It is a shame and crazy to think Aaron Gordon never won a slam dunk championship with all those crazy high level dunks. I think Zach Levine deserved one, but Gordon got robbed one of those years. Only other person who can understand how he feels is Dominique. Jordan and Webb robbed Dominque of his championship.

That Jason Richardson dunk is extremely underrated. Catching it on the bounce between the legs backwards. Aaron Gordon did it this year just not on the bounce....

[@bertgeneroso7016]

You guys forgot Spud Webb at 5'6 in height See how he takeoff and elevates in the air 😊

[@bingbong4019]

How can you fools say anyone but Gordon should be #1?! He jumped over a full grown man, wrapped the ball under his legs, and reverse slammed it... NOTHING even remotely close to that has ever been done. Vince's shitty windmill has been done in games dozens of times.

[@sheheryarI]

Helpdickstuckincow Your forgetting the fact that Vince basically invented and mastered the reverse 360.

[@houndedhaxer]

But Gordon used the mascot to gain height. he pushed down on the ball while jumping to make him go higher in the air. it was still a very hard and nice dunk, just not as good as vince carters, in my opinion

[@bingbong4019]

+Internet Genius Doesn't change the fact that his dunk wasn't as good as Gordon's.

[@bingbong4019]

+houndedhaxor - Yeah I guess he did push off a bit. But I still believe the dunk was much better than Carters 360. I'm willing to bet that any high flying NBA player today (Lebron, Lavine, Gordon, Larry Nance, ect) could do a 360 windmill. I just don't find it impressive.

[@houndedhaxer]

Thats true, I think I like vince carters dunk more just because of the nostalgia.

[@dudebro5527]

I get why MJs from the kinda free throw line is #10 compared to the other but that dunk, but that dunk is the most important dunk of all time. It solidified 2 things. That MJ deserved the nicknames "Air"/"His Airness" and it created a logo for his brand that is known/respect globally.
