Best NBA dunks (in-game / non-dunk contest)

[jtex316]

Here are some of the best in-game dunks that I can think of (these do not count any slam-dunk dunks).

Add your own to this list.  This list is in no particular order.

1. Pippen over Ewing, 1990-ish



Scottie Pippen (Bulls) comes from the "off" side of the court (the "off" side means the side that the ball is not, e.g. if he's holding the ball in his right hand, he is coming from the opposite side of the court of where the ball is).  He takes the ball and takes off from about a foot in front of the foul line and one-hand stuffs it with his right hand over Patrick Ewing (Knicks), and then pushes him down.  The foul was called on Ewing, I believe.

2. Johnson over Olajuwon



Kevin Johnson (Suns), who's about 3 feet tall, skies over Hakeen Olajuwon (Rockets) and slams it right in his mouth.

3. Kobe Bryant over Yao Ming



Yao Ming is 7 foot 6, and everyone was so intimitaded by him - until Kobe slammed one in his grill.

4. Amare Stoudamire over Michael Olowakandi



This dunk was retarded.  This is a full speed slam over him.  I think this was last year, but I loved it.

5. Dominique Wilkins



I can't find the picture for it, and I don't know the year.  Basically, Wilkins is around the free throw line, at the top of the key area.  He gets the ball and says "screw it", and takes off high in the air, and pretty much tomahawked it down on the whole opposing team.  It was ridiculous, it's like he stretched his arms out 12 feet.

-------------------------------------------------

It's all yours (yes I left off John Starks - when the whole team clears out and gives him a wide open lane to dunk through, it shouldn't count as a "great" dunk.  Plus he's punk and I don't like him).

You got the first two that would come to my mind...KJ's dunk on Hakeem and Amare's dunk over Kandi-ass. Here's another one of my favorite Stoudemire moments...The Slamming of the Bulls. I like this one mainly because of the sheer ferocity of the soaring 2-handed gorilla jam, as well as the two completely different reactions by the Bulls players he was flying over:

Really, how can you go wrong with an actual sonic boom emitting from the basket?  Classic.

1.Vince carter dunking over fredrick weis in the olympics, that has to be number 1 of all time.

2. kobe bryant- last year, throwing his nuts all over dwight howard. Kobe's head was over the rim.

3.Julius erving- AGAINST the lakers. On the fastbreak cupped it and windmilled it as michael cooper slid by. Still one of the best dunks of all time.

4.VInce carter vs the hawks- takes the ball baseline and throws it right in dikembe mutombo's grill.


Here's a little montage of carter's best dunks.

Those clips made me very depressed.

Vince Carter should burn in hell

[jtex316]

Vince Carter is one of the NBA's all-time greatest dunkers (in-game and in slam-dunk contests).  Live with it.

[raptorsfan29]

he's one of the biggest back stabbers in the game.

As soon as I saw this thread before even reading it I thought of KJ over Hakeem and Kobe of Ming. I forgot about the Carter dunk in the olympics but that is one of the greatest dunks I have ever seen! Great thread!!!!
