    I would question Jason Williams, now playing backup for the Magic. I'm almost positive he could in his "White Chocolate" heyday, but since he voluntarily sat out a season I would assume his legs are shot.

    We're not talking about if a player can dunk every single year he's in the NBA. Just at any point in their career.

    And the answer is pretty much yes for every professional NBA player, in the practice gym.

    That reminds me...

    I was playing 2k10 with a friend. I was the Magic and he was the Rockets. Chuck has the ball baseline going against Dwight. He makes a move and dunks over Gortat and Dwight. The craziest thing i have seen on 2k in a very very very long time.

    Well he didnt dunk over Dwight but he was very close and could/should have stuffed him. He definitely went over Gortat.

    I don't read it as that broadly defined, but okay.

    In that case, I'm looking at you, Bob Cousy.

    Right, I believe it.

    I said seeing Muggsy dunk. OP claims he saw him dunk. I'm saying for accuracy sake I don't know about that maybe his eyes deceived him cuz he never did it in an NBA game, and there's no video we know of with the other ones. And he got Earl Boykins and TJ Ford confused so perhaps it was another player he's thinking about.

    Still a good fun topic though

    Steve Novak. JJ Redick.

    I don't think either of them can dunk.

    You don't think a 6'10" NBA player can dunk? Seriously?

    Is it really that hard to type "sun yue dunk" into Youtube search?

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Dsc7_UQPoAI&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Dsc7_UQPoAI&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    Again...6'9" and 6'10" NBA players can dunk. Most of them with extreme ease. They aren't the players in question here.

    yep I dont know why people think players over 6'0 cant dunk, If they dont do it normally in a game, its their style.
    If they over and 6'0 and cant jump to dunk it, they shouldnt be in the nba.
