I would have to say Darvin Ham and Smush Parker are underrated in the dunking aspect. Both can throw down some crazy dunks.
I remember Darvin Ham in Detroit. Yes, he put tons of power behind those dunks.Stackhouse was a underrated dunker, he doesn't do that as much in Dallas as he did in Detroit.
Darvin was a sweet dunker in college and in the pros. Smush can also elevate. One kid to keep your eye out for in a year or two is the Pistons Amir Johnson. This kid is 6'10 and can throw down some rediculous windmill jams.
Wade lol nah but for real he does not get as much hype as he should dunking. I know most will say he get's the hype, but I think he is a little underrated dunking. What is he like 6'4 and the dude can jump.
You know when you think of past winners of the Slam Dunk contest, names like Nate Robinson, Jason Richardson, Vince Carter, and Josh Smith come to mind. Nobody really talks about Fred Jones being a great dunker, especially under 6'4.

The worse judges ever freaking show one score then change it that was some bs. I mean that dunk over Spud Webb that was sick mad props to Nate for that, but other then that he tryed each dunk how many times? A lot it was awful. lolIguodala should have won that after AI passed that behind the board dunk. After that it should have been over no matter what he did with his other dunks. Yes that was is first round dunk, but he did not take more then what 4 times for a dunk? And Nate took like 13-15 trys to just get one. lol

Your guys think Smush is good?HE can barely get up there and can't palm the ball. Then again I haven't seem him dunk unguarded.I heard Von Wafer is pretty sick.

And he did not try his dunks even close to as many times as Nate had to try it to complete each one. HAHAIt was better then a lot of dunk contests. It brought the dunk contest back.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (LakersFan247 @ Jun 16 2006, 06:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>yea iggy deserved it,i think most people believe that,that behind the backboard dunk was insane :yahoo: ,but anway yes smush parker is an underated dunker,he dunk with such ease,the one hander and he has alot of elevation for a point guard,course being 6'3/6'4 helps too lol </div>Yea it was funny when the fans started booing when they announced that Nate won after all the support they gave him before.And yea Smush Parker pretty good at the dunks.

Terrance Stansbury had such a great statue of liberty 360.Ray Allen can get up much better than people think.Scottie Pippen was one of the smoothest gliders in NBA history.Michael Cooper and Byron Scott could both get up and throw it down hard.
Josh Powell, hes 6'9" and can still get up and dunk on you there was a dunk vs. Detroit in which he really showed his elevation. I need to find that video.
Micheal Finley had some pretty nice dunks in the playoffs. Even though they were kinda simple, he elevated high and threw it down on some big men(Eric Dampier).
Finley used to be a real good dunker, I remember seeing that cartwheel dunk in the dunk contest way back when, also the two ball dunk that he attempted which came close to completing.

That game was in the Preseason, though, wasn't it?Have any of you seen Jason Terry kinda posterize (keyword kinda) on a WArriors guy?
