I think Dwight's looks better, but the degree of difficulty is greater on Iguodala's.

I picked Iguodala for being the originator... plus because I'm a Sixers fan :)

Not really, I think both dunks were equal on the degree of difficulty. Dwight Howard did the dunk with his left hand though.

Ok, I'll give you that.

AI2 glided to the opposite side of the basket to throw it down, and looking at where he caught the ball and how far he had to go.

I like Iggy's dunk better.

Dwight windmilled it from the side with his left hand, and Iguodala's was a reverse dunk with his right hand. Dwight lobbed it himself, and Iverson lobbed it in Iguodala's dunk. lol @ people saying it was exactly the same dunk. Iguodala even had a running start.

I think Iggy's dunk was slightly better, but Dwight's was off the charts as well. I'd rate both as 50s, but if I had to pick I'd take Iggy's.

Dwight's because his body was behind the backboard and he had to do it with his left hand.

While Iggy's was one of best I've ever seen, his momentum was carrying him towards the rim.
LOL Y U MAD THO?

Dwight's was done with greater difficulty.

1. Iggy's body position didn't change, while Dwight twist his body in air.
2. Dwight's was a left handed windmill.

It was a Gerald Green fan or a Raptors fan that said it.

I like Dwight Howard's better. He's just a pretty dunker. Howard just explodes off the floor and seems to hang.

People often mistake newer for better, so Dwight's dunk is going to be most people's choice right now.
