Favorite Clipper Dunk of all time?
This is an easy one for me. 2 years ago. Clippers vs. Minnesota i believe. Clippers were down most of the game, and then they stormed back in the fourth quarter. With about 35 seconds left they finally went up by a few points..minnesota had one shot left, but missed the shot. Rooks got the rebound, through a length of the floor pass to odom who was on the opposite foul line, back to the basket....he catches the ball while he is in the air....then does a one handed, underhand, 180 degree turn, pass to darius miles who comes baseline for the alley oop jam. I think that might be one of my favorite dunks period of all time, if you take into consideration the moment it was done, and that it was exclamation point on a game the clippers werent supposed to win....ralph lawler went crazy on that play by play...
My favorite dunk against the clippers.....no contest...amare POSTERIZING kandi man. Oh goodness was that embarrasing.
Some other memorable dunks:
In a game vs. dikembe's team, dikembe had done a couple blocks on clippers, then did a taunting shake of his finger, as if to say, "not in my neighborhood". Later in the game, tiny keyon dooling, came screaming down the lane and did a one hand dunk over dikembe...then mimicked his finger waving. He got T'd up for that, but man was that classic.
Also, who will forget brent barry in the slam dunk contest...is he still the only white guy to win the thing? Even better than his free throw line dunk, i liked his baseline, throw the ball behind is back in the air, to catch it and do a reverse dunk that he did.
Anyways, this past year i dont know if there were any good dunks...seems like the clippers didnt know what a fast break was after miles left. I doubt kaman will give us any highlights. Maybe if wilcox gets more PT we will see some exciting plays...

I like the Darius Tommahawk against Phoenix two seasons ago, and Q's dunk this season were he did the salute after it. Corey also did a sick dunk against the Lakers this year when we first played in our blue jerseys.
Whenever I think of Clipper dunks though, I always think of Amare over Kandi

Definitely the LO no look lob in mid air. I thought it was against Sacramento though. That is the most spectacular play I have ever seen.

In response to the Wilcox pic: I think this guy is a very talented dunker. I can remember him having at least one spectacular dunk in every game he played in. You gotta love Maggette's dunks too.

The Odom to Miles was definitely an amazing play. I also liked Lamar Odom's bang on Theo Ratliff. Chris Wilcox, one handed down the lane fast break oop from Andre Miller (anyone remember it?) was awesome. Nice pics, Im The One, and I'm liking the sig.

LOL! His signature move.
There was a play last year (wasn't a dunk, but awesome nonetheless) where Eric Piatkowski blocked someone's three point shot halfway and the ball went right to Q where he did mid-air one-handed pass back to Piatkowski who was already running toward the other side of the court then laid it in. It got me out of my chair cheering.

Another one i missed. Its on the clippers.com multemedia section from two seasons ago. Clips vs. sonics. Miles did a wicked cross over on radmanovich or whatever his name is...literally left him 5 feet away on the play, then took a couple steps and slammed it down over another sonic.....
