Lebron gets higher and jumps from further away from anyone in the league right now. His dunks are boring, but this thread isn't about dunks, it's about flying high. Lebron does this as good or better than anyone.

Re: Top 5 Highflyers of All-Time
Some how, some way, every thread is about Lebron.
IMO "Highflyer" encompasses everything from jumping high, to flair, to style, etc.Originally posted by Edmund BurkeAll that is needed for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.Comment

Re: Top 5 Highflyers of All-Time
Exactly. Although not in my top five of all time, he is in the top three currently in the league for getting above the rim.Comment

Re: Top 5 Highflyers of All-Time
They're just basic dunks though. Nothing special about them lol. Only difference is he just throws it down harder than everybody else.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.
When it comes to Top dunkers of all time, he shouldn't even be mentioned with those other dunking greats. Hell, Dwight Howard is a 2 time Slam Dunk Contest Finalist, but I wouldn't even put him in the top 10 as far as Dunkers of all time.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: Top 5 Highflyers of All-Time
He ocasionally shows off with some through the legs, off the backboard stuff during a pre-game here and there, especially in NY...but yeah, Brons drives are more about power than hangtime.They're just basic dunks though. Nothing special about them lol. Only difference is he just throws it down harder than everybody else.

Every once and awhile he'll fly in from so far on the break tho...

Re: Top 5 Highflyers of All-Time
Did LeBron even do a two handed dunk his first three years in the league? Seemed like every damn dunk was that one-handed, kinda to the side, tomahawk."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: Top 5 Highflyers of All-Time
Sorry, man. I always thought Clyde was a really, really boring dunker too. He got up high, and had some grace when he was far away, but he's not even on my list of guys I'd like to watch a top ten of. In contrast, watching Vince's top 100 was awesome from start to finish.
It's all subjective. Love the Lister Blister though.Comment

Re: Top 5 Highflyers of All-Time
I think w\ Drexler, its more about the grace....dude just has a smoothness....
that #1 dunk is sickComment

Re: Top 5 Highflyers of All-Time
exactly, he wasn't the flashiest dunker but the guy just glided in the air. It's just a beautiful thing to watch. I based my choices on "high flyers" not the best dunkersComment

Re: Top 5 Highflyers of All-Time
1. Vincanity.
2. Dominique.
3. MJ
4. Kemp.
5. Dunno... Me on a trampoline?
As far as Lebron is concerned.. He doesnt seem to have any hang time. Even on fast breaks he jumps about 8 feet away and it looks like he starts coming down as soon as he hits the peak of his jump. Not nearly the hangtime of MJ or Vince.Comment
