Oh man. I can't really think right now but I've seen quite a few nice Hornet dunks. Desmond Mason had quite a few nice ones. I don't know if they were the best EVER but he had a few nice ones.

Tyson has had a few nices ones. Most of his are from alley-oops but not all of them. This one alley oop in particular was nice. I think he was being heckled by a Warrior fan so he and CP put the exclamation point on what was leading up to a win.

Here's a nice one by Baron.

I also expect to see some nice ones from Julian.

What made Kirk's dunk ownage was that Wafer actually jumped to try to contest it but Kirk still went over his head. OMG!

Copperhead:

Your first Dez Mason link was nasty!, haven't seen that one before.. I'd be posting heaps more but i've got a 5mb streaming vid limit on my work web access, still waiting on web access at my new apartment... Tryna dig up Larry Johnson's huge off the backboard dunk in the dunk comp, also Chris Paul on Dwight Howard deserves a rating.

EDIT: Also, I remember a SKYING putback dunk by Ricky Davis over like 2 guys a few years back thats pretty worthy... I reckon we should turn this into a poll once we have a top 10 or so?

Oh yeah. That Dez Mason on Matt Carroll was SICK. I laughed when Carroll pulled on Mase's jersey on his way down to keep himself from falling. :lol:

CP's dunk on Howard also came to mind simply because it was a little guy on a big guy. Yeah, we might need a poll once we've finished gathering.

Funnily enough i've had trouble finding some really impressive LJ dunks, theres two fairly impressive ones, which I can't link right now coz they barred YouTube from my work PC, but yea, not as many highlights for LJ as a Hornet as you;d expect
