the vince carter dunk from the olympics is the goat. you can't really compare dunks that are on people v. dunks that are in fast breaks.
if there were a separate category for dunks that actually meant something to an important game, i'd go with the doctor j dunk or the starks over jordan.
there is a dunk where jordan goes right on top of rex chapman that is pretty good.
actually, i think its jordan over kelly trepuka (sp?)...its definitely against the hornets

Hell no the Vince Carter Olympic dunk ain't the GOAT. That's not even his best personal dunk. But the knock against it is really that since then, and possibly even before it, we've seen that same jumping-over-someone dunk done by others.
Ain't nobody ever dunked with the style that Dr. J displayed on his most famous.
That Dr J dunk is probably tops on my list. Just because he makes he play first and then finishes with such style. Doc was the perfect blend of style and athletic ability.
I couldn't find the dunk by David Thompson over Wes Unseld. Dude's knees were up around his head, went right over the top of him. Here's some DT eye candy.
How about greatest passes? #3 on this Maravich reel is a mind blower.
Oh man. I remember playing a pickup game one time with the proverbial 40-year-old gym rat with the rec specs and high socks who sons everybody...dude had that pass down pat. Like, he was super-accurate with it. It was pretty amazing.

Get that Bob Cousy bullshit outta this Darryl Dawkins thread.

NOBODY!
this is turning into a spiderman v. superman debate, but the dr. j dunk is cool because of the cradle move he does while still on the ground. vince carter literally jumped over a 7 footer which is more impressive for obvious reasons. if someone at the nba or olympic level has done a more impressive dunk, i have yet to see it.
You see dunks like that every day in the league right now.
The Olympic dunk is def one of the best. But it's too damn clean. I need bodies rolling on the floor after the dunk. Like the Kobe one at UNLV or Kemp down the lane.
I like how Rodman sorta pretends he didn't get embarassed here with the rainman's balls in face. on some "all good; nice dunk" shit when clearly he got owned.

For my money, this has always been it.
Another vote here for the GOAT dunk. It just doesn't get any better than this.
I'm scared of that dude.
Agreed. No question whatsoever. Forever and ever.

no one's ever named a pass the 'turbo sexaphonic delight'.
