[@user-zj2lk8ez4b]

Vince Carter's was literally a perfection. A true illustration of what an alley oop dunk should look like my God

[@G.B.B.]

Beat me to it!! Vince Carter is the filthiest dunker ever! Just amazing!

[@KidFresh71]

The Clippers announcer was so salty, I love it. I was a Raptors season ticket holder that year, and Vinsanity was reaching a level of MJ/Kobe hype. Carter was on the verge of becoming a worldwide phenomenon, but injuries and petulant behavior kept him from truly elite status. Still, Vince was special and I'm glad he matured as he aged, and his legacy as a Hall of Fame baller and Top 3 dunker ever is secure.

[@tima.478]

That MF'ing reverse alley @ 1:18 is ridiculous!!!

[@Nogigalang]

Vince Carter alley-oop was soooo GOOD

[@jamesnichols5998]

the grace, the power. vinsane

[@philojudaeusofalexandria9556]

And all the Clippers play-by-play could say was "the fans got what they wanted.... fans still buzzing about Vince Carter"... it took the color guy to say "Vinsanity reigns supreme! ... why not!? ha ha... the pass... how does he do this?!" I don't care which team you are broadcasting for, you should be jumping out of your seat when you see something like that.

[@netrade3898]

I grew up watching Dr. J, MJ, Nique, and Clyde Drexler....Vince Carter put everyone to shame between that one handed alley oop against the Clips, and his signature 360 tomahawk windmill at the 2000 ASG in Oakland.

[@melvinhhcp3615]

I remember seeing that on TV. It was a saturday afternoon game. I walked in the house just to see the ending of it. Vince's dunk sealed the victory.

[@crmsntyde4ever428]

Agreed...In my opinion Vince Carter is the greatest "Slam-Dunker" in NBA History...BAR NONE!!!!

[@sundeep18]

Man i remember Vince that year ....every single game you were glued to the TV ... Waiting and hoping for some Vince magic

[@safiesekgwa1933]

Vin-sanity, that is.

[@JerseySoCal82]

@sunderl18Yup.. and then he passed that torch to Blake Griffin

[@VinOptimaxxx]

Gerald Green had some INSANE bounce

[@kapkyllla]

Yeah, and his dunk MUST be at least top 3. No way it's number 5.

[@CaLi4real]

The man who Blew out the 🕯️ and then dunked it 😂😂.. yeah crazy bounce

[@FLValentino]

@@CaLi4real Your attempt to discredit Gerald actually helped prove the point of the OP. You have to get up really high to blow out a candle on the heel of the rim.

[@jagutichsachma]

@@FLValentino I don't think me meant that negatively.

[@SiccDeville]

You should check out Shannon Brown. Now that man has some insane bounce!

[@Tryc3]

This list had all the best ones but vince dunks will always be my fav

[@CareyLee320]

The most of unbelievable slam dunk player: Vince carter

[@amazingworldofraffyandfran7556]

Vince Carter’s dunks are so heart pumping! Especially the 2000 olympics dunk. For me the best dunker of all time!

[@SiccDeville]

Dunking over that 7 footer and Garnett almost slugged Carter because he was so hyped.

[@julienpoisson8422]

To me, the Gerald Green windmill is the greatest of all time. Absolute perfection

[@reshardturner2369]

I agree

[@hanaf1231]

I agree too! My favorite alley oop and second favorite dunk ever (behind Vince in the Olympics of course :).

[@ShawnJon211]

That Gerald Green oop-windmill was picture-perfect! Straight FLAWLESS!!! 💯

[@marcvanosch6358]

Thats nr1 for me

[@amarsaleem4124]

Vince Carter invincible 🔥🔥🔥

[@adamh6059]

Vince carter is the greatest dunker oat.. a legend

[@Hamlet-wp2ri]

I was at that game when Vince did that amazing alley-oop vs the Clippers. The sports arena shook when he did the dunk. It was chilling.

[@pension03]

Vince carter dunks hit the right spots for me

[@richardwalther6229]

Carter at #16 wasn’t even off a lob - that was a bullet pass that he turned into an ally-oop reverse jam. What an athletic play!

[@T-Jay-eh8pm]

So was Jr Smith dunk as well

[@HaightTheGreat]

"Somebody should have told him he was coming from behind." 😂😂😂 Yeah, they should have.

[@HamNPelman]

No slam dunk list is complete without vince carter

[@patchmorrison9213]

Great selection. DeAndre's slam is brutal as hell, but I would personally swap 1 and 2 around. There's just something about VCs that feels untouchable. The most perfect and vicious execution.

[@xxoffmypantsxx]

Gerald Green was insane, but how did we all forgot how J. R. Smith was a force to be reckoned with

[@nassiglutt6587]

He was in denver and NY then legloat turned him into a pumpkin just standing there to shoot waiting to add to the diva's assist stat

[@junebug241828]

You beat me to it…JR hops was hella underrated

[@kenwilson5641]

Vince should save the top 5 at least

[@apefacewind3563]

Finally someone who includes some vintage all time alley oops 💯 great list

[@HoopLists]

Thanks man

[@philojudaeusofalexandria9556]

Wait, wait... I didn't see any vintage stuff.... Oh, you mean the 90s/early 2000s stuff? From when I was a teenager or in my early 20s? That's 'vintage' to you?... ...Does that mean *I* am vintage!? 🤯

[@BaristaShin]

Never seen anyone dunk as beautiful as Vince does

[@thanaphat422]

Vince carter alley oop should be No.1

[@Kyroshi]

Hahaha yeah man, deandre on 1 is definitely also my choice. I was hoping to see him on 1. You should have captured his face afterwards. Even he felt bad for his victim 😅

[@user-dp9ht9sm9c]

Half man half amazing is still to date can not be beaten for his amazing dunks.

[@KipArmadillo]

Gerald Green - quietly among the best dunkers in NBA history.

[@Tony2Times1]

🤯🤯🤯so much nastiness! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@ndohman]

i knew what no. 1 would be before i even started watching lol

[@fabiansoto1071]

Gerald Green windmill 🔥🔥🔥

[@jeortiz-luis4288]

dunking on small dudes isn't impressive except jordan on knight, that's an exception

[@giffymoney3832]

It was impressive because of his positioning in the air and how far back he caught the ball

[@yawkuranche3499]

"Spectators are having fun, the players are having fun and the broadcasters are having fun"😂😂

[@mavericks550gt2]

There’s soo many great ones it’s hard to make a list lol but best dunker in my opinion.. Mr Vince Carter

[@joecool2125]

HoopLists is one of the few content creators that recognizes great players and highlights from all eras of the NBA. Shawn Kemp is rarely seen in compilation videos, even though the guy was an incredible, explosive player. Great video.

[@blackeyetwice]

Great list 😃

[@Bob-fj7lr]

2:30 is borderline lost media

[@calvinmack7124]

That first one... Lawd sweet baby Jesus

[@NinaAndNathan]

Kobe to Shaq will always be iconic. ❤

[@aaronflowers8881]

I LOVE this game.

[@coachwalk7485]

i LOVE #5 Green's windmill dunk. The Houston bench couldn't hide their reactions. Even Kevin McHale reacted to that dunk and it wasn't hist team

[@errezmardi506]

number 18: the passer was earl watson, the season was 2008/2009

[@hugosegura6287]

Is a good list!!!👍🏼

[@2kdesignstudios72]

I feel like a LeBron jumping over some dude was missing. My favorite is still the Above the Rimmill but it was only like #5

[@chinoparatodo]

Green is a severely underrated dunker

[@sidekickmusic5936]

Kemp Payton is such a classic

[@electricjoshaloo]

Gerald Green's windmill has to be the best alley-oop dunk of all time. The dudes entire head was literally above the rim and the reaction from the Rockets bench was hilarious.

[@albertlatscha]

Kobs was prop the most difficult coming from the other side of the rim and getting fouled

[@JasonWeddleDeathWeddle]

That pass from Brian Shaw was tipped from the moment he let go, that's how it ended up on the other side of the rim. That dunk should've been higher on the list in my opinion

[@albertlatscha]

@JasonWeddleDeathWeddle yeah, everything about it....like chic Hearn said , he never seen that play before ..and we haven't seen it since

[@davechung]

Man loved this compilation. So many great memories and throwdowns.

[@efaz4321]

The giannis one was actually from the 2018-2019 season

[@bjy1234]

I would shuffle within the 20 but good list👍 love the classic Payton to Kemp!

[@asiasi1466]

Have we forgotten Rasheed Wallace?

[@whathappenedtothedon]

LMAO, the prophecy. #17 Dwight Howard on Jrue Holiday. Announcer: Somebody should have told Jrue Holiday he was coming from behind.

[@ramdhan8154]

Gary Payton and the Reignman have tons of great alley oop. There should be more list from the original lob city

[@Mr.SalmaHayek]

Vince Carter!!! I forgot, JR had some get up sheesh!

[@josephadams5282]

The last one will go down as the most DISRESPECTFUL one ever

[@KidFresh71]

Vince's should've been number one. Great list. My six year old daughter just asked why there were no alley oops from the Harlem Globetrotters on the list, she's so cute.

[@sidehop]

Carter's precision and power is still one of the best 😮

[@srv2217]

I think Brandon Knight is STILL laying on the court

[@BodysWorldProduction]

This was a good ass list fam!

[@realyfe32]

The Shawn kemp lob over Alonzo mourning in charlotte was dope

[@lotanity7023]

God, those alley-oop Tony Allen to Gerald Green were the greatest..

[@donwan3602]

Deandre and Lebron put them two lil guys in the graves…wrong place wrong time ☠️😂😂

[@booblanco2214]

Dwight howard coming from behind is CRAZY WILD!

[@flyBri831]

This shit was siiiiick.

[@battleboibasti9995]

Lamar Odom to Darius Miles should be in this. Don't know why it's always missin in these compilations. Preposterous!!

[@kbkb671]

Great list.

[@nandoism7731]

First time ive seen a list and i can agree with the outcome lol well done

[@HoopLists]

Thank you ♥️

[@jaulz071]

Honorable mentions: KD to Russ Brewer to D.Rose Shumpert to JR Smith Brooks to Ja (two handed windmill) Wade to Lebron (over John Lucas)

[@JetroRoldan-xv6dn]

Vince carter the god of dunk best dunker ever no one can bet him no one no one

[@SCOTTEDM]

4:58 - What!?! 🤯 It’s like dude is dunking on a 8ft elementary school rim.

[@user-uc1ie1js5j]

All of them put it down for sure, but half man half amazing can't be touched. 💪💪💪👍👍🔥💯

[@drewbreezy5854]

Amazing stuff

[@danalo5991]

DeAndre deserves that 1st spot

[@MeatzNCheez]

“Lebron James murders Jason Terry” 💀

[@kyubi18]

God damnnn Lob City Vincanity Im so grateful i got to witness

[@RH126B]

I’m in agreement with #1.

[@MadeTaylor]

4:52 Gerald Green!!! Highly underrated!!! One of the best in game dunkers of all time!!! 4:58 lookt at this!!! Looking into the basket!!! One of the best dunks of all time!!!

[@gunawankwok1382]

Im touchig my self while watching this. It was that good

[@quaisondavid2567]

Dwight Howard secretly had 2 entries on this list. That’s Gold 🙏🏾

[@GOODGAME4EVA]

That Gerald Green alley oop windmill should be top 3 all time!!!

[@JohnlloydCaptain]

Either top 1

[@VictorVenning]

#5 should have been #1. Gerald Gren was so high he risked being blinded.

[@henrymanahan2764]

Drose caught a one handed alley-oop from Ronnie Brewer that deserves a mention. The United Center and Stacey King went crazy. I WANNA GO HIGHER! THAT'S YOUR POINT GUARD GOING UPSTAIRS TO GET THAT BALL!!

[@melvinhhcp3615]

Iguodala had a couple good alley-oops from Iverson in Staples Center against the Lakers from the 04-05 season. Black 76ers jerseys. I never see those in any compilations. I did enjoy this video though.

[@programatick]

D Rose alley should've been included

[@leonardwashington2127]

Nobody takes the ball out faster than somebody who got cooked

[@gallanonim6535]

Where's VC's alley oop windmill when the played at the tar heel arena (00'/01')? With all due respect, but two windmills from Blake, where he lacks extension and no Vince with his perfect windmill?

[@jagutichsachma]

That's a real good compilation. Mix of stylish ones and historical ones and important ones. Two things to nitpick: 1) I have the Nets Gerald Green one higher 2) It is missing a Clippers one before Lob City, Lamar Odom to Darius Miles. To be fair I only ever saw that one in mid quality but would easily relegate the JC betwen the legs outta there for that.

[@reyjieyrigan2021]

#GeraLdgreen 👥💯 #vinceCarteR Awesome.. DunK

[@bradvitz2531]

Totally agree with #1 every time I see that clip I feel like I witnessed a murder.😂

[@andythomas9564]

Is Dwight Howard the tallest Gay man in history? He closes refrigerator doors with his hips and says “boop”

[@jeortiz-luis4288]

lol

[@James-hg6kt]

Deandre Jordan has the sickest alley oop

[@slyst2000]

WOWWW....🤩🤩🤩

[@manuelguerrerotorres4441]

I know you can make a part 2,3,4 and 5 to this segment‼️ and we’ll give you 1 mill likes each time🫡

[@tomaszszojda4231]

VC first place no matter which slum, all are number one.

[@2Swift4u]

the best vince carter alley oop was actually when his team mate threw it off the glas and he windmilled it. Also Lebrons alley oop dunk over Lucas should be in this top 20 imo

[@jaemoe1701]

1 Alley oop you miss was Lamar Odom to Darius Miles

[@andrewprentice6137]

I feel so bad for Jason Terry and Brandon Knight. Those dudes stepped up to challenge freight trains without regard for their person safety or rep. That's character. Particularly Jason Terry. Most of the players these days would have quit rather than play D on a 3-on-1 fast break.

[@InvestBetter.]

4:35. One word: Vin-sanity💥

[@WizardDoom]

Nr 1 and 2 are changeable, both are so good

[@Gottacheckthis]

Vince carter and Jr Smith best alley oops on this list

[@jonathantorbenson7667]

Just making sure the glove and the reignman were in the video, carry on.

[@chrispattinson8828]

Crazy that outta bounds bullet alley oop from jokic to Gordon ain't on here
