I have this on video tape.. Magic and Bird played on the same team. Spud made a liar out of Chick Hearn (because Chick told Spud that you can't top the previous dunk, and he did).
piratevideokid you play ball? you have to check this out - "50inch vertical [dot] com" - It's a unique training plan that will make sure you start dunking without even going to the gym if you don t want to!
piratevideokid I'm only 5 7 and I dunk in my highschool team games. I m in my school's varsity team and my dunking wows the crowd (the girls lol). It was truthfully extremely simple, I just used the unique workout over at "50inch vertical (dot) com" - anyone can do it
BTW...I have to give props to Dominique as well. He was definitely one of, if not the best dunkers of his time. What was special about him was how many spectacular dunks he make during games. That's why he got the nickname of the "human highlight film". But Jordan may have been the best dunker ever. It didn't matter if it was a game or the dunk contest he just had the combination of hops and that burst of speed that always seemed to put him in position for incredible dunks.
another thing i like about jordan is how graceful his dunks were as compared to many of the slam n your face power dunking of today...it was almost like ballet in the paint
Jordan's gaceful style comes from the Dr J. The most graceful dunker of them all. But very powerful too. Dexler's graceful style was closer to Dr. J. Dominique to me was the best dunker of the era between him and Jordan. He had is own style and the power and acrobats was beautiful.
Mwh, DW was a better slammer than Jordan. Jordan had some nice dunks, but there were better dunks from other players. Julius Erving, Clyde had some nasty dunks and can't forget Koby. Koby has nastier dunks than Jordan. As DW, he too could do it both in games and contest.
I know I'm commenting late here but this WAS NOT the official dunk contest. The was an impromptu exhibition after the All-Star game had concluded. Spud had already beat Dominique in the official dunk contest the night before the game. I went to NC State while Spud was playing there an he was incredible to watch. Not just for his hops but for his quickness and his ability to penetrate the lane amongst the land of the giants. He could also step back and hit the 3 if the defense sagged on him.
You judge a dunk contest by who's the best dunker, not who is the best dunker for their height. Spud Webb can never do the type of dunks that someone 6'8" with hops can do, so because of the height advantage Dominique is a better dunker than Spud. Also Spud had a 42inch vertical, David Thompson had a 44 inch vertical, and Steve Francis had a 43 inch vertical.
Without a doubt right in this clip you saw three of the best ATHLETES the world as ever seen. Barkley for doing what he did carrying half a nation as weight, Dominique for catch nose bleeds every time he went up and Spudd for not realizing that Mickey Mouses LITTLE brother is not supposed to be doing that!!
actually, the bigger you are, the more energy you'll use to dunk. because you're weight more compare in your size. mass increases more faster than surface area. an elephant is slower than an ant. even though elephant is stronger. but are weaker compare to there size. you can put 20 ants ontop of one ant. how many elephants can you put on top of one elephant. in the movie king kong notice how fast the king kong was. that was against the law of physic.
That is ridiculous analogy. A house cat isn't faster than a cheetah. Obviously you don't spend much time on the basketball court. Go there sometime and see how many guys that are 5'7" dunking compared to guys that are 6'8".
My oppinion:I think Dominique Wilkins is the most overrated Dunker....because he is so tall for a Rimrocker.But Spud Webb....he is the best Dunker ever!!!!!!And he jumps so high!!!!!!
Jordan is with the chicago bulls he was probly at his house,this was after a game I belive.Spud Webb was the symbol for us short people on dunking.He proved that even tho you may be short you can still accomplish anything a big person can.Nique can dunk with ease but being bigger he has less hang time as spud and not much flexability,ive never seen him do a 360 before.
lolerd!!! that's great! dominique was one of the greater dunkers and players in history of the nba and spudd web had the most amazing jump i've ever seen (it's simply stunning)
now if you stared reading this dont stop its really scarey!ok send this to five other videos in 143 minutes.When you are done press F6 and your crushes name will apear on the screen in big letters this is weird because it does work.If you break this chance you wont have a crush in the next five years

actually he could jump a little over 3 1/2 feet. that's high. im 5'7 and i used to jump 3 feet b4 my knee hurt too much. im serious tho, i was within an inch of dunkin so im about to get surgery, but neway spud was amazin, he was dunkin in games from the dotted lines
his standing vert was over 40, but i think his running was close to 50, look at how close his head is to the rim on the alleyoop reverse. probably the highest running vert ever.
not to down Spud but Air Up There, Kadour Ziani, Gerald Green, well Green can jump 48 inches(4 feet) but the others each jump 50+ inches. there's a bunch of ppl that can jump higher than Spud but he's the most significant since he beat Dominique

I doubt that the other two jumped near the height that David achieved. Dave's head passed the rim when he jumped.
