    In the open court it's Chase, but some of the best poster dunks have been from Ariza.

    Jermaine Taylor...sorry, but, hands down! He's a rookie, which means he had little time on the court. That little time he had on the court, he had some of the sickest dunks! the best was the 'north on West' dunk, when we played the Cavs. Oooh Wee!!! :grin:

    I was at that game and that was the only highlight of the night because we got blown out. But it was a sick dunk, the whole arena was like OMFG!??!?!?!?!?!? :grin:

    JT.
    IMO, the best combination of power and elevation.
    He never plays though, so the chances to see him dunk aren't really there.

    I think Chase is the best at this point. Hands down...

    JT is fast, but Chase has some sick hops.

    Wrong, Chase Budinger is the black Stromile Swift. He's got to be the best dunker.

    Taylor's max vertical was measured at 37.5" while Chase's was 38.5", but Taylor's no-step vertical was 34.0" inches while Chase's was just 29.5". They also have an identical standing reach.

    So differences in jumping ability are negligible, if not slightly in Jermaine's favor because he jumps so much higher from a stand still.

    the better question to ask is, "who is the best at putting someone on a poster?" then you go with ariza.

    I dont think Chase dunks with any flair in his IN-GAME dunks. He started to turn it on later in the year with dunks off the dribble. Like his dunks on Casspi and Dejaun Blair.


    Ariza as uncoordinated as he is had the more wiry, twisty reverse type dunks in traffic.

    Here's an Ariza windmill
    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lgwr3TG715o&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lgwr3TG715o&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    Still have Ariza and Chase tied. Chase just has the great vertical where he doesnt need the flair, like Lebron.

    jermaine taylor by far. too bad he doesn't play enough for us to see them. i wouldn't mind sitting through pre game warmups if ariza, budinger, and taylor put on a dunk exhibition during warmups like how dwight, carter, and gortat :eek: does before the game starts.
