http://broadband.nba.com/cc/playa.php?c ... basite=nbaThis is a great list, but I do think that the "Without regard for human life" dunk by LeBron deserved a spot.

I have a hard time believing that BDiddy's dunk over AK is the 2nd greatest playoff dunk of all-time. It was nice, but seriously?

Actually, the best ones in there for me are Kemps dunk (love the theatrics afterward) and of course KJ's dunk on Hakeem. It's something special when you posterize and HOFer.

good list. i deffinatly thought lebrons over KG was gunna be included.
i also thought this shouldve been in there, from the move, dunk and how prince squirrled off like a little girl. and the impact that took the lead with 23 seconds left.

Pip on Ewing and Drex on Cartwright were both pretty low imo
Baron's was a bit too high, same with Erving's dunk that was #4..very nice but top 5?
The MJ @#1 was sick, especially in slow-mo, but I love the Kemp one. And what makes the MJ one better than the one Starks did? Starks is a few inches shorter.
I guess MJ being #1 is way too cliche for my liking.

Jordan made a great move and a good dunk; not really worth its spot at all.
I thought Baron's dunk deserved its place. There's no reason recent history shouldn't be included in an all-time list if it's worthy. That was one for the ages.
Kemp's dunk on Alton Lister was truly epic.

I just look at the crowd's reaction. And then I look at the screen and see how the crowd's cheering reached 107 decibals. Then I notice that the dunk caused the Jazz to call a timeout to refocus. I saw Stephen Jackson wiping Baron's shoulders off. I then look at Matt Barnes and Mickael Pietrus both putting their hands over their heads in awe. I see Adonal Foyle doing a thizz face. Then I see how they played the dunk over and over on the big jumbotron screen 7 times during the time out while everyone was going crazy watching it. At this moment, I remember that the Warriors at the time was a team that people assumed not make it to the 2nd round, let alone be in the playoffs in the first place. I then realize that the dunk symbolizes and represents how memorable Golden State made the 2007 playoffs.
(calm down Amare, I said the dunk was nice; no need to give me that type of response, lol stupid Warriors fan you guys lost the series anyways lmao).

I thought Sprewell's dunk in Game 5 of the NBA Finals should have made the list

Shawn Kemp's is #1. The experience after that already awesome dunk equals the dunk itself.

Barons dunk over AK was the reason the warriors went out in 5 that year. It was the 4th quarter with like 3 minutes left and they were up by 20. they could have easily won a game 4 but they put fuel on our fire. Indeed it was a great dunk but it still not phenominal.

Definitely better then the LeBron dunk that they had up there, the leaning alleyoop.
