The elbow dunk. The 360 windmill. The between-the-legs. Carter didn't just win the contest — he produced the greatest dunking performance in NBA history. Period.
Michael Jordan
The free throw line dunk. From the charity stripe. Legs spread. Tongue out. The most iconic image in basketball history.
Vince Carter
"Le Dunk de la Mort." Carter jumped OVER 7'2" Frederic Weis. Completely cleared him. The French call it the dunk of death. They're not wrong.
LeBron James
The chase-down block on Andre Iguodala. Not a dunk, but the most jaw-dropping defensive play ever. LeBron came from nowhere and pinned it on the backboard.
Shaquille O'Neal
Shaq didn't just dunk — he destroyed the backboard. Literally. He pulled down shot clocks, bent rims, and shattered backboards. The NBA had to reinforce them because of him.
Dominique Wilkins
The Human Highlight Film vs Air Jordan. Two windmill dunks. Should he have won? Many say yes. The greatest dunk contest battle ever.
Baron Davis
In the biggest upset in NBA playoff history (We Believe Warriors), Davis posterizes Andrei Kirilenko with a ferocious one-handed slam.
Kobe Bryant
Kobe over Dwight Howard. Kobe over Steve Nash. Kobe reverse off the baseline. He dunked on everyone. The meanest dunker for his size ever.
Ja Morant
The most explosive vertical leaper in the modern NBA. His poster dunks go viral every week. A 6'3" guard dunking over 7-footers.
DeAndre Jordan
The poster dunk on Brandon Knight. Knight tried to take a charge. Jordan jumped over him. Knight was sent to the shadow realm. One of the most violent dunks in history.
