    4. Jason Richardson
    5. Tracy Mcgrady
    6. Shawn Kemp
    7. Lebron James

    1. J-Rich: Hes got the two best dunks in a dunk contest and hes the only person with 3 in the top 10. He and MJ are the only players ever to win back-to-back Slam Dunk Titles. Hes done dunks that have never even been attempted by anyone else in the NBA, I think it would be difficult not to put him at #1.
    2. Vince Carter
    3. Nique
    4. Jordan
    5. Dr. J
    6. Spud Webb
    7. Desmond Mason
    8. T-Mac
    9. Steve Francis
    10. Brent Barry (he did a dunk from the FT line, its #25 on the list [​IMG] )

    sidenote: I actually like your list as well BJM, but JRich is just way too high on that list, i would def. put him on my top 5, but #1?? Nique in the 80s basically reveresed and windmilled over EEEVVERRRRRYONNNNE. Plus, in-game dunking, i wouldn't even put JRich in my top 5, he's nowhere near the showstopper Vince Carter was in his early days. Good list though overall.

    Thanks, I understand about the in-game dunking, J-Rich really doesnt do that much unless its alley-oops or put-backs. Maybe its my homerism, i dont know. I put him at #1 mostly because of his top 2 in-contest dunks, I've never even seen anyone attempt any of those dunks let alone complete them. Its just amazing. Also, NBA players as well as athletic streetballers are pulling off VC, MJ, Nique dunks all the time, those dunks just arent as amazing anymore because now any very good dunker can do them. I can see why many would put J-Rich around 5 but I dont think he should be any lower than that. Just my opinion...

    Oops, i meant to say Smith. [​IMG] But you know some of the 90s dunkers that retired were really good too. Shawn Kemp was sick, Kenny Walker, Harold Miner and Larry Johnson would be my honorable mentions.

    10.Bill Walker once he gets to the League

    I know Spud Webb is 5'7 and can throw it down and I should have put him on my list but his dunks only stood out in one dunk contest, but much love to Spud.

    I feel u on the J-Rich thing. I'm not gonna put a list. Just wanna say J-Rich is listed at 6'6 but ask any Warrior who goes to their games and fans and they'll tell u he's 6'3. That's like Steve Francis but does more windmills in games.

    The through the legs reverse off the lob with the off hand put down was amazing. And the off the backboard through the legs was even more amazing. To bad know 360 off the lob puttin the elbow in the rim and the 360 through the legs off the lob didn't go down. He would've had 4 outta the best 10 dunks ever.

    Jordan is the best player to play in the nba but who dunks better is my opinion. When it comes to hops, jordan obviously has it. But when it comes to serious showcasing, the above players are better. Jordan goes behind the free throw line to win every slam dunk contest, the judges gives him a biased 50 everytime he does that. While Dominique's dunks were obviously more stylish, original and appealing.

    You know who I was surprised by? Jerome Kersey in that 87 dunk contest they showed on classic. I was sleepy as hell cuz it was about 3:30 in the morning but damn I had no idea Jerome could do those cradle dunk. I could've swore I seen him do a two and half cradle dunk. Must have been trippin.
