers.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

All these dunks are cute, but how many players can say they've done this?

I know it's not a dunk, but if we're talking footwork, nothing beats this:

That's against the league MVP in the semi-finals.

Lmao, it looked like he kinda slipped, to me.

 

[EmptySpace]

dunks are always to the offensive's advantage anyway.

dunker is coming in with momentum and speed so force is always bigger, defender is only moving vertically so kinetic motion is less powerful.

I give you Melo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE2_OKHToMA

Check out his 3pt shot at half.

 

[Instro]

I've always been partial to Jordan flying in to dunk off the missed free throw.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Jordan's best highlight reel plays were never dunks, anyway.

He could release the ball five different ways once he got up in the air, and he was in the air longer than anyone else. And he could absorb contact. And he'd make the shot anyway.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Stat on tolliver was great.

 

[Soleil rouge]

Best Jordan dunk

This was the final play of the game. He made the steal and capped off a great performance with an exclamation mark. Awesome game. Len Bias vs MJ.





This is my favorite Jordan slam:

Only him and Dana Barros.

 

[Regret Truth]

KJ became my favorite player when I saw this live...

Kevin Johnson over The Dream

Unless Laimbeer and Mahorn were knocking him around. ;-)

is this real?
