For me its a toss up between "Chocolate Thunder" Darrel Dawkins or Shawn Kemp.Kemp had extreme athleticism that went along with the power that made his dunks look so much better.Too bad he cant stay clean

James Worthy used to be a hellacious one-handed dunker in traffic on the break too. It was weird because he didn't look that powerful and there were no broken backboards and elaborate facial gestures afterward; but he was throwing down with ease in heavy traffic.
Dwight Howard anyone? I know he's not from the past, but he isnt a finesse dunker in my book after watching a few clips of him.
Shawn Kemp had a powerfull dunk before he retired and grew a beer belly...now hed just ruin the basketball goal. Shaq can be powerfull when he elevates then comes down. Josh Howard can get some authority in his dunks if its a fast break
Darryl Dawkins. The guy was the backbourd smasher original. There was this guy, I forgot his name though, but he broke 2 backbourds in a single game. Now that must be power.Kemp could slam it hard and have show-time dunks. He was one of the few tall dudes who could jam well. Kenyon is the best new hard slammer.
its gotta be daryl dawkins, it was something like 3 backboards he ripped down in one season and that pretty much how people think of him now as the self-promoting backboard destroyer
All time there's....charles barkley, shawn kemp, darryl dawkins, shaqnow there's...ben wallace, amare, k-mart, dwight howard and still shaq sometimes.
