Durants was better, but neither can be compared with VC in the olympics

Kevin Johnson, the little man over THE BEST shotblocker this league has ever seen Hakeem Olajuwon, is the best playoff dunk of all time. Suns fans where you at?

My homer-ism tells me to go with T-mac, althought Durant's dunk was NASTY.
Vote.
I'll take Durants because it was done in the Western conf finals while the other one was done in what? The first round? Oh yeah, had to be.
Great reason.

Durants easily. Haywood actually tried to contest it and Durant got some sick air plus got fouled.

Re: Better dunk: T-Mac or KD?
Durant's head looked like it was higher but the camera angle was lower, which always makes things look higher from perspective (in the one where you see his head clearly), while TMac had an above-view camera angle. Still think Durant's is slightly higher, but I like TMac's. The major reason is TMac actually had a primary defender to beat. In Durant's Peja gave him everything.

Yah that KD dunk will be talked about for the rest of his life. My favorite that I have seen anyway.

Hey, looky, a ballboy who is still an Iverson fan likes T-Mac better than KD!
Why am I not terribly surprised????????????/

Re: Better dunk: T-Mac or KD?
^Dude there is no "answer" to this question. There's no actual way of proving which dunk is better and why. It's all just opinion. And only because T-mac has more votes doesn't mean its all ball-boys voting for him. I voted for him, and I've been at this site 5 years longer than you have. Yet you don't see me calling you a ball-boy or whatever. Just relax.

Re: Better dunk: T-Mac or KD?
Tmac's dunk might one of the most overrated i ever seen, not hatting but he basically dunked on air, Bradley was too late to even contest it, was he trying to block with his back or ducking head? Haywood actually had his hands up and bodied Durant, add elevation and it's KD easily

KD's was a dunk by definition, but I take off points for not having his hand get to the rim.

T-Mac was more spectacular, but Durant's dunk was tougher.

Why you no youtube html?
If it's the dunk on Haywood, it's close. But I'll got with the Mac since Shawn Bradley was 10 feet tall and was in Space Jam.

Durant.
Brendan Haywood fouls Durant HARD and he still puts him on a poster - not many players could have finished that dunk. The elevation was just insane as well.

Gotta go with the bias choice.
McGrady
- He rode Bradley good
- Kevin Harlan being epic
- Mac made Van Gundy chew on that gum at the rate of a humminbird after that dunk
Durant fell on his back. Not good in my book.

pathetic reason to go after tmac's first round record.
The quetsion was the better DUNK, what difference does the round it was made in?

T-Mac because of how he ended up getting a piggy back ride from Bradley.

Oh come on, the bench reaction alone makes T-Macs dunk better.

Well the McGrady one was great enough so that they actually showed it on the jumbo tron in Dallas. I don't think the same can be said of Durant's. Either way, T-Mac definitely. Two footed posters > one footed posters and he literally slid down Bradley after he dunked on his way back to the ground. Never seen that before or after.
