    Was the best dunk of the season last year vs Nuggets (I think) were he put it behind his back and dunked it? IMO that was ugly, looked like he had no hops. Anyone can put it behind there back and dunk it, but I like the 360 he did, now thats what I call a dunk.

    ya bro, it was the dunk of the year cause it was UGLY!!! (dumb)

    you think its easy with a defender in your face? doing a behind the back, 360 while trying to avoid running into the defender...just attempting to jump in that situation would be hard

    It is hard to dunk after putting it behind you're back. The one on Latrell Sprewell was better. The windmill under the rim. But the greatest dunk of alltime from him in IMO was between Garnett and Nesterovic, just like Sprewell's but between to 7 footers and he got higher then the one on Sprewell.

    while ill admit that tmac had an awesome dunk in the all star game last season, you biased tmac fans will never admit kobe's greatness towards anything...its ok, i understand the jealousy =D

    I agree i dont think kobes behind the back was the best either. it was one of the three:
    kobes second best dunk(the one where he went under the rimand dunked it from the other side)
    VC on duncan
    TMac off the glass vs. Raps

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting PyroManiac:</div><div class="quote_post">I have to agree with the others. It is noew Jason Richardson. Vince Carter lost his spark, he is the old generation.</div>
    I think Vince Carter is still the best dunker. Just cause he dosen't posterize people like he used to, dosen't mean he isn't a good dunker. Mason and Lebron are good dunkers, but there dunks are usually when they are all alone or on breaks. Vince can dunk on peoples head like candy.

    No, that alley oop in 2001 was sick!! Jump form one side of the rim, catch it on the other, get fouled and still posterize someone??!!! Absolutely sick!! I love watching that vid!!! Way to go Brian shaw!

    Anyone here about the dunk Vince caught in the Olympics (not last years)? Someone threw it accidently out of blounds but Vince cought the ball right by his feet while he was twisting his body to catch it and dunk it? If only someone had a camera at that time....

    I don't think anyone can put on a better show than what Vince did back in 2000. The year of JRich, Mason, Jefferson, and Amare was pretty sweet but I think Vince had one of the best contests.

    Gerald Wallace and Stromile Swift are both very good dunkers of course along with JRich, Mason, VC, and 'Bron.
