Your favourite/least favourite kind of dunk?

by **Pera** on Thu Apr 27, 2006 7:16 pm

I really like Shaq's monster dunks and I like every dunk with a lot of pover like Dwight Howard dunks etc.I hate those soft dunks with no pover.

yea it was something I have never seen in the NBA before and got a bit slept on. Top 5 dunk of the year material

love the 360 windmills, power dunks like reaching back ones and also windmills. dont like basic dunks like just putting the ball into the hoop

by **Fitzy** on Thu Apr 27, 2006 8:24 pm

my favourite dunk is the one i do at school, two hands jump and grab the ring

by **Fenix** on Thu Apr 27, 2006 8:26 pm

Like most of you, I like power dunks and I hate overreacting after dunks (a la Wade or making a big deal out of a regular dunk like K-Mart of Mourning do).

by **Cloudy** on Thu Apr 27, 2006 10:22 pm

I like Jordan dunks, the elevation is just spectacular.
Also like James Worthy type, easy two-handed but it's so classy.
Power dunkers like Dominique Wilkens is amazing to watch too.
I hate Nate Robinson dunks, but I like Spud Webb.

Kobe dunks aren't spectacular anymore... :cry:

Bad timing or Nash fan?

Anyway, I like the kind of dunks where you actually really feel sorry for the defenders standing around. Where you hope everyone stays healthy (even the dunker).

Did Josh Smith ever say why he put that piece of tape behind the free throw line during the Dunk Contest???

That killed his score, disappointed expectations after thinking "Wow, he's going from back there!"

by **Its_asdf** on Fri Apr 28, 2006 10:17 am

Yeah. Even though he had a major slam dunk contest flop, I still think he's an amazing dunker. He gets up really high, has long arms and throws it down with power. He's definitely one of the biggest reasons why the Hawks still even have fans.

Like: Windmills and posters.

Do not like: one handers, two handers, pump.

He did this during a charity or a community thing a couple of months ago with Alex English, I think. He jumped as high as he could, tapped the ball of the backboard and then dunked it.

Loving those pwerful dunk-ons and also those with good finesse.

Never liked those weak dunk on fast breaks.

by **spreeul8r** on Fri Apr 28, 2006 1:11 pm

LOL Daryl Dawkins was awesome (Y)

I like the "slam i am jam"

by **Axel** on Fri Apr 28, 2006 1:16 pm

I dont really have a preference, but I don't like dunks which are more stunts than sheer athletic ability. Amare's dunk last year in the slam dunk contest with Nash hitting it off his head was a stunt, and not really an athletic move. If I had to go with one, it would be someone like J-Rich who has amazing athletic ability.... he gets so much air on his jumps..

here's some dunks i thought were cool

http://youtube.com/watch?v=QaRMOTmPMgg& ... est%20dunk i dunno how that's only a 5 on the top 10, that was amazing
http://youtube.com/watch?v=p0RZSV2Cu38& ... est%20dunk i absolutely LOVE that kemp dunk vs golden state in 93, the kj over olajuwon, the pippen over ewing, the #2 dr j windmill is one of my favs, also i love for the number 1, "it don't count if you dunk it over a european, imma keep it real, i'm not gonna keep it real, im gonna keep it right. in the olympics it doesn't count, cuz you can do anything against those guys."

by **peaches** on Fri Apr 28, 2006 3:21 pm

Yeah, Rongotai's Amare owning Dallas clip is shitty.

This mix is pretty good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlVXj5FQ ... Stoudemire

The music is funny too. :lol:

I love all Amare's dunks, Desmond Mason and Jason Richardsons, Clyde Drexlers.

by **Laxation** on Fri Apr 28, 2006 3:31 pm

I love Howards dunks where he gets the alley, but it way behind his head, so he has to reach right back to slam it down... looks awesome :shock:

yeah agreed top 5 at least.

yeah but this was in a match, 1 or 2 games before the playoffs, i think i saw it on ESPN-NBA Action

by **arrell** on Fri Apr 28, 2006 7:56 pm

"Australian" dunks are funny. Whenever someone has a break, the crowd expects something flashy to happen, but all the player does is a two handed dunk.

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Fri Apr 28, 2006 8:15 pm

Either that or they barely touch the rim and the commentators make a huge fuss and call it a huge dunk.

by **Scotty** on Sat Apr 29, 2006 9:22 am

yeah NBL at it's finest :lol:

by **Bad Goodboy** on Sat Apr 29, 2006 4:34 pm

Favorite: Dunks on somebody with POWER and MIGHT like y'all said "In-Your-Face" are my choice dunks. Nasty, like Vince over Mt. Mutombo before, i like it when small players do it too..and Th'HumanHighlightFilm's slams from the late 80's = I think his dunks are worthy to be called 'Slam Dunks' coz he dunks like a man possessed, and feeling it (other notables: young Shaq, young Vince, Kemp).

Least Favorite: Dunks(one hand or two) from unpopular NBA players that look so freakin' weak!

by **Scotty** on Sat Apr 29, 2006 6:12 pm

i'm not really into the post up spin around 2 hand dunk, that shaq and Duncan etc. do (N)

I think it's just bad timing. :lol:

by **The_Flying_Tomato** on Sat Apr 29, 2006 6:13 pm

Just wondering, does anyone NOT like Kemp and/or Amare's dunking? I've seen at least 5 say they do.

Your favourite/least favourite kind of dunk?
