    Sorry if it's already been mentioned...

    Just happened to flip through the channels and caught this show on Espn2. It's called 'Who's Number 1'. This episode they rank the dunkers. T-Mac came in 12th. They mentioned his off the backboard pass to himself in the all-star game. They also showed one dunk when he was in high-school. As skinny as he is now, he was much skinnier in HS if you could believe it! Nice dunk they showed anyways.

    BTW, Wade was 14th, Larry Nance (Cleveland Cavs represent!) at 13.

    Damn I really wanna see this now.

    YouTube anyone ;)

    12 is pretty respectable for all-time. No one does it like Mac when it comes to ingame off the glass through traffic. That's just sick.

    I swear he can still do it. He is a pansy. He wants to save his energy for stupid things like playing defense :rolleyes:

    It's still on if you guys want to catch it. I'm watching Family Guy now. ;)

    The only thing I don't like about all these 'greatest of all time shows' is it's usually heavily weighted towards more recent players. I think T-Mac deserves his spot, Wade I'm not so sure about.

    show is still going, glad i tuned in right when they started tmac's segment.

    tmac at number 12 is about right...though that dunk on bradley ought to put him in the top 5 easy :D

    #1 has to be Vince Carter.

    I agree with Macfan, btw. I think Tmac can still throw it down like he used to but why waste the energy and risk aggravating the back?

    I thought it was going to be a given that Jordan will be #1? Still watching Family Guy, someone let me know who it is.

    Francis was 20th, Jordan at 1...and I can't believe Amare got included in the top 20.

    Yeah, he was #6.
    IMO, the #1 should have been Vince Carter.
