    Vince Carter is the best in game dunker and dunk contest dunker. I'm always amazed that people try to make an argument saying he's not the best dunker.

    If Michael Jordan was putting down dunks like VC and if he jumped over a 7 footer in the olympics people definitely would say he is the undisputed best dunker. Hell some say he is now.

    Shawn Kemp is number 2

    Probably one of my all-time favorite dunks is Carter over Alonzo Mourning. He makes contact in mid-air and hang up in there for awhile, allowing Alonzo to come down, then throws it down, viciously. :eek:

    Why can't being the greatest just mean you did something better than anyone else? Vince took what Mj, Nique and DR. J and did it better. Also who cares about other players being more complete than Vince Carter, we're talking just about his dunking ability.

    How dare you question the greatness of VC.. Nobody dunks like him, he jumps and then decides what he does in the air. Nobody pulls out a random reverse windmill in traffic like he does, nobody double pump reverses in traffic like he does.

    Comparing Vince to Kobe Bryant in dunking is like comparing Michael Jordan to Clyde (no disrespect to the Glide whatsoever)

    and to OP, NEW AND IMPROVED VC top 100 dunks.

    God. Vince Carter was such a monster. Not only can he do all this in-game, in-traffic, he does it so damn beautifully. Sure, Nique/Kemp/Jordan/etc are history's top dunkers but Vince Carter just perfected the art of dunking. ROFL that guy is something though. "Never going to dunk again."

    Exactly, the guy is basically penalizing Vince for not starting his career back in the day before MJ,Nique, and Dr. J. If you look at a video of their dunks without
    knowing who they were the Vince Carter highlights would win hands down.

    Tracy McGrady and Steve Francis both put on a show in the dunk contest and they still were no where near close to winning that dunk contest.

    Without a doubt, the best dunker in the last decade and half. As for the Best Dunker of All Time.....I laugh at the lack of knowledge of basketball history. Dr. J and Dominique will have to slap your mother for raising such ignorance

    IMO, top 3 NBA dunkers of all time:

    1. Vince Carter
    2. Shawn Kemp
    3. Dominique Wilkins

    I disagree completely. Vince is the most complete dunker and the best dunker of all time.

    Maybe not the most influential but still the best
