Best Dunk in team history?

Incorrect. That dunk put Portland on the map in professional sports. It was a signature moment in the utter dismantling of the team with the best record in the league that year.

There's a reason that any Blazer fan worth his salt can recite Schonley's call of it:

"Cheney the rebound. Lucas bats the ball away, keeps it alive! Over for Walton, Lucas with the steal, Walton..... OVER JABBAR!!! OH BABY, HE IS FOULED!!"

Walton's dunk over Kareem is the most important dunk in Blazer history. I don't see how any Blazer fan can dispute that, so for some, it is the best regardless of how relatively normal it looks on tape.

Drexler had many dunks better than that one though, in terms of sheer dunking.

 

While I absolutely agree that Drexler was a better athletic dunker than Walton, or perhaps any other Blazer ever, I don't think Drexler ever had a dunk that made such an impact on a game, series, or rivalry. I could count Drexler's dunk on Laimbeer, if it inspired the team to come back to win, which it didn't:

Or Drexlers' dunk on Bill Cartwright in Game Two of the 92 Finals (@ 4:23):

But as great as Drexler was, he never had a dunk that had a bigger impact than Walton's jam over Jabbar.

 

Wish I could find some of the old Bill Ray Bates dunks. That guy through down some monster dunks.
