Rockets Dunk Contest - Who reigns supreme?

Wafer, though i'd like to see what Dorsey has to offer in the creativity dept.

 

I remember Von Wafer in the High School All American slam dunk contest a few years back he lost to Lebron James back then.

 

If you are talking about primes then McGrady wins this easily.

 

Luther Head

 

I think I heard Morey say that Wafer was the best athlete tested with the highest vertical during his draft class.

Anyone know his vertical?

I also heard Vince say Tracy was a better dunker then him

T-mac hands down in this comp

 

tmac in his prime had a 41 inch vertical, not to mention 6'8 and long arms, in his prime he could do dunks those mentioned can only dream about doing if im not mistaken this was last year

No one was a better dunker than VC. Clyde had some crazy hops. I would take francis or drexler over Tmac.

 

Wafer's dunks didn't have a clean finish. It looked like he was struggling to pull off his dunks. When he landed he was always teetering on falling down.

McGrady's dunks had a more fluid motion. Even the Rockets one in the clip above looked so easy. I think thats the problem when he dunks or just plays well. He makes it look too easy.

You guys are serious?

In their prime.. Wafer over TMAC? Seriously?


In their prime... TMAC would embarrass Wafer in a dunk contest... even now if TMAC ever gets healthy again - i'll choose him over anyone else.


Dorsey and Landry should be good.. .both power dunkers!

+1. These are some serious T-Mac haters.

 

he said Dunk contest not Dumb contest.

 

With players in their prime....T-MAC wins.

But then again Barry owns the hardware.....???

Hard to argue with reality...but then again he is white.

 

Hey Von, Say hello to Kirk Snyder

Luis Scola!!

 

Well since Steve Francis came in second in one of the best dink contests of all time...even beaing out tmac in that same dunk contest, I will say Steve Francis. He looked as if he were flying. Tmac just looks like a jumping twisler when he dunks imo

 

If we are talking about "in their primes" then this list is only two people

Clyde and Tmac

no one else needs to be mention. Though Barry is the only guy to win it i think he won it in a "down" year a prime barry probably wouldnt win in any of the more recent dunk contests I would put barry in the top 3 winners that shouldn't have one (the other two being nate robinson and fred jones)



that would be interesting to see i think clyde would win though he would be more up for it. clyde went against jordan and dominique.

i remember the 2000 dunk contest where carter had to persuade mcgrady to do the contest with him. tmac did a pretty good job at it too if i remember right.
