i dont have time to load videos, but i will say this. I agree with the dwight howard tip it to himself off the bounce being at the top, but id put it at 2 and not 1, and this is why. i think jordans free throw line dunk is 1, not only the best free throw line dunk, but the best dunk period. it not only took athletic ability, but coordination, timing, and style. and as we all have seen many have tried, only to fail and prove to us just how complicated and great of a dunk it is. most people cant get the timing right or coordinate there footwork to be able to take of from behind the line, then there ability to be able to jump from that far out, then have the hangtime and creativity to be able to make it stylish ie: caulk the ball back air walk and bring your legs up, then extend and explode at the end. most guys, including dwight, just jump(from a step in front of the line) and reach out as far as they can as they soar to the hoop. so to me this shows the level of difficulty is above and beyond all dunks. you cant just be a leaper, you cant just be powerful, you cant just be a 2 foot jumper, you gotta actually take "flight". and as for dwights self tip jam, thats great. totally creative, never seen it before, so he gets major points for that, and i think the touch and timing and coordination levels are very high, but i could see another couple guys in the league pulling it off(lebron, j rich, josh smith), but i put him at 2 cus he came up with it. as for 3 id say its a tie for either vince carters through the legs, or j rich off the glass through the legs, 4 would be jordans rock the baby to sleep(that shit is so hard to cup and swing and then get it around and above the rim), 5 whoever bounced it off the back of the backboard then reverse dunked it. honorable mention is andrea iguadalas(?) around the back, dominiques windmill, miner windmill, kemps spiderman, jr/isiah riders eastbay funk and sprees coach choking....cus who ever gonna do that again?
ps nate robinson has the sickest hops pound for pound, and is amazing and fun to watch, but just being able to jump high for a 5 9 guy shouldnt make you a dunk champion. he does basic reverse dunks, self alley oop dunks, and jumps over things. no creativity and not enough hang time to ad appropriate style. love the cryptonite nikes though.
