    I, for one, see this for what it is: a cleverly-disguised way of getting a thread about B. Diddy's monster slam in the GARM forum. Nice going, silentfan! ;)

    Are we talking about the same dunk? Baron dunked all over JO, one of the leagues premier shotblockers, that dunk was so nasty.

    too me, dunks that show grace and length of time in the air are the more spectacular dunks. They are just plain out more impressive. And steve is way better than davis in air time, and grace in his dunks. Power dunks are just too blah. Thats what centers do, and they try to make it more impressive by trying to hit the rim harder. There really isnt that much skill needed to power dunk. And francis has his share of dunks over multiple big men. Remeber steve's buzzer dunk against the lakers.

    Nah it was the one where Steve just flew through the lane dunk on him with ease then showboated after. I'm a look for a clip of it because I've seen it on the internet a while back.

    I wonder if getting injured at the end of the season before last while going up for a dunk made him decide to not dunk as much. Ever since the surgery because of that he hasn't been nearly as agressive when dunking.

    Francis dunks are nice, kinda Dominique-like in speed and vertical. I think Baron is better at dunking on people and his dunks are just funkier.

    Steve's vertical is around 43' or at best 44'.
