NBA Top 40 dunks: Michael Jordan vs Kobe Bryant

NBA Top 40 dunks: Michael Jordan vs Kobe Bryant

Who's the greatest? Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant? His Airness or the Kobester? #23 or #24?

Lots of people are still arguing with eachothers trying to find the right answer. But regarding the dunk area, which one was the best?

One unleashed the "rock the cradle" dunk. The other has made the baseline windmill jam his dunk signature. Both are known for their incredible athletic skills.

Here are 40 dunks (21 for Kobe & 19 for Jordan) that every player would like to add in his résumé.

You can argue with the order but I think the very best dunks from these two players are in this top 40.

So which one is/was the greatest dunker? Air Jordan ord Black Mamba? You can watch now...make your choice!

jordan had a 48 inch vertical leap compared to only 38 inch by kobe, so there is not even a question as to who the better dunker was.

Michael Jordan had many other dunks left out that can easily fill up all spots.

Here are some videos to watch.

One of Jordan's advantage was BIG hands, even Phil said that if their is a difference between the two it would be MJ's huge hands. But hey, both of em destroyed tough defenders in their own different ways. So props to both of them.

@hhhytryyhyhj You're Nam doesn't make sense but what you wrote does. All the Kobe/LeBron haters are mostly from the Jordan era. I am also and I grew up in the Chicago land area and loved MJ and the Bulls but lets all be realistic and unbiased and admit that Kobe is atleast in the discussion of greatest of all time.

Kobe had skilled dunks and Jordan had far and high dunks. How about everyone compare how skillful the dunks are instead of the vertical leap don't you guys think?
