    I'd have to say either Dominique Wilkins, LeBron James or Michael Jordan. I know LeBron has only been in the NBA for a year but damn have you seen how high he gets? And all the stuff he's able to do?

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting 30 standing ver:</div><div class="quote_post">^You remember the year before he retired. I think it was 98 and he was already 35 and Sir Charles did a put back dunk with his elbow above the rim. That was from a standstill jump and he was already kinda old. Man he could've done the elbow dunk in the game before Vince did it in the dunk contest.</div>

    Yeah, I remember that. There's a reason Barkley was named MVP in 1993...he's just simply amazing, even in his last days in a uniform. Too bad he didn't win a title...he needed one more key player for the Sixers/Suns, and he would've had that ring [​IMG]

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting durvasa:</div><div class="quote_post">Charles is barely 6'5", and throughout his career he was able to dunk the ball in the traffic off two feet with both hands. I wouldn't say he's a great leaper, but he gets up pretty high for someone so wide.</div>

    Well, Charles packed 252 lbs, and was said to be 6'6" but he was really 2 inches shorter than that. I've never seen a power forward at 6'4"...let alone someone that good. He was a great scorer, one of the best rebounders ever (Round Mound of Rebound), a really great passer (he did a behind-the-back pass from halfcourt and hit it perfectly...as he was running and pushing the ball upcourt), and a really good defender. He also brought the bad-boy attitude to the game just in time for Dennis Rodman to start with his hair color. He's the ORIGINAL CB4/CB34...Chris Bosh isn't even better than Barkley's shadow.

    Nique and Kobe at the top of my list. Nique had so much power. He always dunked wiht one thing in mind (Or so it appears) : "tear down that damn rim when you get up there"

    I rememebr watching that ESPN top 10 dunkers HL reel and they were like "We'll be quiet now" and you get to hear Niques power on the damn rim. Chocolate Thunder (Darryl Dawkins) is also one of my favorites. He is the reason for the break-away rims in the NBA, don't you know??!!

    All these players u guys are naming are great/exciting.

    But when I see Shawn Kemps highlites...He created so much excitement..."Reignman"

    Payton/Kemp have the best oops of all time...and u cant forget that famous oop for the game when Kemp swung around the rim...that was awesome..

    He added flare and power to his dunks...Taunting his opposition...and gettin the crowd into it...

    I loved his after-dunk actions...pointing at the guy....posing...

    He was awesome...He had a beatuiful frame (i aint gay)...he was tall, sleek, and he had the fade....He would dribble coast to coast and slam it home..

    He never really won a SDC because he would try to do crazy stuff and ended up missing dunks...

    He was a sensational player....full of excitiment...just gives you an adrenaline rush...

    POWERFUL, SMOOTH, ATHLETIC, FLARE, ETC....he had it all...

    I really love the dunk he did in the SDC when he dunked from the dotted line with his legs spread and knees bent...Thats picture perfect....

    I also love that dunk against the Warriors when he cuffed it, and posed in the air with his legs...MAN this guy was sweeet....and the dude fell....Haha..that was awesome

    WOWOWOWOWOWOW.

    He wasn't afraid to dunk it everytime...and everytime he got in the paint...u were gonna get posterized.

    ALso...has anybody seen the tape "The Reignman"..

    Some players I love watching:

    Michael Jordan: Obviously a great in the game. Who didnt like watching this mans game winners and dunks. Most exciting player IMO.

    Allen Iverson: Throws his body all over the place and I love watching him drive in the paint and finger roll against players like Shaq and Big Ben. Never gives up and tries his hardest for the sake of his team. Right now I think he still could be the fastest in the NBA.

    Kobe Bryant: Amazing in the 4th quarter. You never know what hes going to do next either. Always suprising in games and never gives up. Hits game winners and rebounds and in some years can assist on average.

    Vince Carter: When he wasnt hurt...this man used to be a great dunker and shooter. He only missed 9 games last season but still didnt do anything suprising. But as for the years he didnt get hurt...he was amazing and awesome to watch in every game he played. Still waiting for a breakout year once again.

    Charles Barkley: Never really gave him any credit for what he accomplished. Watching him was always awesome. Including the fact that he was 6'5 and still rebounded over 11 rpg almost every season and one season almost averaged 15. Another funny thing was when he slammed fat Shaq and showed him what he was made of [​IMG].

    Theres alot more players I love to watch really...just too many to mention because theres so much talent arriving in the NBA. Thats just some I like/liked seeing play.

    Haha I think alot of people will see that hes gonna get stopped by some ppl next year after losing some of that weight. The only reason he was ever good is because hes a fat gorilla that nobody could stop. Now that hes skinnier....lets see what happens to him this year. Cant wait hahahaha!

    You must not remember Shaq in his first couple years in the league.

    Losing the weight will only improve Shaq's game. At 300+ pounds, he's still stronger than any other player in the league. And he'll probably be quicker, more agile, and have less injuries.

    The greatest or most exciting player of all times would have to be Micheal Jordan! My cousins got me into the bulls when I was younger. But right know I am going to have to say Pau Gasol, but I am not bias or anything. If you can't tell I am a huge Grizzlies fan!

    He may not be as strong, because he's working more on a cardio workout with less weights.

    His endurance will shoot up, as well as his agility.

    However, one problem he'll definitely have is the increased difficulty of finishing after a hard foul. He can't use his weight to throw the ball up anymore, and his arms will be smaller. I'm sure he'll adjust though, but who knows.

    Jason Williams (the one out of Florida) was VERY creative and exciting to watch when he first entered the NBA, his moves and passes were nothing short of astonishment but he also averaged a lot of turnovers during that time. He is much more of a responsible player now and even though he is no longer someone who will be on the highlights day in and day out, he is that much more valuable to his team today than when he was just a rook.
