    Those are some of the most boring, basic dunks ever, IMO. Of all of the high flyers listed, Lebron is the last one that I want to see compile a top ten list.

          What's so funny? I had Lebron on my list for high flyers. What did I put him, third? But if you think his dunks have "style" or "flare"...well, that's just further proof that it's in the eye of the beholder. Half of the dunks in the links you posted are just him going up with his hand straight in the air and dunking. The other ones are with him doing the same thing two handed. I could see if there were 360s and reverses and windmills(J-Rich and Vince have done all 3 combined into one dunk, lol), but come on, man. I mean come on.

            I will forever remember VC dunking on that massive French dude. That is one of my favorite dunks of all time, and earns him the top spot. I'm not well versed in terms of dunkers in the NBA, it's not really my thing, but Jordan is up there, along with some of the bigger power dunkers, like 'Chocolate Thunder'. Yeah, it was basically a two-hand throw-down, but DAMN.

              Bron cited his lack of creativity as the reason he's declined the dunk contest repeatedly. Even when he won the HS dunk contest, they were all pretty vanilla. Boy gets some air though...

                Exactly. Bron has a lot of athletic gifts, more than most in history, but grace and acrobatics aren't among them. I watched his HS Slam Dunk when it first came on. I was blown away that he had to move his head on the way down to avoid the backboard. But everyone watching was a little sad that Giddens had a foot injury, and couldn't be as creative as he wanted to be, because Bron's dunks were essentially just him jumping really high and dunking really hard.

                I have no idea what Kash is looking at.

                  Vince is at the top by himself, and it's not even close.

                    IMO Vince should be number 1 on any list involving jumping, dunking, style (while dunking), and/or creativity (while dunking).

To me its hard to differenciate the real dunkers and the flyers, to me flyers are guys who glide trough and then you have the power dunkers. my list according to their kind of dunks
                          Flyers

                          Richardson/wade
                          Vince
                          Finally some love for Iggy and people that agree w/ me that J-Rich should be on there.

                            1. Vince-- Clear cut
                            2. Jordan-- More variety than Wilkins
                            3. Wilkins-- Great two footed dunker with variations off two dunks
                            4. David Thompson-- It was highflyers was it not?
                            5. Spud Webb-- See #4.

                              Funny how you're the only person to see him do "every dunk" but yet even Cavs said his dunks are just basic dunks with him getting a fast start.

                                His dunks in traffic and in the half court set are nasty. Give me those any day of the week over J-Rich's breakaway dunks.
