    I think the best dunk was Baron on AK47 but I did vote for Tmac.

    A feat of sheer athleticism, McGrady's dunk isn't the best one listed. But aesthetically, it wins.

    TMAC and Baron had the sickest ones IMO.

    I voted TMAC. Him sliding down the back of Bradley sold it for me.

    that was a reverse windmill :eek:

    If you told me he did that I wouldn't have believed it at first. It seems close to impossible especially when someone is guarding you

    Thats b.c there was no other wing to play with yao...at least a decent one.

    T-Mac was playing with Deke when it was just him.

    Agreed man, it was powerful but hardly over somebody, just a hard one hander really.

    His shooting % were subpar. Even AI did it better. Playing with the best center in the world didn't help the efficiency. People talked about TMac only had scrubs in Magic. But that's the only way he could be efficient. Everybody ran a screen for him and all the bigman parked outside, just like Cavs and Heat do today.

    yeah but 6th and 8th are basically just as impressive as 5th. It's an honor to still be considered for the award, he did his job right those years and got a little bit of recognition for it.

    I calls it as I sees it, and Baron's dunk was the nastiest and was on Kirilenko.

    Is one one of the best seasons ANYONE has ever had in Houston. Tmac was amazing that year. And it has now been confirmed that playoff series was tainted. If the refs are fair, we go onto the 2nd round and god knows how far with the way Tmac was playing in those playoffs. But yet, people will still say he sux because he never made it past the first round. :rolleyes:

    As Kenny smith said, statistics are one of the biggest lies you can get away with.

    Goodbug already pointed out, he was subpar % wise and he was innefficient unless he got his volume worth of shots, hence being a "Volume Shooter."

    Guys that can learn to play within the offense and create their own when that offense isn't working are great, like Kobe and maybe tmac that one year.

    I'll give you that that one season is top 5 in all time rockets, just off the top of my head.
