The best dunk, hands down is when Cherokee Parks came into Krispy Kreme and dunked a custard filled long john into his fresh brewed coffee.
Oliver Miller's first two points came off a one handed 180 slam over David Robinson(In his prime) There was a reported 3.4 earth quake on the rictor when he came down. Slim
I don't know what you guys saw, But I have this video of some pre-game show before the 2002 slam dunk contest, and they showed the "best" dunkers to join the DunkContest ever. And here is the listI think people actually winning the contest had something to do with it, just look at 7) 10. Kenny SMith 9. Larry Nance 8. Stanbury and Kemp 7. Dee Brown 6. Kobe 5. Dr .J 4. Spud Webb 3. Nique 2. Vince 1. MJ
TenaciousB Lol. I like when Byron Scott did a dunk got fouled the ball flew high in the air and went in. Byron just glanced over his shoulder bucked at the dude and walked off briskly.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting magicfrankie:</div><div class="quote_post">I was thinking about the Vince Carter dunk on 7'2 Frederic Weiss at the Sydney Olympics, but I'd like to know what ESPN said.</div> Id have to agree with you on this on!!! That was an awesome dunk...unbelievable!
the show i watched said best dunkers, they did it becuz of the brothers who first flyed, the airplane story. anyways i remember top 4, 1} Julius Erving 2} Michael Jordan 3} Dominique Wilkins 4} Vince Carter
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The BEST Dunker EVER is.. Dominic Wilkins!!!</div> I agree...I've never seen anyone rise like 'Nique during his college days at Georgia - UNBELIEVABLE!!! Jordan could not get up like 'Nique, Carter is the closest I've seen. To be fair, they're two totally different dunkers. Jordan was more comparable to Erving in style, as 'Nique is more comparable to VC. Props to Phonetap for remembering David Thompson, he was right up there with Erving back in the ABA days. Definitely top five all-time.

He did win two dunk contests (albeit against weak competition). The only reason Kenny Smith was on the list was becasue he's on TNT.
There are two great articles in SLAM Classic showcasing why Nique should have won the dunk contest, and why Jordan should have won it. After reading both of them, I must say that the Nique one was much stronger, because Nique was better that night. Michael repeated the same dunk twice, and missed once I believe. Nique: 50 Jordan: 40
MJ is an overrated dunker ! Dr.J, Vince, and Nique .. all made better dunks than MJ did ! besides .. Nique and Vince have done great In-Game dunks .. !
