Vince is the best dunker ever. I don't know who's second, but he's not close to Vince.

Also - when is that picture from? Everyone in it is dressed horribly.
Throw-back picture.
 
If your dunks are iconic, how can you be replaced?

1. Dr. J
1. MJ
2. Nique
2. Vinsanity
3. Kobe
 
All of them except the Dr. have North Carolina ties: MJ and Vince were Heels of course, Dominique is from NC*, and Kobe was originally drafted by the Hornets.

*Dominique's HS team (Washington, NC) beat my HS for the state title back in 78 or 79.

When I used to follow NBA, Dr. J and the Sixers were my favorite team.

For gods sake mark. Do you have to show your Big Dick off everywhere?????
 
1) Vinsanity 2) The GOAT 3) Dr. J 4) Nique 5) Kobe
100% with the above!
Vince - 2000 Olympics over Frederick Weiss. Enough said
GOAT - well, just because.
DR J - from the FT line
Nique - second to the GOAT for all those years
Kobe - was good, but not enough to nudge out the others.

Vince and it’s not even close, then you can argue 2-4, Kobe is 5th.

But lord how i wish Georgia would have never visited Wilkins. Put him on the ‘81 and ‘82 teams and watch out. We probably go back to back if they can gel.

When you dunk over a 7 footer off of maybe 5 steps to build momentum, yeah you're gonna be at the top of that list. Some of the dunks Vince made in-game are hard to pull off with noone else on the court.

I have no clue what Georgia said to Wilkins to lure him away - especially from a basketball rich state only to reside in a basketball wasteland. GTech at the time was the ACC doormat and UGa was a perennial football school. A little before my time but I’v been told on several occasions that his family were run out of the state for not choosing a North Carolina school.

I’m not saying he was paid, but it’s a huge head scratcher why someone as gifted as him would go to a school who had NEVER made the NCAA tournament at the time.


All of that is accurate.


Imagine in ‘81 Jimmy Black, Al Wood, Dominique, Worthy and Perkins.

And then in ‘82 Jimmy Black, Jordan, Dominique, Worthy and Perkins.

We could have very well been looking at not only back to back National Titles, but back to back undefeated seasons.

Guess ol' Hugh Durham was mighty persuasive, hmm?

Best in game dunkers.

Vince then Wilkins because they gave you a dunk every game. MJ, kobe, and Doc could all fly, but they could score 40 and not give you a memorable highlight dunk that night. Vince and Nic give you 40 somebody got banged on that night.
