I was trying to think of who the last NBA player who couldn't dunk was. David Stockton? Nope, looked up some videos and he can yam.

So who was it, do we have to go all the way back to Muggsy? Could Muggsy dunk? Is Muggsy the only NBA player in since..the 60's who couldn't dunk? Could everyone dunk in the 60s? Cousy?

And to clarify..I mean never be able to dunk..so temporarily injured, old players don't count.

Pistons Blake Griffin

Can fvv throw down?

JJ Barea played nearly 900 games and took 7000 FGA and not a one was a dunk.

Willing to bet every nba player CAN dunk, just some players won’t dunk in a game...

Chuck forgive me, but jj barea? Did he ever dunk in a game?

At 6'1 I would certainly assume he could

0 career dunks

I think there's several active players that probably can't and never have. Don't think Fred Vanvleet can even get close

2:20 moment he does dunk in warmups so he could at one point technically dunk, but I could dunk in non-game settings too, but would never call myself a dunker because I never dunked in a game.

And I'm 6'3" so yeah that tells what an epic athletic specimen I am.

I literally came here to say JJ Barea haha.

FVV mention is always a good reminder than you have zero chance against an NBA player.

Three years ago when he barely got playing time he dominated with ease against a overseas journeyman and a 18 year old Jordan Poole. The skill gap is massive.

As for who can’t dunk I think they all can. In game is a different story.

Yeah no matter how bad they might look in the NBA, how old they are, you're going to get embarrassed.

I don't think Mark Price could dunk. Not sure if Avery Johnson could either.

Has to be muggsy the most underrated player in history, positive defender at 5'3

I was going to say Kemba but I did a google investigation and apparently he's dunked twice haha.

Watch on YouTube

Spin right into a Dirk high knee fadeaway. The difficulty and simply average joes have no idea how to get him from his spots or stop the shot.
If you remember the Schallenge it’s basically the same package he does for anyone foolish enough to think they stand a chance.

Could Popeyes Jones dunk? I can’t recall seeing patty mills or jj dunk

This is as close as OP will get to an answer.
