(Never mind the fact that this video was uploaded to YouTube by someone named GoDuke777, obviously someone after my own heart)

I was at this game sitting in about the 20th row behind the basket. I remember seeing Deron turn the corner and immediately standing up as he drove towards the hoop. It was such a glimpse into what I thought would be the next golden era of Jazz history. Too bad I was about years early.

about how he breaks down the court and processes information on who to pass too. Stockton’s IQ and vision of the court is just incredible.

I’d have to say that Price over Boozer. Mostly because Ronnie was a kid from my college and then i got to watch him do that to Boozer. Just a good feeling all around.

Also Vince Carters dunk in the Olympics over Weis. Just disgusting.

Jordan over Ewing
Pippen over Ewing
VC over the Eiffel Tower (Freddie Weis)
Karl over Cap (thanks for the vid, I’d heard legends of that dunk)
RP over Booze

Doesn’t hold a candle to the Vince Carter dunk.

John Starks over the Bulls.

Man, those Bulls-Knicks playoffs from early-mid 90’s were epic.

it should be mentioned that Baron Davis dunked over Kirilenko in that playoff game.

…then somebody out there needs to coin a new term for such an awesome display of basketball-related athleticism. I’m sorry, but to say that was simply “finishing a layup with contact” is selling it quite a bit short, IMO. Do most guys finish layups with their head near rim-level, throwing the ball viciously through the hoop in a downward motion (because they’re up SO high), all with 260 lbs. of snarling Perk draped all over them like a cheap suit? Methinks not. I just don’t get all of the “that’s not a dunk”-smack, simply because he didn’t grab and pop the rim on his followthrough. Things like Griffin pulled off last night (as well as the Mozgov dunk and D-12’s “Superman” ahem, dunk from a couple years back in the dunk contest) are even more impressive that your standard, run-of-the-mill dunk featuring plenty of contact with the rim, simply because of the sheer altitude involved.

and has long time been one of my idols.

Any Dunk/Layup done by Dr.J.

Please make sure there aren’t any children in the room when loading this clip. What you are about to see is now illegal in 14 states.

I remember Buck Williams dunking on someone real nasty when he was at Portland. He came from the right wing, elevated, got hit and just reached out almost horizontally to throw it down.

Six or seven put in his “official” top 10 are kind of lame—not even close to his best. But check out numbers 10, 3, and 1. Holy crap.

What I loved about him is how he always stuck his leg out and his momentum always almost knocked himself down.

The Reign Man has done anything and everything imaginable when it comes to dunking.
