I agree with MEDIC.
VC and Keon first. Few other good dunkers.
Don't forget Joey Graham. In one specific season, he did many of the top ten best dunks in Raptors season.

About Bargnani: he did some great driving dunks. It's a little bit frustrating to see almost only jump shot when we know he is able to score in another way
"But the thing is, maybe I do want to wake up one morning and say, `Baby, let's go to the Bahamas. Today.' That costs money. So what if I want to do that?

I'm surprised VC, Tmac and Keon aren't running away with this poll.

1) Vince

2) T-Mac

3) Ross - More fluid than DD in the air.

4) Derozan (mostly off of dunk comp stuff like "showtstopper"

5) Weems

6) Moon - He jumped over players/refs but when we had him he was a bit older

7) Clark - His cram on Bradley was nasty

8) Pops

9) Ed

10) Amir

I don't remember any DD's in-game dunks other than that Bobcats one a year or two ago.

Yeah, me neither.

Ross has had some absolutely sick dunks this year - he's clearly got that sort of natural, aesthetically pleasing body control that Vince and Griffin have and guys like DeMar and LeBron lack. (As someone mentioned, both DeMar and Lebron seem to time their dunks oddly - they're always dunking with the body straight up and the rim directly over their head. Dunks almost always look better when players are in front of the rim and leaning into it.)

Anyways, if Ross can put on some man-weight and start throwing down a few with contact, he could definitely become the best Raptor dunker......after Vince, of course. He doesn't have a chance to beat VC. ;)

Nope, VC FTW!

But Ross definitely can be the 2nd greatest, passing guys like T-Mac, Fred Jones (remember him?), Joey Graham and Moon...

It's such a drag there aren't good youtube clips available of some of Keon Clark's crazy dunks. He was so vertically explosive it was ridiculous, and he loved to finish with power that seemed to come out of nowhere because he was so absurdly skinny. I mean his legs were truly sticks but he would shoot up like he had rockets in his shoes. Can't find any clips but that one grainy one though. If anyone could find some good ones that would be great...

I still remember him dunking on like 3 Knick (Camby in there somewhere) towards the end of that playoffs series.
He also had many, I mean MANY blocks that makes Larry Sanders look like a baby...
Too bad he had never played a minute of NBA game sober... :lol:

Where is Pop Mensah Bonsouh in this thread? :-)

VC - TMAC and Keon Clark.

People voting for Ross over TMAC better be under 15!
