Top 5 dunkers ever

[Deepster]

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".

I guess I am just not enough of a UConn jocksniffer to think our sophomore kid is on a short list of quite possibly the finest collection of athletes in any professional sport.

So many good dunkers over the years. My short list would be 1. Stanley and 2. Dyson. I do believe that if AJax makes the league he will be invited to the dunk contest as a rookie.

AJ's dunk at the start of the G'town game was pretty epic.

Reggie!! Reggie!! Has AJ ever made reference to Mr. October #44?

Butler
I also like DePriest and Burrell

I think it smells good. But maybe that’s just me.

All you need to know is in this video

Yes, I put Sticks ahead of Jackson.

 

[SubbaBub]

1. Stanley
2. Rudy
3. Everbody else.

I think you can throw a blanket over Donyell, Sticks and Rudy and not be wrong.

We've had some good ones, I'll say Stanley (of course), then Rudy and then Scotty:

From a degree of difficulty, Bouk’s alley-oop against ECU was the most impressive dunk in school history.

Yup, it's a yearly thread.

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...

Doug Wren

Marcus Johnson

Sid Wilson was a great dunker as well, but not better than Andre. I remember a story about him having an impressive dunk in practice, leading Jalen Adams to exclaim,"Heyooo Jelly Fam!"

Dan Hurley didn't like that.

 

[Kenny11]

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.

Yes. Watch that Stanley Robinson videos. Besides his incredible putbacks look at all the nice passes and lobs he received.

 

[mauconnfan]

Stanley #1 easy

The between Ray, Donyell, Rudy, Caron (underrated), Hakeem, Charlie V .... AJ maybe later on.

Tony and Ben very good for 6’2 guards for sure as well.

Norman Bailey

I was in the student ticket overflow section for that Donyell dunk back in my UConn attending daze.
It was great to see live right in front of us.

 

[ColchVEGAS]

My man Sticks. Good call on Doug Wrenn, even though he was only here for a year. What a freak athlete, it is really a shame he could not keep his head on straight. It really limited his career.

 

[Ratso]

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.

he really is a freak athlete for arguably 5’10
