i went to their site and theres a poll to see who it is.
These are all the players.
Chris Bosh
Baron Davis
Kevin Durant
Kevin Garnett
Andre Iguodala
LeBron James
Yao Ming
Steve Nash
Dirk Nowitzki
Tony Parker
Chris Paul
Paul Pierce
Brandon Roy
Josh Smith
Dwayne Wade
Deron Williams
If it's not Dwight (not on the list) I guess I'll have to go with Pierce.

EDIT: Deleted photo of wrong person dunking.

I think he's usually a 2-handed dunker so I'm a little skeptical.

That's Monta Ellis.MalReyn wrote:-= original quote snipped =-
It could be Roy, after looking at this dunk (though it's not THIS one specifically since the legs are different):
(picture)
I think he's usually a 2-handed dunker so I was initially skeptical, but this picture at least shows he's a distinct possibility.

Ben Wallace was on the 2k5 cover and the only thing marketable about him is his hair.
I'm thinking it's Paul Pierce like a lot of other people. If it were Iggy or Josh Smith theyd be a lot higher above the basket, they got insane hops. Looks like Pierce's body type and what I'd expect his one-handed dunk form to look like at this point.
Caron Butler is my second guessthough, he's a serious sleeper pick.
EDIT: Scratch the Butler pick, just saw daveisceltics list.
