    I think the answer is yes, I have seen Mugsy Bogues dunk and here is evidence of Earl Boykins dunking. JJ Barea would be the biggest question mark, but I bet he can

    I would think Steve Nash or Steven Blake wouldn't be able to get up. I know Tony Parker can barely slam one down.

    I just knew I've never seen it, though haven't watched many games. Nothing popped up in a quick search for me.

    You would need to show some video evidence for me to believe that Travis Diener is capable of dunking a basketball.

    Most guys can probably dunk in a gym with no defenders. Dunking in a game is a different matter. There was a story a while back about Eric Snow and Damon Jones betting who could dunk in a game first, neither could before they retired.

    Here's my guesses on which guys might not be able to dunk in a gym:
    Brevin Knight
    JJ Barea
    Tyronn Lue

    If you paid attention to the link I posted, you would find out you are wrong.

    What sbyang said.

    If you're talking about dunking at practice with no one around, I would guess that pretty much every player can.
