Favorite dunker

The title says "favorite," not "best." Who was your favorite? I'm partially very bored right now, but I also just love seeing poll results. Plus, I'm anxiously awaiting the results of navery's sheep game to be unveiled! So we've have had some awesome dunkers throughout the years, but I had...

Check out Stanley’s best dunks video (it’s a long one, he has so many). Somewhere in there is one where he jumped over Adrien to put back in a shot, and Adrien looks around with a look of WTF? oh, it’s Stanley, and shakes his head. Now, that was funny!
No one got as much fun out of dunking as Stanley, yelling and kicking his legs- that 2009 team, what could have been, one of the all-time best squads, but for Dyson’s injury

His one against ECU is definitely up there.

Maybe the best in-game dunk I’ve ever seen. It will be on every UConn dunk reel moving forward. Fitting that it was against ECU because it serves as a reminder of the dark days.

If we're talking athlete I'd cast a rare vote for Boat. He was quick, grabbed boards, shot 3's. had great body control. Plus when he would rise up and dunk it made me giddy. I saw him dunk a putback on Ryan Anderson's head in a Nike summer tourney, and the place went bonkers .

What's your question? Third best athlete or dunker at UConn? Jackson is the best athlete I've ever seen at UConn and he would be one of the best athletes in the NBA.

You're drunk. There's no way he's one of the best athletes in the NBA. Good lord.

Watch an NBA game some time and count the guys who are freakier athletes than Andre. It'll be a short list.

His high school coach has said repeatedly that if he quit basketball tomorrow he'd be in the Olympics doing some track and field event in 4 years. Don't hold it against him that he makes it look easy.
 
Bouk is underrated. I think he’s easily a top 10, maybe even top 5 dunker here. Hurley even mentioned that Bouk isn’t far behind Andre with respect to leaping ability.

That was Hurley’s pool

Yup, @Dove corrected me already. I found the article about it too. And the video of the pool dunk. See post above or link provided below to the post.

Top 5 dunkers ever

As @UCLJ0211 pointed out… No one comes close to Stanley. No one. His follows on the miss were jaw dropping, but the ease with which he would take guys off the dribble and finish with the flush were so impressive. I miss him and his smile. Gotta also show some love for Emeka and Tony Robertson...

Sort of off-topic, but I think this team would be a dramatically better dunking team with better passes. We have the athletes, but it seems like we struggle a bit with timing and location. It has been better lately though.

I loved the attitude Boatright played with. Give me a team full of those guys. I never understood why he never dunked off of one foot.

I felt he always had a chip on his shoulder. I loved his toughness but that apparent anger kept me from loving him.
 
Does anyone remember this dunk…

Game happened at Gampel (I think it was a conference game) at some point between 2001 - 2007.

It was a 3 man fast break. First guy threw an alley oop to the second guy coming up the left who passed it in the air for an alley oop for the third guy coming from the right.

As a kid, I remember it was epic.

I’ve never been able to find the video (and don’t remember when it happened exactly except for being in that general time frame above).

If someone remembers what year that was / can find that video you would be my hero.

I can't help you on finding the play, but just picturing your description gives me chills. Nothing blows the roof off a stadium like a Globetrotteresque multiplayer trick shot dunk in a big game. It's high risk, because if it fails you might get benched and hurt the team's chances to win. If it succeeds, the reward is pure bliss and pandemonium in the arena.

Sadly this should be not for discussion. Sadly again I think he had one less than pedestrian dunk in an actual game. Easily one of history’s( that’s all history) greatest contest format dunkers. In a game. Non existent.

You mean like this one?

Right, so there is a probability/certainty that Morant is a better athlete at the NBA level than AJ.

He's on the short list. The upcoming pissing contest will be how many players in the NBA constitutes "the short list"? You got somewhere around 450-500 players on active rosters, injured or 2-way contracts. So top 5% of players is a short list? That gives you 20-25 players or less than one per team. Top 2%? That drops you down to 8-10 players.

Anyway, y'all enjoy the sniping back and forth of what constitutes "freakier" and what constitutes "short list of players".

He always seemed to be good for at least one put-back dunk per game on the boards.
