Wat players would u say can dunk from the FT line in the NBA 

Post#1 » by tjfordrules » Mon Mar 10, 2008 7:06 pm

Im just curious to see some posters here opinion on who can do so. Back in the 80's and such. These dunks were considered incredible. But now it seems to me that there are multiple players who can do so. Obviously from here in toronto we have Jamario moon who can do so.

Maybe you guys can nominate some and even post videos if there are any.

Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

I was actually going to nominate him. I wonder if there is any real footage of a player dunking from the freethrow line or VERY close during a ball game other then dalembert.

Heres the video of dalembert dunking pretty close to the free throw line during a game.

Half the league can dunk from the foul stripe, if Brent Barry did it, who the hell can't?

lmao, brent barry was a damn good dunker and you're underestimating how hard it really is. barry had major distance to his hops. id say from the raptors, only jamario moon could do so.

I think VC did it once against the Knicks while beating the buzzer.

It's at 3:27

Jason Richardson can't do it, he is a 2 feet jumper and it is impossible for a 2 feet jumper to do this dunk, he can do pretty much anything else though

Every team has at least one player that can do it, imo.
I've read even Jeff Foster did it in practice (years ago, in a bet with Bender).

The warriors don't have anyone that can do it. THe closest might be either Brandon Wright or Pietrus, but I doubt either of them can do it.

It's not like two feet jumpers are incapable of jumping off one foot...

I believe J-Rich tried a 1 foot ft line dunk in the dunk contest but couldn't do it. But I don't exactly remember.

I bet Carter could still do it. I think Dwight Howard might be able to.

I don't see Dwight doing much jumping off one foot though, so I don't know if he could.
