Who would win in a dunk contest between current rockets players I am talking about a dunk contest scenario with 3 completed dunks each and the players are obviously in thier physical prime Tmac - we have all seen him dunk http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=ALfrkjahY-U Brent Barry - the only dunk contest winner http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=IiXVIFuQnQM Wafer - Came second to Lebron and I think has the best dunks out of everyone http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=6ht4XIWoyIo Dorsey - Power dunker and we have all seen his windmills Landry - probably the weakest dunker out of all the contestants If we include ex rockets, the ex rockets will probably take it. Notables are Steve Francis - Either him or Clyde wins this one Clyde - See above Swift Weatherspoon yes him - http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=D6AsWmCJxjQ - not too bad Kenny SMith note, I am talking about players in thier prime
I remember Von Wafer in the High School All American slam dunk contest a few years back he lost to Lebron James back then.
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? DD
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 <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1mSSARkw3wA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1mSSARkw3wA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
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!

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