Ranking NBA Best DUNKERS (in-game)

[@RiseOfTaj]

Love how you just jump straight into it with no bullshit no jump cuts. Much love and respect.

[@whatshorts]

Intros are pointless. everyone knows why they clicked the video. LFG!

[@martinusNBA]

Bam Adebayo blocked Jayson Tatum with the single finger. I remember Kawhi doing something similar to Jamal Murray that same season. Also Wemby blocked a Giannis dunk in their nationally televised game against each other

[@whatshorts]

this is everything. thanks man. it's all come back to me

[@metal--babble346]

Amen Thompson watch list. That youngster power dunks with 40% effort. We're waiting for a bowling pin slam, where 4 defenders get knocked over.

[@whatshorts]

I'll keep my eyes peeled. might actually watch the rockets next year.

[@JeremyKang8]

Woah just discovered another amazing channel from an amazing KZbinr

[@whatshorts]

You're too kind 😊

[@kinsecure]

No Malik Monk is crazy

[@whatshorts]

true. beautiful dismounts from lobs

[@ShannoWhamo]

I will miss DJJ in Dallas, he really had become my favorite player...in a press conference about the playoffs when he was asked if he was worried about defending someone and he said he fears "no man who bleeds blood like I bleed" which is just so cool. I actually wish he was getting a bigger payday with the Clippers, I think he deserves it even if the Mavs couldn't pay it!

[@whatshorts]

That's a pretty BA quote. I like him too. I'm excited to watch him play. I go to a few clippers games every year. The Clippers became more likable this offseason. Curious if Klay can give you more value than DJJ

[@Instantur]

No Jaylen Brown is crazy

[@whatshorts]

probably 12. below Lebron at 11

[@c3lestrial227]

no diddy is crazy

[@nhc7772]

I couldn’t agree more. He’s caught more bodies then most on this list. Two awesome dunks in the NBA Finals too

[@stacanmart1]

No Chris Paul is crazy

[@metal--babble346]

roll 2022/23 tape of Shaedon Sharpe's rookie season. The kid has alien spaceship springs. Last year Sharpe was playing through a core injury, and it reduced the amount of UFO sightings in Portland.

[@whatshorts]

interesting. that makes a lot of sense. hope he's feeling better.

[@N.Doughnut]

I'd replace Shaedon with Obi Toppin. Obi is the only player that I know of that does dunk contest dunks during close playoff games... That being said there's a lot of disagreement in the comments which means people have strong opinions about dunkers, and there's only 10 spots to fill so somebody would always have a disagreement with the list. Good video!

[@whatshorts]

yeah, obi almost made it. my only gripe with him is he only really puts on a show with a completely uncontested dunk from what I recall. I could be ignorant though. Definitely a beast though

[@N.Doughnut]

@@whatshorts That is very true he relies extremely heavily on the fast break. Thats a good enough reason to leave him off of the list I don't mind

[@gnm4]

Nice vid idea! High flyers are one of the most fun things to watch even for new fans

[@whatshorts]

they bring the boys to the yard.

[@Octave-Gaming]

Very guard & wing happy list. Makes me wonder if you should make a part 2 with only bigs.

[@whatshorts]

I'm going to do "rim protectors" this week or next.

[@ronnie3613]

Pretty sure Wemby blocked Giannis during that one really great matchup last season during clutch time ball.

[@whatshorts]

yeah, I gotta look that up. people were saying that in the chat.

[@Thurokiir1]

Came here for this comment. It moved the ROTY race towards Wemby as people were unsure if he could stop someone like a Giannis. Which is unfair, the kid was 20 at the time.

[@lexkoal8657]

Thanks for the videos

[@whatshorts]

the pleasure is all mine.

[@ltrigga219]

Haha, I legitimately love that Shaedon evolving and become less one-dimensional gets him lower on this list. He had a few NASTY ones last year, like when he tried to remove Walker Kessler’s torso. And the back to back tomahawks with him and Ja. Edit: Shaedon’s vert from college was reported as 49”, which I would be tops…of all time. Ja is listed at 44-46. Wilt and MJ had 48s.

[@whatshorts]

I remember when Keon Johnson broke the record. then Sharpe topped that. crazy.

[@jysprk7395]

AG actually lost to lavine in the dunk contest when lavine was on the wolves

[@whatshorts]

best dunk contest of all time

[@gavinmoore8358]

No way kuminga over sharpe

[@whatshorts]

Kuminga's got a 20 minute dunk compilation though

[@Sanchw1ch]

Ja vs Ant dunk contest would feed generations.

[@whatshorts]

They only dunk for cash considerations

[@muggydoughnut9932]

Great list

[@whatshorts]

Thanks man. Appreciate it.

[@bookaufman9643]

"makes it look like he's been there before." This is a basketball video you're not allowed to steal football phrases. 😊 I've always loved the "act like you've been there before" quote. Football players who do something amazing to get a touchdown and then just hand the ball to the ref are the coolest by far. It's better than any dance moves that they might have been working on for 3 or 4 months. Even better than the icky shuffle.

[@whatshorts]

some soccer players just pull the ball out of the net and roll it to the ref and get back on their side. love it.

[@greenswamponion7330]

No Andre Drummond 😡😡😡 my goat

[@whatshorts]

you watching Drummond dunk compilations, fam? ;)

[@greenswamponion7330]

@whatshorts Ant and Ja are too exciting. Gotta dial it back sometimes and watch Gobert and Drummond. Hey though he did have that poster on chet that was pretty hype 😂

[@metal--babble346]

Drummond will get a chance for redemption. He's on the turbo power Sixers squad. Andre will be primetime.

[@SociaLightConsulting]

Bam finger blocked Tatum I believe. Also Wemby blocked a Giannis backdown dunk

[@whatshorts]

Yup those were them!

[@Ciorno2K]

Bro yk you're a freak athlete when you miss dunks because you were to aggressive I could only dream of that 😭

[@whatshorts]

Gain the power, gain the control.

[@damienkai651]

Wow Jaylen Brown should be on this list

[@whatshorts]

there can only be 10. there's some real high flyers on this thing.

[@deluxe9328]

happy Monday whatshorts. there was one really fucked up derrick lively dunk during the finals that gave me pause

[@whatshorts]

haha! I gotta go find that dunk

[@bobbysmoove4796]

Absolutely insane you didn’t include Obi Toppin. The only player to do a between the legs dunk in an nba game more than once (one was in a playoff game!)

[@whatshorts]

who would I take off the list?

[@bobbysmoove4796]

Probably Giannis because his dunks have the least amount of style on this list but it’s effective for his play and not just for show so I understand you featuring him on this list

[@brodymcgowan9989]

The lack of Obi Toppin on this list is not good

[@whatshorts]

I know I know. maybe should have taken the sharpe spot

[@metal--babble346]

naaaah, Sharpe will be back. The Obi eastbay dunk gets boring. Wait until LeBron has to duck when Shaedon gets loose

[@TeamFuckSwagg]

@@metal--babble346facts Obi is only good for the eastbay

[@CheepsAhoy69]

Obi doesn’t poster anyone tho, he’s an open lane fastbreak dunker

[@AG_333]

I didn't know you watched football tf? are you still into it? I wanna see some what shorts football content. also, kinda random, but you should defo start streaming.

[@whatshorts]

I had a long football phase and a long football phase (american). But I'm so far out of the game to do a show on it. Trying to convince my brother to start one.

[@bookaufman9643]

Before I even read you're Giannis take I said out loud that I'm pretty bored with his dunk game to be honest. Pretty synchronistic.😊

[@whatshorts]

Stomp, stomp, boom. 🥱

[@metal--babble346]

Giannis can pick up his dribble at the logo, then stride in for a big slam. It's just crazy dunk range.

Malik Monk?

[@whatshorts]

I'm kind of agnostic. I go to a lot of Clippers games, but usually to see the other team. I'm rooting for OKC this year.

[@wtwjustin]

I would put ja over djj but how is bron not top ten??

[@whatshorts]

fair enough. I got a soft spot for DJJ. I think Bron is too good at other stuff for me to even think of as a great in game dunker.

[@roquemartinez7013]

Bruh I commented on a video from three months and you responded that quick???
