    He's capable of being a great dunker, but he just doesn't do it on consistent basis.

    K-Mart pretty much puts all his energy and enthusiasm in his dunks. I would say Amare is second on that list.

    And oh yah, the greatest big man dunker of all-time, IMHO, is undoubtedly Shawn "Reign man" Kemp. I hated Seattle because they used to have our number, but that dude reinvented the art of dunking as far as big men go.

    But alas, he is not playing anymore, he is history, he is a crackhead going down the path of self-destruction:rolleyes:

    ???

    In terms of style points, Stro's dunks tend to outclass just about any big man in the league.

    Are you judging this by who has the best dunks, or who dunks the most often?

    I have to go with Amare, but I wouldn't sleep on Samuel Dalembert. He's long and has some quick hops.

    If we're talking about who's the best dunker in terms of most unstoppable after they take off, I'd have to go with Garnett. He can sky. Amare's nice but he gets swatted quite a lot for a big man.

    Are you watching KMart dunk?

    That guy has the style all over his dunks - I think he take pride in them.

    My vote definitely goes to KMart as the fiercest big man dunker in the league - Amare is a close second.

    I think that's about right. Plus, K-Mart had a nasty dunk on Amare before.

    If Stromile weren't currently on the injured list for toe fungus, he might be in the running...

    I'll go with Stromile, just for the dunk he had against the Rockets. Amare is nice, but he always goes with one hand to dunk on somebody. Stromile went up with 2 hands and threw down...one of the most impressive dunks I've ever seen
