<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Nitro1118 @ Sep 22 2006, 06:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Hmmmm...1) Vince Carter- Right up there with MJ as most creative dunker ever in the NBA, but what seperates him is he is an explosive 2 footed jumper to where MJ is more of a glider. I generally prefer that style, as it allows for better in game stuff that you appreciate only in slow motion replay (which many of MJ's dunks take to find the beauty in them). And from '99-'01 VC was the best in game dunker ever seen. Just half man, half amazing.2) Michael Jordan- The most creative dunker to ever step foot in the NBA. He really didn't do much more than clutch and 180 dunks, but the way he just floated, the way he did very odd turns and movements in the air just made them spectacular looking. He was also a very good in game dunker early in his career.3) Dominique Wilkins- Another amazing dunker, very creative and POWERFUL finisher. His only drawback was that he didn't have that much variety. He was like VC in the sense that he was an explosive 2ft jumper, but outside of windmills he didn't do anything as jaw dropping as MJ or VC did. But in game he was a genious, and brought some showtime dunks into NBA games in the '80's.4) Julius Irving- The original MJ. Another amazing glider who could just float in the air. He could palm the ball like few other, and for his time was the most creative the NBA had seen up until that point.5) Jason Richardson- I know I am gonna get crucified for this, but he is my last pick over greats like David Thompson, George Gervin, Spudd Webb, Kobe, etc... People forget just how amazing this guy is. Off backboard between the legs? Piece of cake. A Dominique windmill done to absolute perfection? Easy dunk to get into next round. Other amazing dunks never before seen or attempted done with head at rim level each time? Check. Whether it be in game or in dunk contest, this guy is very underrated.</div>OMG! I forgot about Jason Richardson! I knew I was missing someone from my list, but I couldn't tell who it was! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Here's my new list:1. Vince Carter2. Jason Richardson3. Dominique Wilkins4. Michael Jordan5. Julius Erving

Well, Desmond Mason broke that rule in his 4th season...For the most part, it's for players in their first three years.

They were talking about how Vince Carter has been working on some sicko never-before-seen dunk that he would unleash in a future dunk contest on ESPN this year
