What does a recreational event has to do with acessing the greatest dunker of all time discussion?

Unless, off course, we should bring Spud Webb and Dee Brown into the mix of the debate...

He has had countless facials. The only premier big man of his time I dont think he has dunked on his Shaq.

Regardless, nothing any of those guys have ever done dunking wise will ever come close to Vince jumping over a 7 footer in the Olympics. Thats the ultimate feat of athleticism.

so ur saying that since 90% of those were by himself and so 10 of them are in traffic while Jordan has less than that in his greatest dunks video.

No.

What i'm saying (and i'm completely disregarding small samples of highlight reels)is that going for the rim all alone is different than dunking all over Hakeem Olajuwon, for example (one of my favourite dunks ever, by KJ)

If Kobe tried to contort his body in the air the way Carter does and still manages to finish, he'd be wheelchaired off the court.

Vince doesn't nearly have the best hops of all time.

Vince probably has the most god-given talent in the league. Like what was said before, it's his lack of intensity and will power along with his niceness on the court that set him back so much.

You're crazy. Kobe has far better handles , mid range jumper, contested 3 pt shooting range, moves, bball understanding and IQ, flexibility and 1st step, and a better defensive player. `1W2

You are totally oblivious to the fact that 75% of the highlights, in this video, WERE facials. Why people call VC the greatest dunker of all time? He can facial. He has the perfect windmill, the smoothest and most elegant 360s. He can windmill where there's 2 Clippers or whoever his opponents are in the paint. He can windmill off an alleyoop. He can jump over a 7'ter, no other dunkers have ever done in a dunk contest, let alone ingame.

Totally blind, or just hating on Vince.

You rarely see anyone doing those double-pump reverse two handed dunks

Let alone in a half court set, or better, where there's 2 or 3 guys in the paint.

Give me this guy, he actually conquered the game in every facet.
