    Ice Man had the best finger rolls of all time, but that one - ONE - layup by Dr. J is legendary as well. Jordan's looks nice in slow motion.

    I would also like to add this one. I think this one is a top 3. The hang time is amazing.

    The Iceman was the king of the finger roll.

    Jordan's famous switching hands lay-up is sick although completely unnecessary in hindsight since Perkins didn't even attempt to block the shot.

    Dr. J's reverse was amazing and defenders were actually trying to block it. Gotta go with Dr. J on this one.

    I'd like to add Parker's ability to make layups from five feet away on either side if the rim, plus his killer tear drop in the middle of the lane.

    there is this one reverse by tmac that doesn't have as much hang time as the others but is so smooth and difficult from the angle: watch it in the slow mo replays.

    Before this thread is over Kyrie Irving will take the top spot. Mark my words.

    I agree with Iverson. He was so small but managed to score in the paint on a regular basis.
