Wow, the hate is strong in this one

I think the behind-the-back reverse dunk is the one I will most associate with Kobe.

[CallOfKtulu]

The baseline reverse.

[oldschooled]

His signature move however is jumping up and down complaining at the refs for a foul. I wish his signature move was run back on defense and help your team instead.

This is Kobe we are talking...not Lebron.

[N8N]

He is known for his reverse dunk.

They both do it but Kobe is GOAT when it comes to complaining to refs and ignoring the game continuing. Kobe has all out tantrums, Lebron might get there though.

[Im So NBAd out]

Whilst a bunch of videos are posted the answer is still no. He doesn't have a signature dunk. He doesn't need to have one either.

They both do it differently though. Kobe complains looking pissed off like he's about to kill someone. Lebron complains looking like he's about to cry.

On a related note, I can't believe Kobe won a dunk contest by simply making duck faces (referred to then as "swagger").

Was the competition that bad at the time?

Bobby sura was awful. Ray allen, kobe bryant and michael finley were average i guess. Darvin ham got robbed, he had the best dunk in the competition, he just didn't sell it. I personally preferred chris carr's style over kobe's but people were crazy about the "east bay funk" at the time so... good for kobe.

As far as a signature dunk, it has to be the baseline reverse.

[TheOGJabroni]

Can Kobe still dunk?

[BIG_controversy]

His signature dunk to me is his dunk against Sprewell & the commentary "w/ no regard for human life" that accompanied the dunk lol

His dunks from 02-08 were on par w/ MJ, Vince & Doc

[ayreezy]

[BIG_controversy]

Kobe's hangtime in his prime was so mean...just think he was 34 and still giving dunk of the year type plays 2 yrs ago when he was 16 yrs in, it's unbelievable

[Slava]

The baseline reverse, he had to be inventive on a lot of stuff once got in the restricted area because Shaq was parked in the paint most of the time. I've only seen probably McGrady do it other than Kobe.

[PKABOOICU]

the 360...he used to do that all the time when he was younger

+1 on the reverse dunk. When I think of Kobe dunking, i think of the reverse.

Two posters trying way, way too hard.

Not that it really matters one way or the other, but of course Kobe has a signature dunk. As others have pointed out already, its the baseline reverse/windmill that he used to break out with regularity in his younger days. Much like Dominique's windmill or the Air Jordan pose, other players have tried vaguely similar things, but nobodies done it with the style Kobe had.

[Jedi32]

I would think the 360 also, but how lame is the kobe hating getting when we have weak troll attempts like this? Sad how people are forgetting or acting like they're forgetting how good the guy was.

[lakerz12]

That is his go-to dunk. He admittedly doesn't have hands quite big enough to palm the ball during dunks so has to cup it in his wrist like that.

Whether that would be his "signature" dunk, probably not since others have said his 360 and reverse and the dunks over people are more impressive.

[Louie_Ruckuz]

jordan has his logo
shaq has the kick ya legs out dunk
lebron has the one handed dunk where he cocks the ball all the way back
hell even clyde drexler and nique have their own dunks
COME TO THINK ABOUT DOES KOBE EVEN HAVE ANY SIGNATURE MOVES????

You must be young to be asking this question, Kobe was/is one of the best in game dunkers and has various dunks but the one that stands out are the 3 that were posted above.

[TheDoors24]

When he had the mini fro i always thought his sig dunk was the one handed 360. Look it up on youtube and he has a bunch of those from back in the day.

Then as he got a bit older he switched it to the two handed 360 which was still nice.
