Sportscenter's Top 10 Dunkers of All Time

Seen on the 10:30am edition today:
10 - Darryl Dawkins
9 - Clyde Drexler
8 - Shawn Kemp
7 - Kobe Bryant
6 - Connie Hawkins
5 - David Thompson
4 - Vince Carter
3 - Dominique Wilkins
2 - Julius Erving
1 - Michael Jordan

What order should this have been in? I personally find Shawn Kemp to be underrated here.

Good to see CHOCOLATE THUNDER in the list! Should have been higher though: a real INNOVATOR of dunking!

I don't agree with Kobe being put infront of those three guys.
Does anyone think Jason Richardson belongs here - two-time dunk champ, one time robbed of title, not to mention the GAME dunks he's thrown down.

Why is Julius 2 and Drexler 9? they're basically the exact same dunkers.

Surprised not to see Josh Smith in there. And of course, J rich (but i think you needed some game to be in the top 10)

ELG 20+ points per for the last couple years isn't enough GAME to get j-rich in there?
And I think that Smith missed out coz he is a rookie!

Cmon J-Rich has game he averages what? 23ppg, 6boards and a couple of assists! Not bad for any SG he deserves a top 10 ranking.

Lebron would be close to getting on the list he can get his head to ring height.
Ron Haper was compared to Michael Jordan in the early 90's with out injuries he was a crazy athlete.
For a big man i'd throw in Amare just for pure power.
Washed up stars like J.R Rider and Harold Miner?
Desmond Mason has some style to go with his hops 2.

Theres so many more just thought i'd rattle off some of my fav dunkers.

This order looks much better to me...yeah..i know Vince is questionable to many of you at #1, but just think about it, he revolutionised the dunk by taking it to a completely new level. Only one guy prior to him has done that before imho, and that is Dr J. Thus they hold down the 1 and 2 positions.

10 - Kobe Bryant
9 - Clyde Drexler
8 - Darryl Dawkins
7 - David Thompson
6 - Connie Hawkins
5 - Shawn Kemp
4 - Dominique Wilkins
3 - Michael Jordan
2 - Julius Erving
1 - Vince Carter

Thanks mate i needed a laugh and you provided one jerk : )

Amare will be in that list soon. He's already got hundreds of hihglights and he's been in the league for 3 seasons.

Plus, game dunks are so much better than dunk comps.

give me Vince infront of Kobe anytime. that dunk over a 7'2 guy at the olympics was the crazyest thing ive ever see. especially when i rememeber how tall 6'10, 6'11 guys are. ( never seen 7+)
