    I remember him dunking on Chris Dudley good. Its at the 1:35 mark
    Some more of his Rockets dunks in the clip too
    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yo4PY_FVK7A&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yo4PY_FVK7A&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    That angle is too close, the regular distant game view it looked better. It didnt capture the actual dagger moment of the game either. Was vintage Clyde 1 step in the paint and soar to the rim, and for whatever reason 7 foot Dudley wanted to enter himself into a poster

    In the 80's- The Dream
    In the 90's- Horry and Drexler
    2000 and up - Francis and Tmac ( the dunk over Bradley is sick )

    the Tmac Attack, no question. Glide a close second, followed by SF3.

    Most of you are too young to remember a player by the name of Moses Malone. I think he may well have invented the power dunk. Come to think of it, Elvin Hayes wasn't bad either.

    Francis is one of my fave Rockets and he had some serious ups but I have to go with the Glide. Drexler looked like a plane zooming down the runway preparing to take off and ya know he coming down HARD. The man truly sailed through the air.

    As far as actual dunks in a Rockets uniform it's Francis in a walk. Clyde is a HOF but his athleticism was a little dimished by the time he came back to Houston. McGrady just does have the body of work in a Rockets uni to be considered.

    I'll vote Francis. Dream and Clyde are not far behind. Don't forget Elvin. And, hey, Wafer threw down some wild stuff last season.
