anyone who argues that he isnt a mtyhical dunking figure is out of his mind. Jordan is one of the best to ever do it, salute.
I remember watching Jordan's early videos where he was kind of JUST getting windmills in on hoops that people argued weren't 10 foot... (the classic comments on dunk videos...), he was getting up but not super explosive then not long after that he was hitting east bays and after that I didn't see much of him until he exploded onto the scene and man was it impressive! Seeing his journey was crazy, his mindset was always on point and he really didn't want to give up. He has MADE himself into as much of a legend as T-Dub and the air up there! - AMAZING!
I'm proud that your favorite dunk contest was in Latvia.
Damn! It's awesome to see his development over the last 15 years. Name-dropping TDubb and AUT had me choked up, and then Chuck talking about J's tenacity and passion really got me. What a great episode!
His evolution is remarkable
White Guy From Canada. Best Dunker On Earth.
Jordan is the Michael Jordan of dunking.
Dunking should be in the Olympics
Facts
No !!
But no
Here's a funny story: back over 10 years ago me and my friends were training and we came up with what now is called the scorpion dunk. We laughed our ass off about how ridiculous it looked (we did a 360 version of it with a left-right plant turning counter clockwise).
Next thing you know, Jordan is doing it and everyone is saying how wonderful it is 😃
The ONLY knock I have about rating Jordan as a goat dunker is that he doesn't play basketball. Guy, T dub and the Air Up There were REALLY hooping... Tony Crosby really hoops. Even Isaiah plays games. I get the logic behind not playing basketball for him but in game dunks count
Non sense of insane proportion
@LedgerLiner not really.. dunking on people and dunking off the dribble are important aspects of dunking and should thus be considered when talking about the goat of dunking. I would have a hard time arguing that jordan wasn't the most creative pro or the most polished contest dunker in the world tho...
Jordan also doesn't have much of a 1 fted repotoire. Jordan IS arguably the greatest dunker and I'm just throwing up respectful arguments fam
If anything’s clear it’s that if he put his mind to it he could. So it’s not really a knock on his resume imo. Being a good in game dunker is more influenced by height. No one thinks Aaron Gordon is the best dunker even though he has these qualities.
@liamforbes. True but you could throw Jordan in that contest vs zach and Aaron and he is not going to win every time. In a similar vein..if zach and Aaron didn't have to worry about shooting dribbling, a play book, defense and all the other intricacies of BBall how crazy would their dunking actually be.
I understand what you’re saying…but there’s really no pro dunker that’s dunking on people in game like that similar to was Dennis smith Jr and Ja Morant do…dunking in game is a totally different beast especially when it comes to catching a poster
I will say this though…if Jordan wanted to play basketball and try to dunk on someone…he could reach the likes of a Ja Morant type posters if he REALLY REALLY wanted to no joke…Jordan is the best when it comes to using his complete vertical on every single dunk he does.
And yes social media hoopers like Slim Reaper and Zer0 Bounce catch bodies…but they’re not pro dunkers, it’s a difference
My favorite dunker was Spud Webb. At around 5’7”, he did some nice dunks to be so short compared to other players.
he won a dunk contest too. i have it on VHS lol
The shorter the dunker the more it looks like they’re flying
Dunking deserves more exposure, keep up the great work
T DUB and JK are my all time TFB favs
Does these recent uploads mean we are on the cusp of getting a new dunk league season?
Justin Darlington next
living legend
Can’t wait for his double time through the legs dunk.
I am coining the name of the dunk now “double time”.😊
Mobility is the universal factor of a high jumper… you can be strong, you can be fast, but if you’re not mobile and flexible you won’t be any good..
This boy lowkey from my city. Owen sound ontario.
If tug a war was an Olympic sport from 1900-1920 then dunking should 100000% be an Olympic sport 🙄
This is an incredible comment. Agreed
He is not the greatest but one of the most creative
Him and Isaih Rivera
Isaiah is up there but Kilganon has done every dunk Isaiah has and more and for longer. Isaiah can totally get there though, he’s surpassed kilganon in terms of jumping ability
Respect to jordan killganon but Isaiah has passed him as the greatest dunker and possibly jumper ever
How can you call him the greatest dunker of all time over Vince Carter, Shawn Kemp, Jason Richardson, Lavine, Gordon, Gerald Green, ETC....
He's arguably better than even them, especially considering his height! If Kilganon was over 6'5 like them, with his same vert (50 inches), there's no telling what he could do!
@@bryant475
He dunks with no defenders lol. You need to be trialed and tested before being the GOAT dunker, cmon
Dunking don’t necessarily have to be in a basketball game… am I missing something?
@@jesus2056
Ok, I'm the best shooter in the world. But I only shoot in empty gyms with no defenders. I can hit tons of trick shots though. Gotta call me GOAT still
From what I’ve seen, this dunking scene looks like a separate sport of its own. I think it should be perceived similarly to sports like figure skating where creativity and difficulty of execution is taken into account. “Dunkers” and NBA dunkers are entirely different from each other, imo.
Best dunker and isn't a basketball player ...not a f'n chance we all know it's vince carter
He is definitely the new age icon of dunking.. but the best ever is Vince Carter.
Became considered? What kind of English is that ?
That makes perfect sense to me. "That's when he became considered by many to be..." I don't see anything wrong with it
To all of you who say he isn't the greatest dunker of all time let's make one thing very clear, as far as creativity and overall repertoire he absolutely is the best ever, he's Got more original and unique dunks than anyone ever period, prove me wrong I dare you
"I was dunking 3-4 hours a day, sometimes 9 hours a day" Man if I could dunk I wouldn't stop either 😂
5:42 Don't you dare scratch that beautiful van! 😠
In the NBA Vince Carter. OUTSIDE THE NBA JORDAN KILLGANON......................
Austin Reeves of Dunking
dan gross is my favorite
It's not revenge it's called being held accountable for your actions, Above what law. Seems most laws are unconstitutional bs. Once you see it you can't unsee see it
🔥🔥🔥
🏀
Stop it
❤
Ma boy........ The GREATEST dunker of All-time is Vince Carter.
You probably don't know who this dude is and what he did for dunk community(Jordan)
He can NEVER be the greatest dunker of all-time. He only dunks off 2 feet, I've seen rare clips of him dunking off 1 (left foot) but far inferior to his take of off 2 feet.
To be the best dunker you must be complete, great examples are : Guy Dupuy & Jonathan Clark. These are guys that dunk at elite level on both take offs.
That's mastering JUMPING and making dunking extra graceful.
He literally invented the win off 1 foot. Guy Dupuy is absolutely in the Goat convo. I think he’s the best live performer in dunk history
What about that French guy?
He's not the greatest dunker of all time! Jordan is ONE of the greatest dunkers of all time! There's other GREATER DUNKERS!
Who?? I'll wait
WHY THIS DUDE DONT PLAY BASKETBALL FOLKS WHY SMH
Pro dunker what is that lol
Greatest dunker is VC
Air Up There’s still numero Uno… until.
But Killganon is definitely the real Dunk inventor
Agreed. AUT and Tdub
Sorry. Dude does not have that swag when he dunks. Ain't poetry. He's creative and athletic as hell, but it just doesn't look fly when he dunks. Ngl
You don't know what you're talking about
Negative, Vince carter hes wayy better dunker, the way jordan dunks don't have authority
I remember him for bitching in dunk king
Arguably the greatest ***2 foot contest dunker, not the greatest dunker period. Title is bold at best.
outside the nba. To be consider the greatest dunker he has to make it in the nba regularly.
Not Arguable. Jordan Kilganon is the greatest dunker of all time
Cap cap cap
Who do you think is the goat dunker
Until he can jump and dunk from the free throw line, i'm not impressed
greatest dunker of all time? Are yall high?
Just say you don’t know the dunk community lol
ele e incrivel mesmo
I loved those low rim dunk battles between sod and dunkaddicts. Jordan left us in the dust by 2012 and never looked back
He’s the Goat 🐐 no doubt
Jordan Kilganon deserves respect for everything he’s done to be a great dunker. But there’s just something that’s a little . . . I don’t know . . . Off, about his dunking. I can’t quite put my finger on it. The dunks just don’t seem natural. The best way I can describe it, is that watching him dunk is like watching a body builder who’s just too strong, or who for whatever reason, just doesn’t look natural. And I think that’s how it is here. Maybe it like messed up my thinking knowing that all he was trying to do, for pretty much his whole life, was to dunk a basketball. I couldn’t get that out of my head watching him do what he does. I guess I just have to keep telling myself that he’s a dunker, not a basketball player. And for whatever reason, the dunker-not-basketball-player category just won’t compute.
I think his jump and dunk mechanics are so "perfect" in the sense of exactly biomechanically efficient to pull off his crazy concepts that you don't get the rawness and stylistic quirks you feel from freak of nature type dunkers. Kind of like the difference between how a gymnast and a bboy would execute a similar move, with the gymnast being clean and efficient but the bboy having more flavor.
That being said, his creativity makes him a well deserved GOAT dunker imo
He lacks charisma.
arguably the greatest COMPETITION DUNKER of all time... To be the greatest DUNKER one has to do so in real games at the highest of levels possible. When that NCAA or G League video of Kilganon posterizing folks comes out, then we can consider him.
He is dope, don't get me wrong.. But dunking in actual games HAS to count for something.
thanks for stating the obvious
@@DespicableBunny It wasn't obvious to the person that wrote the title. It is now.
Carry on.
@@phillipsmith3077the person who wrote the title is more qualified to speak than you are.
@@liamforbes. Speak for yourself. Liam may have a very limited basketball knowledge. I don't.
More than likely, the person that drafted the title, description, etc is a young 20 something kid working on an entry level salary. Liam is probably in that same boat. So, both your broke asses can be wrong.
@@liamforbes. Took a look at your page.. I was wrong... Liam defends this position because he TOO is a "competition" dunker.. Word of advice buddy, learn the basics/fundamentals and play some ACTUAL ORGANIZED GAMES. Games with structure and throw down on some cats.. Then come back and apologize for your ignorance.
The difference between Jordan Kil and the folks he looked up to is that they ACTUALLY did those things in games.
Sorry, not sorry, VC is STILL the greatest dunker off all time.. And it's because he has done it every way imaginable.. High School, College, Streetball, Competition, Olympics, Pro's.
Go study young boy.
