    Nate didn't rob anybody, It was Kenny Smith's doing, when he waited for everybody else to put up their scores before he put up his so Iggy and Nate could have a dunk off. Kenny ruined that years dunk contest foe sure.

    yeah i was thinking that would probably make my list. not only do you have to jump that high and concentrate on making the dunk, but you have to position your head pretty well to blow out the candle without smacking into the rim or the backboard, which would make you look pretty foolish. he also did a "no shoes" between the leg dunk that was really cool but that didn't get enough respect either.

    i don't think it makes my top 10, but jr smith going behind the back on a dunk was pretty cool and i don't think i've seen it done before or since.

    and yeah, james white between the legs from the free throw line is the best dunk contest dunk i've ever seen. he actually almost makes it look so easy that it doesn't seem that impressive until you really think about how crazy it is.

    Iguodala's behind the back dunk makes the list, but J.R. Smith's behind the back dunk from the previous year (the first ever in the contest) doesn't?

    Go to 4:40 of this video... it's a dunk contest video where he does two handed jams, windmills, and between the legs from the free throw line or about half-a-foot in front of the line.
