Top Ten Dunkers of All Time



These are my pick for top ten dunkers of all time. These players come from all leagues, not just the NBA. I had to go beyond the NBA, cause it just wouldn't be fair to say that no players beyond the NBA are good enough to be on this list. So here goes - MY top ten for Best Dunkers of All Time.

1. Vince Carter - Did YOU see the 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Contest?
2. Michael Jordan - Could argueably be #1.
3. Kadour Ziani - Look him up on YouTube.
4. Dominique Wilkins - Gave His Airness a run for his money.
5. Julius "Dr. J" Erving - way ahead of his time in the 70's.
6. Kobe Bryant - In-game dunks are the best i've seen since Jordan.
7. Taurian "Air Up There" Fontenette - Best ever dunker in And1.
8. Clyde Drexler - Wasn't called "The Glide" for nothing.
9. Tracy McGrady - Although he's NOT the best dunker in his family (Vince is).
10. Jason Richardson - Should've been 3-time NBA dunk Champ.

So there it goes MY top 10. If your favorite player's name is not up there, well it's because he's NOT top 10... LIVE WITH IT! Remember their not all from the NBA.

My Top Ten Fantasy Picks for 07-08 Season

My top ten fantasy picks for the 2007-2008 NBA season probably won't look like anybody else's. As a matter of fact, I'm probably going out on a limb on some of them. But these are the players who I seriously think are going to stand out this year, especially for those fantasy owners out there. So, without further mumbo-jumbo, here goes:

1. LeBron James - Might be a push, but I think this will be the year he's called the greatest.
2. Kobe Bryant - This year might be his best to date, after all, he's probably auditioning for a new team next year.
3. Kevin Garnett - Maybe his scoring will suffer a little in Beantown, but I believe we'll see Moses Malone type rebounding numbers every day.
4. Dirk Nowitzki - This guy just keeps getting better and better each year.
5. Dwight Howard - With the new guys in Orlando, he'll finally get to play his true position.
6. Chris Paul - Push - Huge upside if he stays healthy
7. Steve Nash - I can't believe this guy actually got better last year.
8. Carmelo Anthony - Might be in the top three by next year.
9. Vince Carter - Has kept healthy for the past three years, his game has matured immensely.
10. Gerald Wallace - Somebody has to do the scoring in Charlotte - Well this guy just fills up the stat sheet.

So there you have them, MY top 10. I hope you're not TOO mad at me.
