I still think the best dunker was James Worthy. Didn't put any flair, acrobatics, swagger or *anything* into it; it was just a straight-arm BAM. Firm, authoritative, no need for showmanship—man just had a job to do and did it with Borg-like efficiency.

Counterpoint: Vince Carter’s dunk on Fredric Weis in the 2000 Olympics https://youtu.be/WihbbVEmppI?feature=shared

I want to emphasize that Weis is 7’2”

People in replies and quote tweets keep posting videos of better dunks. Trailblazers keep getting dunked on.

just-gut.bsky.social•24 days ago

Can't be the greatest simply based on the fact that the dunker fell at the end. Part of being the greatest dunk of all time is you land on your feet so that you can tower over whoever you just destroyed in front of the whole world.

[Vince Carter has joined the chat. With emphasis.]

Ok but what about Vince Carter in the 2000 Olympics https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WihbbVEmppI

jefflittle76.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yeah hard to say this one can ever be beat. This is the Whitney Houston National Anthem of dunks

buckrawheat.bsky.social•24 days ago

The dunk of death remains undefeated.

amyhoy.bsky.social•24 days ago

did the announcer devolve into random noises or are those highly specific sports terms i don't know, that he gasps out right after?

jonysake6.bsky.social•24 days ago

Was searching for a catchphrase in real time.

nameshiv.bsky.social•24 days ago

watching a man die on live Tv does things to you

amyhoy.bsky.social•24 days ago

in this case, it sounds like it does a stroke to you lmao

Dudley has a similar expression as Robin Ventura, when he charged the mound against Nolan Ryan and almost immediately thought "I am making an enormous mistake"

This is reinforcing my hot take that the Slam Dunk Contest should be converted to a trophy for the All-Star game.

Like, cycling your colored jersey style alternate objectives.

Did he dunk it so hard that the ball ricocheted off his own face? Is that what I’m looking at here?

cmraman.geek.org•24 days ago

Yep

erin-p.bsky.social•24 days ago

Well, dang!

nameshiv.bsky.social•24 days ago

There's parts of that court that still are more Jason Terry than wood

robertus.bsky.social•24 days ago

If we are including the international game, I humbly submit this gem from the 2000 Olympics. Frederic Weis, the gentleman briefly in Vince Carter's way, is 7'2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN_ZEFcFKkk

honestly this is deandre jordan erasure

Much better landing too, LeBron didn't fall down, he landed like a titan astride the world he had conquered.

eyepatchguy.bsky.social•24 days ago

And then walked away expressionless like nothing had happened, which is the coolest possible thing to do

hamiltwan.bsky.social•24 days ago

I assume it has just occurred to him that he might go to jail for murdering Jason Terry on national television.

eyepatchguy.bsky.social•24 days ago

I genuinely think nobody since Jordan has been as cold-bloodedly vindictive as Bron. That one Cleveland series against Toronto it genuinely felt like the raptors had murdered his dog or something

eyepatchguy.bsky.social•24 days ago

This one is still my favorite

andrew-weldon.design•24 days ago

Man, the teamwork to set that up is *spectacular*

Out of respect for jason terry they should leave a permanent chalk outline of his body on that court

priznat.bsky.social•24 days ago

filthymcnasty.bsky.social•24 days ago

I don't know, that dunk has to duke it out with Deandre Jordan committing this war crime on Brandon Knight (and the disrespectful stepover afterwards): https://tenor.com/view/brandon-knight-deandre-jordan-gif-20399303
