-Jamario Moon - yes
-Josh Smith - yes, most likely
-Lebron James - yes
-Gerald Green - possibly, but I'm not sold on his one-footed leaping
-Dwight Howard (If he jumped towards the rim instead of straight up..) - again, most likely, but not sold on his one-footed leaping
-James White - yes
-Tyrus Thomas - probably
-Amare Stoudemire - possibly, but questionable; pre-injury if anything
-Jason Richardson - no, not a one-footed leaper
-Gerald Wallace - probably
-Ricky Davis - maybe back in 2004, but very questionable imo
-Dorell Wright - ?
-Shawn Marion - maybe back in 2003 or so
-Vince Carter - yes
-Monta Ellis - no way
-Corey Brewer - ?
-Kobe Bryant - nope
-Dahntay Jones - ?
-Ryan Hollins - ?
-Mickael Pietrus - no


The question marks I haven't seen enough of take make a determination either way.

Jason Richardson can't for sure, as everyone witnessed in the dunk competition a few years ago.

Basically anyone with length and 1 foot sub world-class leaping ability.
Ryan Hollins = 7 foot high jumper in High school, all-american high jumper
Rodney Carney = high jumper in high school, all state track letterman in high jump
Lebron James = has the speed and is an excellent 1 foot long distance jumper, was James former long jumper?

I remember Carney trying some intense dunks in the NCAA dunk contest. He's a yes for sure.

Young Kobe maybe, right now it's impossible for him.

LeBron maybe, guy is 260 pounds. I'm not sure.

IIRC Baron used to do it all the time. When I first started watching him when he was on the Hornets, he did some crazy dunks from far away.

I know for sure Gerald Green, Moon, Gay, and LeBron can.

A solid majority because more time is spent trying to perfect dunks than it is on the fundamentals. Dunks are exciting. They put fans in the seats. God forbid someone plays the game correctly.
