Was this man.....His name is Ollie Taylor, 6:2 Guard from NYC. Played at The University of Houston in the late 60's and later played for the Nets of the ABA. In '74 he was on the Nets team that included Dr.J and Larry Kenon. I went to alot of their home games and the highlight was always the pre-game warm-ups where Dr.J, Dr.K(As Kenon insisted he be called) and Ollie would have their own little Slam Dunk Contests. Ollie was a fan favorite and never disappointed.....unfortunately he only got to go head to head the Doc for part of the season as he was cut and never re-surfaced with any other teams.Who is your favorite dunk artist???

    The best? hard to say but this dude certainly shook UCLA in the finals with his dunks. Favorite dunk nickname ever (the era was so Parliament/Funkadelic influenced). Solid pro career that no one knows about because he played in Utah. Ladies and gentlemen, the pride of the Louisville Cardinals......... DOCTOR DUNKENSTEIN...........Darrell Griffiths.

    Dude, thats my man.

    CHOCOLATE THUNDER

    For me though, maybe Jordan. He would just be straight up sideways in the air. Or Dominique, so smooth. Tough call really...

    Jordan.

    Even with today's insane dunks, people still can't test M.J.'s Dunking Gangster. Sorrry Josh Smith.

    A.I. Pt. 2 did drop perhaps the craziest dunk ever last night. Too bad he didn't save it until the final round.

    Maaaan... now THAT is some . Always glad to see somebody on here who goes back further than me and can school me on some schitt. I was lucky enough to catch some of the Nets ABA games on channel 9 (or was that channel 11?) back when they were winning titles with Doc. Unfortunately I was too young to really appreciate it, but as they say, "if you didn't see Doc in the ABA then you really didn't see Doc". I'm proud to say that I SAW Doc.

    But back to the issue at hand... I really think the best dunker of all time is that bitch-ass Vince Carter. Dude has a little something extra about his dunks, and I don't think he even tries real hard half the time. If he went at it like somebody like Dominique I don't think there'd be any question that he's the baddest dunker ever. But as bitchy and half hearted as he appears to be about slammin' on fools, I can understand why dudes would balk at the notion of him being #1. Still, leaping clean over that 7 foot french dude in the Olympics...

    Not for style, but pure power you get Barkely in his prime:

    For style you get Drexler with that one handed shit:

    Yeah man, so many good dudes listed in here. Seeing those Dominique and Shawn Kemp pics brought back some memories. That was prime time for me, but I have to agree with Phill, if you were to put all of those dudes in one room in their prime, I think it's safe to say Vince would house shit.

    And for the home team:

    True. Vince's dunks at UNC were incredible!!!!!!!! It almost seems like he "toned" down his dunk game a little since his college and early pro career. Dominique would get second and MJ would be third on my list.

    vince needs to do another dunk contest if he wants to reclaim his title as the GOAT.

    where's that 720?
