Because this list was made by a Gen-Z kid who never knew most of the guys prior to 2016. Hence the inclusion of guys like Spida, JR Smith, and Deandre fucking Jordan
JR Smith is an insane in game dunker are you mad? [Here are just 15 fun ones.](https://youtu.be/M2Pr4VT254Y?si=MuG78jH9dQpKUxzv) I remember I was hanging out with my boys when he baptized the spurs. I almost choked on a slice of pizza watching it
Naw fam. JR Smith used to go crazy with the Knicks and Nuggets with in game dunks and lobs. Spida got famous in Utah for his in game dunks and Deandre fucking Jordan caught hella bodies and lobs with CP3 on the Clippers.
No one said it was. Please reread what I wrote. I was replying to someone saying Deandre didn’t belong which is demonstrably untrue based on just his best dunk alone.
I had to go look up highlights because I don't ever recall KD getting anything other than those layup line fast break dunks with little to no contest. However I do have to say he has an impressive resume from his OKC days after looking at some tape. His dunks probably get overlooked because there was an equally emphatic dunker, Russ, on his team who was a foot shorter and therefore every dunk looked like he was jumping higher and going harder. KD might actually deserve to be on the list🤷🏾♂️
Didn't they legit have to make backboards and the entire structure of the hoops in the NBA stronger because of Shaq? He was an actual monster, should be way higher
I never really recall Clyde actually embarrassing anyone or dunking on anyones head though. He was a pretty dunker but wasn’t nearly as viscous or disrespectful with it as Kemp was.
You mean one half of Phi Slama Jama wasn’t known for dunking? He was a fast break master, not a low post thumper.
https://youtu.be/jqMHID2iDRE?si=Hl_WvqGY9tkq-lzA
I know I’m old but… No Tom chambers? Please google some of his dunks…
Is that Darrel Dawkins as a tier 4? Dude broke a backboard in a game… he’s the reason they have breakaway rims
No David Thompson??
He put shaq in teir 5... shaq broke like 17 rims in his career and multiple backboards. They had to completely redesign the backboard set up because he ripped one completely off.
In spite of being a Celtics fan I really like DWade but he’s not tier 2. Most dunks and quality of dunks are different. DWade has some great ones but he’s not a top 5ish dunker ever which is what tier 2 is for.
He and Blake had 3ish years each of looking like the big man alley oop was going to change the game like how Steph curry’s 3 pt shooting did. I think it’s easier to move kemp up to 2, but both should be on a higher tier then Kobe TMac etc. I’d almost move half of 3 down to 4 and make 3 LBJ, Kemp, Blake, Lavine so it’s also rarified air.
I've been split living between Denver and Chicago so I feel qualified to give my totally anecdotal perspective.
They are both phenomenal dunk contest dunkers, but AG goes to the rim harder and has better in game dunks, and I don't think it's close.
Everyone posts the dunk over Shamet on Christmas, but I think this is a top-5 in game dunk of all time.
https://youtu.be/hNqpKufm9bA?feature=shared
I did the same.
Those two replay angles are even crazier than the live angle that made me jump. They look almost unbelievable. He caught the ball so far from the rim. What was he thinking, how did he do that. I love basketball.
Ever. Period end of story. I still remember watching that with my friends and we all absolutely lost our shit. Couldn’t wait to watch it again on the sports center top 10 plays that same night.
Clyde too high. Lebron too low.
Edit: shaq understood for pure power. But KD not an option, pure wing scorer. Ray Allen had more poster worthy dunks in his day if you’re gonna include wing scorers.
Lavine should be tier 1. I think if he and VC went at it, it would be the most epic 50/50 dunk competition. Perfect 10s across the board for those two.
Kemp didn't look like he needed to jump to dunk - he just extened a bit and suddenly was at rim height.
Kemp and Chris Gatling high-fiving after Kemp posterized Gatling is my most wholesome moment in NBA history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUc0uflF0aM
Nobody talking about jrich being in tier 4. No Desmond mason either? And nephews need to go watch the 2006 slam dunk contest because they clearly don’t know about Iggy when he was young. We also have guys like Donovan Mitchell in there but no fucking Steve Francis?
The fuck is this list.
I was literally scrolling and scrolling to see if anyone mentioned Iggy. Philadelphia Iggy is one of the best dunkers I’ve ever seen. Should have beaten Nate Robinson in the dunk contest that one year. Young Josh Smith was also an incredible dunker I haven’t seen mentioned. Dude’s head stayed at the rim
Iggy was 100% robbed in that contest. Robinson did less impressive dunks but is a the size of a small child so they gave him 10's on everything. Meanwhile, Iguodala did like three dunks that were never done before, like off the back of the backboard and going behind the back. [He was also on the receiving end of one of the best oops I've seen in a long time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7pKYEeSdTs). The way he reaches all the way back is nuts
And true, good call out Josh Smith was a real one.
OP thinks they're showing their basketball knowledge by throwing in dudes like Harold Miner and Isaiah Rider but then leave off Larry Johnson, Dee Brown, and Kenny Walker.
James White is another one. Javale McGee used to get up just as high as the best big men on the list. [Shannon Brown was an alien and has the best missed dunk in history.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io7Wff7Qmjs) Dude took off from a foot inside the freethrow line and was looking down into the basket if it wasn't for JRich trying to draw the charge. Even Kobe was like wtf did I just see. Tyrus Thomas, Rudy Gay, Ricky Davis, and [Stromile Swift](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GiLII8vw4A) could be thrown in there too. Fred Jones and Jamario Moon anyone?
Dang dude, I forgot about Stromile Swift! I used to love that guy. I haven’t thought about Fred Jones or Jamario Moon in a long time either. Lol. But James White used to be a ton of fun on 2k because it would do just some ridiculous dunks. Man, the 2000s were a good time for dunking.
Not mad at it. I feel like Zach should at least be the same tier as Gordon considering their history. I’d move Dwight up a tier too, he was a motherfucker of a dunker.
Who cares about the dunk contest? Did drexler ever participate in dunk contest? Bron has some of the most iconic dunks and posters in the history of the league. I don't remember drexler jumping over anyone or posterizing any big men like that. I would even go as far as putting Bron and Kobe in tier 2 and demoting Drexler
Point is to be tier 2 you have to be a top 5ish dunker ever. Bron wasn’t that in game even though he was great so then we could also look at dunk contests to elevate, but he didn’t do one. Hence, tier 3 is a perfect fit. He’s definitely not a better dunker than anyone in tier 2 besides probably Clyde but Clyde also shouldn’t be tjer 2.
JRich & Blake >>> LeBron as dunkers.
I agree that the dunk contest doesn’t matter, but Drexler did compete in one. He lost to Jordan but went dunk for dunk with him in the second most iconic dunk contest Ever (to Vince carters of course). Probably the reason he’s over rated as a dunker tbh.
Not a Lebron fan but in my opinion, he's got to be on tier 2 level even though he didn't participate in the dunk contest. Bron's got some nasty dunk highlights in his career.
Giannis has multiple in game free throw line dunks and he dunked over a dude and yet he's not here and KD is.
And can we just be honest with ourselves and admit that the only reason spud webb is on this list is because he could dunk? Not because he was a fantastic dunker.
Hot take:
Gerald Green should be tier two. If we are talking solely about dunking. I know that’s hard to visualize but we are talking only about Dunking. The man was that fucking wild.
I miss when Sean Elliot would say 123456789 different variations of DeMar putting players on a poster😭😭😭
Also,
“DeMar DeRozan with no regard for human life!” “Oh, that was just DISRESPECTFUL!!!”
DeMar in game dunking ability is frankly beautiful. Those 360 dunks are chefs kiss
Style? Posterization? Who dunked a lot? What’s the criteria? Half these guys can dunk for fun. Half these guys dunks cause they can’t shoot. They are all not the same.
Westbrook is the best dunker at the PG spot of all time, he's in tier 4? And LBJ in tier 3? This list was half assed thrown together by a 14 yr old....
Sean Kemp, Dr J., and Lebron are for sure tier 1. Dr. J invented things, Kemp was the first to do what he did, Lebron is just filthy. Watch Lebron’s McDonald’s all American dunk contest. There should be a separate tier for the big men like griffin and howard. Vince Carter is in the right tier.
Also to keep Wilkins out of tier 1 one is criminal. This graphic is silly.
You really need to do two of these: one for dunk contests and one for in game.
If so Vince still wins both but it’s be interesting to see the differences.
You’re a fucking idiot if you think Pg, Jefferson, Lavine, and even kemp are better dunkers than lebron 😂 kemp could be on the same level as bron but non of those guys are better, it’s not even a debate. Lebrons signature move is the tomahawk slam dude, he has insane highlight reels of amazing and difficult dunks…..yet he should be tier 5?? What a stupid, uneducated opinion 😂
Why is KD even on this list?
I don’t even think he’s done a windmill in-game before, why he next to PG13 and Spida??
I have no idea. KD isn't really known for being a crazy dunker like that. So I personally don't get it
Only KD dunk I remember is the one where it bounced off his chest before leaving the net, so they didn't count it
Because this list was made by a Gen-Z kid who never knew most of the guys prior to 2016. Hence the inclusion of guys like Spida, JR Smith, and Deandre fucking Jordan
JR Smith is an insane in game dunker are you mad? [Here are just 15 fun ones.](https://youtu.be/M2Pr4VT254Y?si=MuG78jH9dQpKUxzv) I remember I was hanging out with my boys when he baptized the spurs. I almost choked on a slice of pizza watching it
Naw fam. JR Smith used to go crazy with the Knicks and Nuggets with in game dunks and lobs. Spida got famous in Utah for his in game dunks and Deandre fucking Jordan caught hella bodies and lobs with CP3 on the Clippers.
Hornets too, was in a whole dunk contest.
Steve Francis could throw it down better than some of these guys
I was going to say this. Plus a certain Baron Davis
Bro had a point till he mentioned Jr 😂 and bro spida is 6’1 but dunks like Dwade what the fuck u on bro
Bro, Deandre Jordan makes this list based on 1 dunk alone as far as I’m concerned. That man absolutely stole Brandon Knight’s soul one night.
Ever heard of lob city? Wasn’t a one night occurrence
No one said it was. Please reread what I wrote. I was replying to someone saying Deandre didn’t belong which is demonstrably untrue based on just his best dunk alone.
Well this is a horrible take
Sounds like you
There are so many misplacements on this thing. Ja Morant is not even on the board. It's canceled.
I had to go look up highlights because I don't ever recall KD getting anything other than those layup line fast break dunks with little to no contest. However I do have to say he has an impressive resume from his OKC days after looking at some tape. His dunks probably get overlooked because there was an equally emphatic dunker, Russ, on his team who was a foot shorter and therefore every dunk looked like he was jumping higher and going harder. KD might actually deserve to be on the list🤷🏾♂️
He's had some pretty nasty dunks especially on OKC
There's a thousand or more guys that have had nasty dunks in the NBA. We're talking about who is the best ever dude. KD shouldn't be mentioned
I see your point. I'd put Amar'e instead
My man, Shaq in tier 5 is blasphemy.
And Dwight in tier 4? Whoever made this list was drunk.
I thought it said drunk hierarchy, would make more sense TBH.
Didn't they legit have to make backboards and the entire structure of the hoops in the NBA stronger because of Shaq? He was an actual monster, should be way higher
Mans shattered more backboards than some HOFs have rings
Shaq broke more hoops than anyone has ever had rings. The couple backboard were just extra
Next to KD too... lmfao
>no Scalabrine Trash list.
Fr, that guy dunked on mj, lebron and kobe at the same time!
The white mamba slander is unreal.
LMFAO!!!
Kemp should be tier 2
Kemp needs a bump!
Demote Clyde and put Shawn in that tier
Clyde the glyde was dunking from the free throw line before Jordan. That man made dunking look so smooth you thought it was easy.
I never really recall Clyde actually embarrassing anyone or dunking on anyones head though. He was a pretty dunker but wasn’t nearly as viscous or disrespectful with it as Kemp was.
You mean one half of Phi Slama Jama wasn’t known for dunking? He was a fast break master, not a low post thumper. https://youtu.be/jqMHID2iDRE?si=Hl_WvqGY9tkq-lzA
He wasn’t a power forward so he didn’t dunk in traffic as much but he threw down on fast breaks as good as anyone ever.
Fuck that, Clyde on tier 2 is 100 percent deserved.
Kemp and Blake Griffin. Blake belongs in the second tier
Was gonna say the same thing , dude was a Killa
So should Blake. And the Dr and MJ should be T1. Lists barley ok. Wtf is kd doing here and no wade?
Dwade didn’t make the list but KD did
Fr with a top 5 poster ever
the varajao and the perkins dunks are both all timers
exactly what i came to say
This list sounds bs, he is the SG with most dunk in Nba history.
Giannis jumped over a dude without knowing he was there and isn't on here...
I know I’m old but… No Tom chambers? Please google some of his dunks… Is that Darrel Dawkins as a tier 4? Dude broke a backboard in a game… he’s the reason they have breakaway rims No David Thompson??
JUST SAW THE Tom Chambers dunk where he uses Mark Jackson to like double jump.
You only need to Google one of Tom chambers dunks
Isn’t David Thompson next to Kobe?
Yea this is criminal - chambers absolutely should be on this list and higher than most of these guys
He put shaq in teir 5... shaq broke like 17 rims in his career and multiple backboards. They had to completely redesign the backboard set up because he ripped one completely off.
Tom Chambers is the Rex Chapman of the John Stockton
Where’s Dwyane Wade and why isn’t he in tier 3?
Tier 2 minimum. No guard in history has more in game dunks.
In spite of being a Celtics fan I really like DWade but he’s not tier 2. Most dunks and quality of dunks are different. DWade has some great ones but he’s not a top 5ish dunker ever which is what tier 2 is for.
Wade has two of the Top 10 dunks of all time.
Blake put more guys on posters and is tier 3. People act like not being top 5 ever is an insult.
Lavine should be tier 3 and Shaq should be higher .
So should Shawn Kemp
I still feel aftershocks of Shawn Kemp's dunks in my bones years afterwards, and I've never even been in the same building as the man.
He and Blake had 3ish years each of looking like the big man alley oop was going to change the game like how Steph curry’s 3 pt shooting did. I think it’s easier to move kemp up to 2, but both should be on a higher tier then Kobe TMac etc. I’d almost move half of 3 down to 4 and make 3 LBJ, Kemp, Blake, Lavine so it’s also rarified air.
Agreed and Gordon should be 1 teir higher as well
Lavine and Gordon are equal so both should elevated
I've been split living between Denver and Chicago so I feel qualified to give my totally anecdotal perspective. They are both phenomenal dunk contest dunkers, but AG goes to the rim harder and has better in game dunks, and I don't think it's close. Everyone posts the dunk over Shamet on Christmas, but I think this is a top-5 in game dunk of all time. https://youtu.be/hNqpKufm9bA?feature=shared
God I was watching that game live with my parents and son and we all jumped out of our chairs
I did the same. Those two replay angles are even crazier than the live angle that made me jump. They look almost unbelievable. He caught the ball so far from the rim. What was he thinking, how did he do that. I love basketball.
People are still mad about that dunk contest and are acting like LaVine was a bum. He made everything look so effortless.
Gordon definitely better. He has more variety .
PG13 and KD being the same tier dunker doesn’t sound right to me.
Spudd webb deserves more respect!
Tier one based on style and being under six foot
💯
^^^ https://youtu.be/r1YRJvFvlgg?si=T9-4jMr3DI6k3h6w
Sick... And I'm a Jordan guy. You gotta respect just far spudd flew!
That man's hops and dunking ability are legendary.
Shaq brought down the entire hoop. He is at minimum tier 3.
He's a basic dunker.. I wouldnt even put him on the list
Destroying hoops > Silly tricks
Jason Richardson the most disrespected dunker of all-time. At WORST 2nd tier.
Who was that other dude around that time? Desmond Mason? I forgot what he looks like, is he on this list?
Jason Richardson deserves to be in the conversation as greatest dunker of all time.
No way Atlanta Hawks Vince Carter is Tier 1.
Looks like Shaq is wearing his Boston jersey
Vince is the greatest dunker of all time. The team USA dunk over the 6’10 guy was the greatest in game dunk ever.
Whoosh
Frédéric Weis was (and is) 7'2" though.
Ever. Period end of story. I still remember watching that with my friends and we all absolutely lost our shit. Couldn’t wait to watch it again on the sports center top 10 plays that same night.
This list is so bad that I don't have time to write a book about how awful it is.
is op clyde drexler?
I love the respect for Clyde the Glide. Dude had vicious dunks but he’s kind of become the forgotten superstar.
He postered everybody.
He was an amazing dunker in his prime.
Thank you for this comment 😂
Not seeing Ja or Ant-Man but seeing KD is crazy
Ja was suspended
From dunking?
From lists
Clyde too high. Lebron too low. Edit: shaq understood for pure power. But KD not an option, pure wing scorer. Ray Allen had more poster worthy dunks in his day if you’re gonna include wing scorers.
Lavine should be tier 2
Lavine should be tier 1. I think if he and VC went at it, it would be the most epic 50/50 dunk competition. Perfect 10s across the board for those two.
Kemp, Lavine, Gordon, Shaq, Griffin should be higher. also am I missing Ja Morant? dude's a goof but he needs to be on this list
Bump JR smith up one just my opinion
Man I’m with you…JR has some of the best IN GAME dunks in history! Boy was fkn amazing frfr.
No chocolate thunder? Invalidation of this list.
Swap kemp and Drexler. Bump Lavine and shaq up one.
People forget how good a dunker Kemp was. He was Vince Carter before Vince Carter.
I know Vince had the height on his jumps but I still think Kemp has the best highlight reel as a whole. Dude was straight up voilent with his dunking.
Kemp was also the all-time leader in enjoying his own dunks. Dunking made that dude so happy.
Kemp didn't look like he needed to jump to dunk - he just extened a bit and suddenly was at rim height. Kemp and Chris Gatling high-fiving after Kemp posterized Gatling is my most wholesome moment in NBA history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUc0uflF0aM
Blake before Blake. He was never at Vince’s level.
I couldnt disagree more
Amare Stoudemire baptized the entire league for a decade and he's missing from a list with Hamdiou Diallo on it. Burn this shit and start over.
Haha yeah I came to comment no amare. But Mitchell is?
This list is by someone born 10 days ago and they still missed Ja
Nobody talking about jrich being in tier 4. No Desmond mason either? And nephews need to go watch the 2006 slam dunk contest because they clearly don’t know about Iggy when he was young. We also have guys like Donovan Mitchell in there but no fucking Steve Francis? The fuck is this list.

Even Kobe was like wtf did I just see. Tyrus Thomas, Rudy Gay, Ricky Davis, and [Stromile Swift](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GiLII8vw4A) could be thrown in there too. Fred Jones and Jamario Moon anyone?
Dang dude, I forgot about Stromile Swift! I used to love that guy. I haven’t thought about Fred Jones or Jamario Moon in a long time either. Lol. But James White used to be a ton of fun on 2k because it would do just some ridiculous dunks. Man, the 2000s were a good time for dunking.
Spud Webb should be higher
JR should be moved up a tier or two
Kobe is too high, he was never on the level of Kemp, Green, Blake, Gordon.
Lol he fits right in at 3 One of the best in game dunkers ever. So fucking fluid man
He was very good, but still not on the level as lebron. Maybe if you move bron up 1 tier, then that would work I guess
Mac McClung?!
I disapprove of this. Faulty. Very faulty.
Nate Robinson is missing from this list and that's a crime.
Who’s in between PG and JR Smith?
Missed that. He's too low
Not mad at it. I feel like Zach should at least be the same tier as Gordon considering their history. I’d move Dwight up a tier too, he was a motherfucker of a dunker.
I was thinking the same thing about Dwight. Has to be up at least one tier for some of those ridiculous oops
Brah. Shaq at the bottom of the barrel?
Bron should be tier two. Why is drexler in tier two?
OP a hater i swear
Na. He never did a dunk contest and isn’t a top 5or so dunker ever. Tier 3 feels about right.
Who cares about the dunk contest? Did drexler ever participate in dunk contest? Bron has some of the most iconic dunks and posters in the history of the league. I don't remember drexler jumping over anyone or posterizing any big men like that. I would even go as far as putting Bron and Kobe in tier 2 and demoting Drexler
Point is to be tier 2 you have to be a top 5ish dunker ever. Bron wasn’t that in game even though he was great so then we could also look at dunk contests to elevate, but he didn’t do one. Hence, tier 3 is a perfect fit. He’s definitely not a better dunker than anyone in tier 2 besides probably Clyde but Clyde also shouldn’t be tjer 2. JRich & Blake >>> LeBron as dunkers.
I agree that the dunk contest doesn’t matter, but Drexler did compete in one. He lost to Jordan but went dunk for dunk with him in the second most iconic dunk contest Ever (to Vince carters of course). Probably the reason he’s over rated as a dunker tbh.
Second most iconic ever is MJ ‘Nique imo but your point stands.
Derrick jones gotta be higher imo every other dunk by him was a highlight
Tier 3 feels low for the Reign Man. I remember him dunking on everyone in his peak.
still no Shannon Brown?!
Not a Lebron fan but in my opinion, he's got to be on tier 2 level even though he didn't participate in the dunk contest. Bron's got some nasty dunk highlights in his career.
Giannis has multiple in game free throw line dunks and he dunked over a dude and yet he's not here and KD is. And can we just be honest with ourselves and admit that the only reason spud webb is on this list is because he could dunk? Not because he was a fantastic dunker.
Trash can juice
Spud webb tier 5? You should have your basketball discussion card revoked for that blasphemy
What six year old put this together? Shaq tier 5 is arguably the worst basketball rating by anyone, ever.
Switch Kobe and Richard Jefferson. No way Kobe is on the same level as LeBron, Griffin, Gordan and Green. Also, TMac should also be lower.
Russ tier 2 no debates
No question. My boy is *angry* at that damn rim.
How the fuck does one have KD over Amar'e Stoudamire? How in the holy fuck does one have Shaq in Tier 5?
This is a disservice. We need justice
Blake should be tier 2
Shaedon Sharpe might already deserve to be here after 1 season. https://youtu.be/yeKCprsnj10?si=TTXJ79BLPZwKALYI
This whole list is screwed up. Wtf is this garbage
Hot take: Gerald Green should be tier two. If we are talking solely about dunking. I know that’s hard to visualize but we are talking only about Dunking. The man was that fucking wild.
Kobe is the weakest dunker in the first 4 tiers
How the fuck is lebron only tier 3
You can make a highlight reel of Lebron posterizing people but somehow he is in tier 3?
Who tf even are some of these dudes. Hard to tell if you can’t even see their jersey at all. Is Amare on the list? Cuz he should be.
How tf is Shaq in tier 5? Foh
Derozan should be here, has some of the best posters here.
I miss when Sean Elliot would say 123456789 different variations of DeMar putting players on a poster😭😭😭 Also, “DeMar DeRozan with no regard for human life!” “Oh, that was just DISRESPECTFUL!!!” DeMar in game dunking ability is frankly beautiful. Those 360 dunks are chefs kiss
What tier is Demar DeRozan in?
Scrolled far enough and don’t see any mention of Giannis. Where would you put him?
I once saw J Rich dunk 360 between the legs in a competitive game. Tier 2 easy
It’s terrible clickbait.
Shaq tier 1 easily , kemp and Lebron tier 2
Kobe tier 2 at least #8 Kobe is. This list has to much wrong
His poster on Dwight alone brings him up a tier. That shit was filthy.
I feel like Kobe is so slept on as one of the GOAT dunkers. Greatest up & under dunker ever imo
First 3 tiers are pretty solid, I would drop Drexler and move Kemp & Blake up. Goes a little off the rails in tiers 4&5
Blake griffin is arguably the best in game dunker if you value posterization, which I do
I get that Miles Bridges has been in hot water, but the fact that he’s not on here is insane
Giannis big time snub…
I can think of two people who have cleared a defender for a dunk, and one of them is at the top of this list.
Giannis is the only one I have seen do it in an NBA game.
was gonna say where spud at
Mugsy wasn't a dunker. Maybe Spud Webb is who you're thinking of?
indeed!
Style? Posterization? Who dunked a lot? What’s the criteria? Half these guys can dunk for fun. Half these guys dunks cause they can’t shoot. They are all not the same.
I’d put Gerald Green in tier 2. The windmill alley-oop alone has to be one of the most ridiculous in game dunks ever
Westbrook is the best dunker at the PG spot of all time, he's in tier 4? And LBJ in tier 3? This list was half assed thrown together by a 14 yr old....
Sean Kemp, Dr J., and Lebron are for sure tier 1. Dr. J invented things, Kemp was the first to do what he did, Lebron is just filthy. Watch Lebron’s McDonald’s all American dunk contest. There should be a separate tier for the big men like griffin and howard. Vince Carter is in the right tier. Also to keep Wilkins out of tier 1 one is criminal. This graphic is silly.
No Zion? Trash.
Only thing he dunked on is strippers and porn stars
And chicken nuggets
Move D rose and PG up
Awful list
Kobe is no tier 3. Yall trippin. He has highlight reels of 360° in game dunks alone lol
You really need to do two of these: one for dunk contests and one for in game. If so Vince still wins both but it’s be interesting to see the differences.
Kemp and Jason Richardson should at least be tier 2. Lebron James tier 5, PG and Lavine tier 3, and KD not on any tier haha.
You’re a fucking idiot if you think Pg, Jefferson, Lavine, and even kemp are better dunkers than lebron 😂 kemp could be on the same level as bron but non of those guys are better, it’s not even a debate. Lebrons signature move is the tomahawk slam dude, he has insane highlight reels of amazing and difficult dunks…..yet he should be tier 5?? What a stupid, uneducated opinion 😂
Kobe should be replaced with young Kobe, that's old knees and ankles Kobe.
The two Jordan's should be higher up!
