With the dunk contest around the corner, I pose a simple question...

[dearwinter219]

Who has the best flair and elevation in the league?

I'd say nobody gets UP like LBJ, and I used to love Kobe's flair but he's so casual with it now... like...he pretends to soar instead of actually taking off

. I kinda like the way Gerald Green dunks these days

lbj attacks the rim like a mini shaq when he dunks, but he lacks variety

More like a one-trick Nique on steroids.

but what's the point? How often do you see off the wall +$!% in games anyway? Very rarely.

As for the question...I'm going with Josh Smith.

Josh don't even count. He got moon boots on

true, really isn't a point. but Vince, when he got the chance, would do some

type #+!% in games. Lebron gets enough fastbreaks alone to do more than that one handed cockback dunk

 

[shannonscrooks]

People taking Lebron's dunks for granted.

 

[dearwinter219]

Yeah, true. Also, Vince is like the only dunker in videogame history to do the %$** in REAL LIFE in REAL games that he does on 2K9...

.... well, he andK8be.

Not at all. It's ONE helluva dunk. Avery nice one.

 

[nyelectric]

Flair and elevation? Clearly Nate Robinson.

 

[dlo13]

Josh Smith only has 3-4 dunks, too...

ok...once again I ask...who is performing this myriad ofdunks you all seem to believe somebody has?

Like I said...in game...NOBODY is pulling off some jaw dropping %$#+. Ya'll need to lay the 2K9 down.

Who right now in the NBA...has a plethora of in game dunks?

Well yeah, but it ain't as fun to see him get to the rim as it is seeing Josh or LBJ looking down into the net.And K8be's hang time ballet is appreciated as well.

Very true, but Kobe lacks power.

 

[miamin2]

Maybe Rudy Gay... He's got some creativity and the posterizations.

Gerald Green is nice but he never plays so we can't really see what he's got

I really wish Joe Alexander would have been in the dunk contest, that guys so obsessed with dunking I bet he's got some crazy stuff under his belt

 

[i nasmatic i]

I like Andre Iguodala's dunks.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Peep the Sig.

 

[cmoweb]

Rudy and Iggy IMO
(why didn't they make/ask Iggy to be in the DC this year) Rudy Fernandez? LOL
LeBron's dunks are crazy, because they are so powerful. But nobody really shows a lot of flair in game dunks. They try to take off from far away on thefast break, but that's about. Even in his prime, Vince was the only one CONSISTENTLY do contest dunks in the middle of the game.
Never forget that one he did on/around/past Chris Mullin WAY BACK in the half man/half amazing days...

Dude went up on one side for a two handed tomahawk, and then changed his mind in mid air and decided to fly over to the other side of the rimending up with a windmill reverse

"Plethora" is a tough word, but my man JR Smith has a lot of different dunks. Reverse dunks, two hand, one hand, off one foot, off two,off the drop step, over dudes, open floor jams, alley oops, etc. Kid got elevation and flair, but he's often overlooked. I'm really not understandinghow a guy like Rudy Fernandez gets an invite to the dunk contest and JR doesn't. Oh well, guess I'm biased. Maybe it's just his image. I'mpretty sure Stern hates the kid.

Shout to Andre Iguodola and Rudy Gay, those guys have some nice dunks too.

Bonus: Kenyon Martin has some serious elevation for a guy his age and for being a veteran of the microfracture knee surgery game. He can get UP. He looksdown in the rim sometimes, and gets up on D a lot too. Not saying he has the best dunks cuz all he does is the 2 handed power jam, but he has incrediblehops.

 

[kixofrinic]

Andre Iguodala ftw

 

[beallsfinest]

One of the Smiths...both their styles are

 

[guerrilla warfare]

I don't kno y LeBron scared to enter the dunk contest?...

He probably scared that, if he enters the contest...errbody kno he gon win...then he end up losing!!!
