I agree, and I will add that every dunk on the list (except for no.2) is better than no.1.

[@summersong5876]

Ive seen all the dunks youve mentioned but the no.1 dunk really blew my mind. stupidly amazing!

[@wgb01001]

There’s just something so visually appealing about Dr. J’s dunk over Michael Cooper. It’s the perfect in-game dunk and the greatest I’ve ever seen. Should be no. 1 forever.

[@jimdixon3470]

Amen. Some dunks are an amazing triumph over adversity, like a soldier slogging through rough terrain and enemy fire to capture a position against all odds. And then there are dunks that are like ballet, just oozing style and grace, making you think that gravity, and normal body mechanics, do not apply to the dunker.

[@samuelmunoz1464]

The greatest in game dunk is Vince Carter's dunk of death in the Olympics nothings even close. If we're only counting NBA you're probably right.

Its insane how no matter how advanced the game gets, when they talk about greatest dunks ever this is always on the list.

[@ruffnecky3]

no Kobe, no Wilkins, no Drexler? no Shaq breaking the glass? How old r u?

[@austinbryant4242]

I hope you know the old nba courts weren't as stable and had real glass in the finish. It would only take a quick powerful dunk to break them. Lebron, KD, and Blake griffin have all broken the backboard glass while being tested on the old courts. They tried to attempt to break the new force withstanding glass (which even a bus falling onto it couldn't break it) and did not succeed. Shaq breaking the glass is not much a milestone really.

I thought Jordan's free throw dunk would be # 1. Am i missing something here that #1 was pathetic

[@paulieramos]

you ain't lieing, i was diggin it somewhat, i mean it wasn't blow'n my wig back, and then number 1..........i was like WHAT DA FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK

[@johnbernardo8291]

In a game

[@mdog2560]

I think two big issues come into play in putting Jordan's free throw dunk at #1. One, he wasn't the first to do so. Dr. J did it years before him. Two, while it is impressive and few can do it, it wasn't in a game-time situation. It was thought out ahead of time. He could get a running start, get his stride and feet work adjusted for the maximum amount of momentum and forward drive to do so. If he had done that in a game, there would never be a dunk that could rank above it ever. You are right about one thing. #1 did suck. What idiot ranked these?

[@johnbernardo8291]

maybe hes related to number 1# or it could just be his fav bball plaeyr

[@johnbernardo8291]

plyerer* sorry for me chinese

[@rokkstar5565]

That pippin over Ewing should of been listed

[@altonwilliams7117]

Dr J’s dunk is the best! It had the most style.

[@gwreevesReeves]

Vince Carter vs the Clippers (alley-oop) is the best. Greatest elevation, greatest form, best finish, MASSIVE rotational momentum....just perfect.

[@SupaHans04]

i was really hoping to see some savage dunk for the #1 and this guy ....

[@yourog5352]

he put george bush at number 1 lol

[@rellom777]

I'm not disagreeing with you, but that guy did fly up there. That was up in the air from far and got very high. But that Julius Erving dunk in my opinion was #1. He took that to the rim beast mode

[@janglee8523]

You must don't know about grammar.

[@mikes3827]

+Spoken Gaming TV Agreed. Personally I think the Dr. J dunk on Michael Cooper is the most iconic dunk ever, but that Tom Chambers dunk is also iconic. Considering where Chambers took off from, then to almost have his KNEES at 6'5 Mark Jackson's HEAD is crazy. Then to top it off, Chambers looked like he rose even higher right before he dunked it. VERY impressive. I don't think some ppl realize HOW good Chambers was in his prime: over 27 PPG, over 8 RPG, very good shooter...and could dunk it on almost anyone.

[@tristiandavis7613]

I watched almost every Sonic game before Clay Bennett lied to the courts and stole them. Shawn had more talent than almost anyone ever but he would only excel for a few minutes at a time. If he had learned to use that talent for the full game every game he would have had numbers like Jordan. He was amazing but really amazing for short bursts!

[@gregbull2690]

Doc rock the cradle in the NBA Finals vs. Lakers is #1 IMHO. They also skipped his facial on Kareem as well. You could also argue Daryl Dawkins breaking backboards is at very least honorable mention. No Dominique Wilkins? Really? This generation missed some of the best NBA action of all time, not the football without pads and constant foul shots of today. Fast breaks were the reason I watched the highlights every night. Don't get me wrong, there are some incredible players today, just not the same as the 80's and 90's type of game.

[@MrVvulf]

Detroit Pistons Bad Boys would make so many current players cry. Couldn't agree more with your other comments too. Dominique Wilkins, Clyde Drexler, Daryl Dawkins ... no dunk list is complete without them.

Jordan's dunk over Ewing should be higher because of the degree of difficulty. But Vince's dunk is No. 1

+Jay Scribe As a Suns fan, I'm familiar with the Tom Chambers dunk, but KJ over The Dream is the best Suns dunk of all time. TC should not be #1 on this list in my opinion and KJ over Olajuwon should be on the list.

[@ronaldaraujo1658]

The 3rd top is better than 1st

[@mikekinard8998]

3 was the best

[@hammermk4001]

Mike kinard I agree

[@maspvt1409]

yep, who is he??

[@BWR84]

#8 is Julius Erving

[@TheMajortanner]

I like how Dr. J's wasn't about crass intimidation but rather style and purpose!

[@leonidays898]

Shawn Kemp swag 🔥

[@skiburnski7543]

This list should have been reversed. The degree of difficulty in Michael Jordan's dunk at #10 is Ridiculous!. First of all it was not a fast-break, New York had their half-court defense set (New York had one of the toughest defenses back then). Second Jordan had to shake two defenders off on a very tight baseline. And third after he shook those defenders he had to elevate over the 7 foot Patrick Ewing who was waiting for him, and dunk it. Level of difficulty = 1000. And at #9 with Dr J, almost every dunk he did has been copied, because before the ABA and NBA merged in 76, there were mostly boring dunks and people would knock you on the ground for trying to dunk unless you were big like Wilt Chamberlain. The emotional significance of that dunk he had over Michael Cooper cannot be measured. People in the audience were about to cry because they had heard about Dr. J for so long but the ABA never televised any games. So to see him cuff it and fly through the air and jam it like that was a spectacle. Ok I'm going to shutup now... I'm old.

[@trentfreeman2182]

Thankz grandpa

[@unclejuniorssexybuttcheeks7802]

YOUR RIGHT ON THE MONEY...THANKS FOR EXPLAINING IT IN DETAIL; THATS EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS AND MORE...IF YOU CAN PLEASE EXPLAIN HIS OTHER DUNKS IN DETAIL THAT WOULD BE GREAT FOR A LOT OF MORONS WHO JUST DONT UNDERSTAND 👍🏿

[@emericaclay1]

Vince on zo best NBA poster ever.body bump and jam over one o the all time great shotblockers

[@newtonplays1673]

what was so special about number 1?

[@TheRadFactor]

***** Nah, his eyes hardly reached the rim's level, but he seemed able to jump for longer if required and still dunk. Saying that, it is an ordinary dunk that should not be even in the Top50. The rest of the list is quite spectacular.

[@Statalyzer]

Newton Plays Well he jumped from closer to the FT line than the rim, and his eyes were still at rim level when he got there. It shouldn't be #1 but it's easily top 10 and better than a couple of other of these in the list.

[@antonsebastian6484]

He's white

[@Junkman2008]

TheRadFactor Agreed.

[@ZoldZsolt]

Newton Plays Maybe he shouldn't be on the first place, but has a place for certain in the top 10 to counter the rumours, that white man can't jump.

[@rokcestnik8761]

Its not NBA but I agree. Best dunk ever, BY FAR

[@johnatspray]

Could be a lot of other dunks, but these are some classics 👍

[@RB2331]

Great memories for a NBA fan ...I watched 5 of the top 10 live at my home when they happened and it seems like yesterday ...haha

[@aurorahiraeth5896]

Blake griffin didn't dunk.

[@TheHellTribe]

He most certainly did. A dunk is simply defined as a shot where the player takes the entirety of the ball above the rim, and the ball moves downward for the duration of the shot. Blake's shot is clearly moving downward for the duration. A "slam dunk" simply adds the word "forcefully" in front of downward. Typically a dunker makes contact with the rim, but it is a growing trend not to. DeAndre Jordan does it all the time, throwing it down with two hands but pulling his hands to his hips really fast without contacting the rim. Besides, Blake does contact the rim, but Perkins pushes him backwards a bit so the contact is light. The downward force, however, is awesome, hence the Mozgov moment.

[@dino988]

[@kragratt]

All awesome dunks. I was a Bulls fan in the 90's so of course I hated the Knicks. But I have to give credit where credit is due, John Starks dunk against the Bulls in the playoffs is still one of the best I have ever seen. This was actually a pretty good list considering how silly it is to really try and put a top ten list like this together but I would have to find room for Starks. Just my insignificant 2 cents worth. Really, nice job on this list though.

Where is the one with Scottie Pippen dunking on Patrick Ewing??????

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

Scottie is one of my all time favorite players. That dunk is one of my favorites. He just stood over Ewing for a few seconds.

[@Badguy10472]

Ewing was never the same player after Scottie walked all over him.

[@JesusLopez-wu4po]

Or Kevin Johnson over Hakeem

[@knisarcpa]

That is the #1 dunk of all-time. Finished Ewing’s career.

[@michaeltheo3875]

youre right buddy!!!!!best dunk i ever saw & then he taunts ewing!!!

[@brycecolwell4304]

id have to say these are sick dunks, a couple i aint seen before. i agree with how this was set up, the sickest dunks are those in opposition, blowing thru or over people, pure facials.

[@simonalexander7137]

That Chambers dunk does deserve to be there. it's ridiculous. I don't know if they are top 10 but there was a J.Howard - C.Webb off the back board dunk and almost all of Latrell Sprewell's dunks had funk for days.

[@daquinwashingtonjr921]

Blake griffin doesn't dunk he just throws the ball down

[@ianpleasant]

+hardwirecars No. the number 1 dunk doesn't even belong in a top 50.

[@kevinmcghee2452]

No the reason why I said that was because I was looking for a 360 or something Vince Carter related

[@brotheldan2009]

+Kevin McGhee it wasnt even a dunk he just threw it in hard

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Love the taunt from Shawn Kemp. No bullshit techs for that back in the day. Malice at the Palace changed all that.

MastaKneeGrow323 Those guys are are mostly known for their offensive moments, ergo the ones that make the highlight reels. That's the only thing the kids, who didn't watch the games when they happened, see. While Pip was devastating on offense, his main strength lied in his defensive abilities. The stuff that's less flashy goes unseen by the modern generation.

[@MrZackavelli]

MastaKneeGrow323 You're misconstruing what I said. If I alluded to Scottie's Ewing dunk lacking flash, it was unintentional. I was saying that defense is typically less flashy, and consequently, isn't as conducive to highlight reels as offense is. I was saying that though Scottie had considerable offensive capabilities, he's mostly known for his defensive game. The reverse goes for Jordan. And I could give you a bunch of links that showcase how devastating Pip's offense could be.
