Best Dunkers
We're talking dunks. Not slam dunk contest either. These are who I think are the best in-game dunkers ever.
1. Vince Carter
At his pinnacle, there was NO ONE more athletic. Watch the video, it will knock your socks off. And if you want to include the dunk contest, no one performance is better than Vince's 2000 performance
2. Dominique Wilkins
The man who is most synonymous with dunks. The man who is most synonymous with basketball in general. I'm sure a lot of people will think he should be number one, but I will argue that. That being said, the coolest thing about Jordan's dunks was how he seemingly floated through the air. (Cue up I believe I can fly)
4. LeBron James
This dude could very well be number one when it's all said and done. Go ahead and put him in the dunk contest already. I mean, why the hell not? He can do it all.
5. Kobe Bryant
Most people think he's a poor-man's Jordan, or even in this case a poor-man's Vince Carter. Either way he's still better than most, even at dunking.
6. Shawn Kemp
The "Reign Man" was a childhood favorite of mine. All because of his ass-kicking monster jams!
7. Julius Erving
The original dunk master. Only appropriate he is on here.
8. Darryl Dawkins
Two words: Backboard Breaking!
9. Blake Griffin
BG could very well be top 5 , but his career sample size is so small, that he couldn't be any higher than this- for now.
10. Shaquille O'Neal
I'm sure this is very controversial, but you can't deny the raw power. Yes he only had two variations of the dunk, but the man pulled the WHOLE backboard down. (Look for a Luc Longley sighting as well)
Love it or leave it, that's my list. What do you think?

2. Dominique Wilkins
They call him the "Human Highlight Reel," and with good reason. Dominique pioneered the windmill and tomahawk jams, and also dunked with power.
3. Michael Jordan
The man who is most synonymous with dunks. The man who is most synonymous with basketball in general. I'm sure a lot of people will think he should be number one, but I will argue that. That being said, the coolest thing about Jordan's dunks was how he seemingly floated through the air. (Cue up I believe I can fly)
