The best dunker never to win it is Shawn Kemp. He's got power, grace and elegance all in one for a big man! The Reign Man over Gatlin was one of his best dunks ever!
I honestly think kemp needed 5 defenders on the court trying to stop him to make it look like a better dunk. He dunks better in a game. In this dunk contest situation I just dont think he is motivated to dunk like its practice. Kemp is the best in-game dunker ever.
Much respect to Shawn Kemp, but if you go to :07, his left foot (jumping foot) was at least a half-foot passed the free throw line. Keep this in mind: Kemp was 6'10.
Does anyone think he could've jumped exactly from the free throw line?
Go check out this Jordan dunk from the free throw line : watch?v=OD54eF2XKJA . Notice where is jumping foot is at when he takes off, and also take note that Jordan is only 6'6.
I ain't knocking Kemp. Definitely one of my favorites from back in the day.
Love Shawn Kemp. I still got some of his old basketball cards. Use to collect em back in the day. Every Shawn Kemp card it had him dunking. Great player
@Enigmatic945 I agree but the funny thing everyone always says MJ is the only person to jump cleanly from behind the free throw line, which he clearly didn't.lol...he was close but it wasn't behind. The only person i ever saw (i'm sure there are others) cleanly do it was Drexler in his Phi Slamma Jamma days at houston.
@MrR9999 was that the 98 one in indiana? that was definatly the closest he has been but its really close,maybe too hard to tell. if you get a chance check out james white (nbdl). By FAR the best free throw dunk. No question on where he took off from, you can see the floor between his shoe and the line. Thats the only one i have seen where there is no question.
Boamuro... Ce dunk, personne ne l'a jamais fait. Noone have done it again. It's a mix of: martial arts, gymnastic and jumping. Even Vince Carter at his best would maybe failed. I am big fan of Dee brown and I was so happy for him BUT this dunks note is (200%) 50. Kemp never won a dunk contest but all the winners know who he was.
come on man i hate it when people say robbed like as if dee brown just did regular one handed dunks man. this was a competitive matchup i thought kemp one also but he was ROBBED.
50 for sure...that one of the sickest dunks in nba history....kemp nowadays is the most underated player in history.....itsa shame if he doesnt make the hall of fame
@uofmi420 That dunk is nothing. Watch Pippen's first dunk attempt the year before in 90's slam dunk contest... he actually takes off behind the freethrow line and does the "foot trail" thing too.

@jamal111 The year MJ put a piece of tape down on the FT line, he was true to it. There were multiple dunk comps where MJ went for it.
MJ did the FT dunk with a legal dribble too. Most guys don't. This Kemp dunk looked like a legal dribble.

the 'high hurdle' because he actually also jumps over his majestically long penis to get to the rim

Especially in that Contest, they gave him a 48 for this dunk, a dunk that nobody else has ever done ever ever.
Dee was awesome too, but they should not have robbed Kemp in 1991.
