    I loved that Horry dunk back in the day. I know that the basket was waived off, but that was too freaking awesome! Shank the dunk, don't give up, reach out and take it home! Man, those were the days!

    I like this none obvious answer ;) One of my favorite dunks of all-time was Buck Johnson dunking over Patrick Ewing. Sick one handed tomahawk dunk. Having said that, I remember thinking Horry would end up being Buck Johnson 2.0 on draft night... thank god we passed up on Baby Jordan :) I think an underrated dunker was Larry Smith. Dude could foul, rebound, and dunk like his life depended on it.

    I say Clyde Drexler. Although his time with Houston was short, he had some spectacular dunks. I'll especially never forget the slam he had over Sean Elliot in the WCF on the way to an NBA championship, he literally jumped over him. I made this youtube clip a few years ago of the slam.

    Drexler was the best if you count his time in Portland. If not, then I'd give the nod to Francis.

    That was like something off of NBA Homecourt the game (w/Carmelo Anthony) on the cover.

    Just a question would the double dunk be legal in the Slam dunk contest, I've just wanted someone to always try it. :D

    Freight Train...Rodney McCray. Nothing fancy...just rips the rim.

    Honorable mention...."Dream" when he dunked and kicked dude (I forget who it was) in the face with his size "giant" shoe.

    Kenny Smith was good in the dunk contest. I prefer Horry's dunks early in his career for in game dunks.

    Stevie Franchise, no questions asked.

    This dunk makes me wonder if he still has it.

    Dear God that is filthy...


    Steve and it is not close.

    Stromile blows, but he might be one of the best dunkers to ever grace a basketball court...

    Stromile Swift probably had the most eye catching dunks if we are all honest.
    I remember some nice power dunks by Thorpe, Elie, Horry, Cato.
