That year that Vice Carter won the dunk contest , 2000, was great. In the few previous years before it, the contest fell off, to the point that the NBA removed it from the All Star weekend, because no one cared about it. His win, and his style of dunk, has been said to be the reason why they have kept the dunk contest going ever since.
He also has the greatest in game dunk ever, look up greatest dunk. The guy was 7ft and be jumped over him and the big man lived in depression for years and wanted to kill himself at one point, he talks about it
@@bensmiley7042 we know 😊
The Vince dunk contest will probably never be matched. Watching that live was something else. Everything first try out of nowhere.
The big difference between Dr. J and Jordan's FT line dunks is that Jordan dribbled down the floor and Dr. J didn't. It's a lot easier to get a good grip, palm the ball and run down for the dunk than it is to dribble down the floor and palm it off the last dribble while trying to hit your takeoff point.
True but Jordan could grip the ball like almost no one else. I saw one clip where he just snatches it from the air like it's a softball.
That's dogshit
If you can grip a ball, it’s not much different from doing it not dribbling to doing it while taking 2 steps off the dribble. It’s probably harder to palm the ball for longer than a few steps. I don’t agree with your “a lot easier” just because it’s easy for me to palm the ball off the dribble when I bring it into 2 hands. It’s hard for me to run while palming the ball. It’s all about the timing of when you start palming it. I don’t think the dribbling makes a big difference. It could make the timing of the jump easier if you aren’t dribbling, but it mostly depends on how you practice it. But anyway, if I can palm the ball just as easy while dribbling as running and palming it as I get close, these greats can do it better, easier. I’m sure most of the people who have played in the nba could palm the ball off of 2 steps, it’s really not that tough. Just my perspective from personal experience of course.
@@surf972 Jordan strokers will say anything to make him seem “great”, the truth is he’s overrated because he was the first icon. He brought basketball to the mainstream. Nostalgia is a drug. In the modern era he’d be an above average player
@@jleggs2304 Jordan wasn't the first icon of basketball. That's just one of the few inaccuracies in your dim-witted comment.
Spud Webb holds two distinctions 1 being the shortest dunk contest winner and 2 being the only one to win who couldn't palm the ball.
Nate can palm the ball?
8:00 - the significance of Desmond Mason's dunk was that it was off the left hand and the dunk from Jason Richardson in 4:20 was his rebuttal that gave him the win cuz not only was that off the left hand as well but it was in reverse and a self alley-oop
The 2003 dunk contest finals is a classic duel between them two!
My man is right!! The Gordan and Mascot dunk is one of the illest EVER! they both are spinning in perfect cohesion...it's like they are two gears working together in a machine with a timing belt connecting them, lol
You have to take into account that a lot of these dunks may be "regular" or "easy" for dunk contest levels nowadays but back in the day, most of these were never seen before. So the shock factor of when it was done the 1st time and people didn't realize that it was possible, made it a 50. And yes a 50 was rare. now they just give it away all the time.
Zach Levine stands out for me because, not only were his dunks elite, he does them so smoothly and gracefully, compared to everyone else. Perfect long, slender, uniform lines, floats through the air. Just a beautiful dunker. He's the one I would set apart from the rest.
For me Jordan looks more graceful in the air with the leg kick and ball pump. That style he had can never be duplicated. He didn't even run he jogged to the free-throw line and still had his head at the rim as he dunked it. Zach jumps like he's as light as a feather but he doesn't have much style to it due to his length and long arms.
facts bro didn’t show any struggle
AG was robbed. Plain and simple.
nothing compared to Aaron Gordon
I find his dunks are INSANE ...but what you call smooth and graceful, I kind of see it as a lack of style points.
To the guy on the left that doesn't think Dikembe Mutombo is one of the top 100 ever, you proved by saying that you don't know the history of the NBA.Your opinion doesn't matter, his peers the people he played against will tell you he is and that's what matters!
Strictly speaking, no one's opinion matters. But yea, that was definitely ignorant of him to say.
Can't take the ignorant guys opinion to heart
Imagine if you did that for everyone with dumb opinions day to day lol
You'd be angry always
He’s like 18 so it’s not surprising. Probably thinks Curry LeBron and Kobe are the best players in NBA history. Same guy who said Larry Bird isn’t top 20 all time
its not that deep dude 😂
That mf always and I mean ALWAYS saying dumb shit for a 5 sec. spotlight
Then everyone gets a awkward quiet, then his high pitch ass wanna play line leader
“Alright y’all let’s get to this video”.. man stfu
23:51 this dunk is underrated in terms of difficulty. He tapped his back, brought it all the way down and then back up
I had to pause just to say - Vince is without a DOUBT the best in game dunker of all time. The things Ive seen him do in person in HS was absolutely insane (I played with him at Mainland HS in Daytona - yes I’m old lol - and I’m not clout chasing, just clarifying and I’m not being biased because of that). Without a doubt in my mind the best in game dunker. He was doing Contest winning caliber dunks ON people in games. Just watch any highlights when he was on the Raptors or Nets, especially the one against the Pacers his rookie year.
Even when Jason Richardson was on the fast breaks I would be yelling pass him the ball DUNK IT DUNK IT 💀💀💀😭😂😂😂😂😂SAME thing with Gerald green oops
I think 2016 Zach got the W but Aaron also had some crazy ass dunks too. 2020 tho AG got robbed by D.Wade judging
Zach winning is fair, but Aaron 2020......
Ion know. The under the legs over a mascot was the best dunk in that contest. If Aaron would’ve used that dunk last, it would’ve been a rap. He used it too early.
What set jordan apart from a lot of the other guys in this video is that he was only a good dunker he was a major game changer shooting the ball anywhere on the court in clutch moments.
This is about the dunk contest LOL
Check out Dominique's dunk where he brings the ball up, then all the way down between his legs, then dunks behind his head facing away from the basket. Aaron Gordon and Zach Levine are amazing too!
What makes Jordan's dunk so awesome is you see him do it over 2 or 3 defenders in an actual game.
Before I watch this I will predict as a LIFE LONG NBA fan...
-V Carter best highlight dunks in 1 dunkoff
-Aaron Gordon and Z LaVine as best head to head in Toronto
Rumner up Jason Richardson vs Desmon Mason
BUT Z LaVine in my opinion were the CLEANEST dunks I believe ALL OF THEM in 1 try🤦♂️🤦♂️ CRAZY
D Wilkins as the MOST INTENSE and VICIOUS dunks looking to break the rim every dunk
You young bucks need to educate yourselves. Mutombo was a beast! The Mt Rushmore of dunkers - MJ, Wilkins, Vince Carter & ZL. H.. mention to 5'3" Spud & The Reign Man Shawn Kemp.
Jason Richardson needs to be on the list instead of MJ or Wilkins.. I’d take off MJ
24:08. This was after the end! This is overtime! They were just trying to break a tie! That’s why this is sooo epic!
Just me here.. again.. requesting a Nukes Top 5 reaction.. with y'all reacting to it, I know it will be funny as hell. Maybe sometime in October for Halloween if it's not something you wanna react to on a regular basis? Idk.
Great reaction as usual, guys!
I like having these videos on in the background or while I do stuff around the house because it reminds me of when I would just hang with my buds and watch videos. Y'all should make a video of you guys playing like Mario kart or Mario party together or something. That would be hilarious
Zach Levine Space Jam dunk is the best one in this video but #1 all time dunk not only NBA is Vince Carter's dunk over Weis.. Nothing will ever beat jumping over a 7ft tall man in the Olympics
I always love me some basketball debate 😆 keep it up guys luv the vidz
JR Rider and Dee Brown missing from this video. I'm positive they both had 50 point dunks. Rider had one of the best dunk contests ever.
Yes. Rider's 50 was the first to go between the legs.
Dee Brown highest score was like 49.3 or something
I live in LA. Seen Lakers play from days of Wolf the Stilt Chamberlain, Jerry West to Magic, Bird, Kareem, to Kobe. Met Kobe and his dad at CSULB Summer Pro League when he was 18. I worked for basketball coaches, met a lot of scouts, coaches, and players...truly great summer!
I think we’d all love to see your guys reactions to the best NBA posters of all time haha
You guys should react to Jordan Mixtape
21:00. Absolutely! We can agree on this!
Jordan keeps doing the same dunk? I think the difference with MJ was hangtime, back in the day. He didn't require theatrics, props and extras. His was pure momentum. The extras came to keep the interest. But, it was great to see those dunks live. NOBODY was flying like Mike
Marrying someone cuz they look good is nasty work. 😭😭😭😭💀🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
I went right to 2000 to see y’all appreciate the goat Vincanity
20:20. Absolutely! Do that! Grabbing a ball out of some static hand, that is spinning at a consistent speed and hight is good. Compare that to a person throwing it up in the air himself, letting it land, and grabbing it out of the air, all the while running at the rim, except it’s one person doing everything, and no pedestal to prop the ball, the ball is moving, the body is moving! Fuckn’ hell, it’s no contest! Zack’s was WAAAAY more difficult! And, honestly, more smooth!
A little history for the young bloods:
The first dunk contest took place in the 1946 season and was won by Jewish carpenter and New York Knickerbocker Mordecai Goldmann who scored a 50 on all 4 of his dunks which were all the same dunks, a basic two handed jam. As none of the other Jewish participants could complete a dunk, Mordecai had this in the bag.
You guys should check out Vince Carters mix tape. He consistently did ridiculous dunks in the middle of any game.
Lol Danielle you watch basketball?
@@joaustrino7472 I assumed women don’t watch basketball they are mostly in the kitchen cooking stuff.
@@BobbyP5985 the women I ran into or talk to currently would say what's that? Who is that? Its more women who knows more about anime than basketball
I honestly believe that Isaiah Rider should be listed as one of the best dunkers of all time. This clip alone just shows many different versions of his famous “Eastbay Funk“ dunk.
Def wasn’t all the 50’s, unless edited out. Kenny Walker, John Wall, Diallo, Kobe, Rex Chapman, Isaiah Rider, Harold Minor, Larry Nance.. That’s just a few off the top of my head we didn’t see
Gordon won that dunk contest fellas... Straight up!
Y’all need to see Vince Carter highlights from high school! Monster dunks!
How you gonna say “you don’t know who Mutumbo is and how he’s not top” Damian Lliard????🤣🤣🤣 good thing your friends finally standing up to you
When I was a kid I was very impress with this dunks ,but now I realize spud Webb dunking that height is more impressive .
This fool said Dame over Mount M. Like no dude, like HELL NO! hahaha Glad he set you straight on that :D. Don't ever go to a barber shop saying that. EVER! hahha
Must add, I too went to Mainland, and the dinks from Vince high school were mind-blowing, too bad his injuries hurt his NBA career
Jason Richardson might be top 3 imo..he slammed the ball hard
I love the fact that y'all generation get to see how we got it in from the sports to the music.
Personally I thought Gordon won over Zach but Zach winning isn't the biggest crime in NBA history or anything, that was an extremely close head to head so I can live with Zach winning, but the 2020 Dunk contest when Gordon definitely got robbed was a travesty.
P.S.S.S. The #1 dunk of all time is Dominique (has has 3 of top 5) is when he stops in air, and takes another burst (defies the laws of physics) and slams on Bob Lanier. His other top 3 all time dunk is when his SHORT SHORTS are at Larry & Kevin's head, and he comes off the FT line!!!!
...and I was a HUGE Bird and Boston fan!
15:10 What are you talking about? Jordan had the most with five, but still the best one in the game is and remains Vince Carter.
My ranking of the top 5 Dunk Contest performers…
1. Jason Richardson
2. Vince Carter
3. Zach LaVine
4. Aaron Gordon
5. Dominque Wilkins
React to Vince Carter's 2000 slam dunk dunks
Zach LaVine's between the legs free throw line dunk is the greatest dunk of all time. No debate.
Vince Carter is the goat in my opinion. His dunks changed basketball.
I'd love to see the practice videos for some of these shots.
I don't think Lavine's ever missed a dunk contest dunk attempt. That's crazy
React to Michael Jordan Historic Bulls Mixtape!
Vince Carter is the greatest dunker of all time
He’s 2nd.. Jason Richardson is number 1.. 3x champ
3:40 this Brotha Spittin facts
25:20. Again, this is after ALL the rounds! This is going in your bag after hours! It was tied! They wanted a winner, and Zack won cuz he was BETTER!
Michael Jordan’s famous “Kiss The Rim” dunk 5:46
You should react to the greatest dunker ever, NBA or otherwise. Jordan Kilganon. He does dunks that are impossible.IMPOSSIBLE! 540's, the Scorpion, a 360, behind the back, one handed dunk in ONE dunk! The ball NEVER TOUCHES HIS OTHER HAND!!!!
👍yes
one difference with these guys is who can actually dunk with style and power in a game too vs only a dunk contest
The dunk contest was still new in the 80's so they weren't dreaming up all the crazy ones yet that the later guys did.
Vince Carter is the coldest in-game dunker of all time.
Ain't gonna lie, the dunk by Josh Smith at 14:24 was nasty
Jordan had a longer running start than Dr. J. Dr. J started from 3/4 court. MJ started from the other end of the court.
Jordan dribbled, Dr. J didn't.
@@118eighteen
Nah. Jordan is 6'6", Dr. J is 6'7". Dr J had freakishly long arms and midsection, looked taller than he was. Jordan had freakishly large hands. He could literally palm the ball off the dribble or catch the ball in the post with one hand. He also had a ridiculous 50" vertical. He could jump with 7 footers and still be going up when the defender was on the way down. You could make a compilation video of just Jordan dunking on the biggest guys in the game. Manute Bol 7'7", Shawn Bradley and Ralph Sampson 7'4". And he used to straight up abuse Patrick Ewing.
Its like they dont even pay attention to the video. It is obvious MJ ran from the other side of the arena while Dr. J was 3/4 of the way.
There's a video of Jordan starting from half court and jumping from the free throw in warm ups
A lot of the 80s & 90s dunks hadn't been seen yet during those contests
Yall should do a dunk contest on a 7 ft rim.
Tripping. Lillard shits on Mutombo all day.
Dude with Black T-Shirt is 110% on it. Mj did FT line dunk about a dozen times (missing many) and still always got 50's. Mote about popularly than ENTERTAINMENT and EXECUTION!!!
Do a video on Spud Webb
Spud Webb wasn't no joke
The reason I think Zack beat Aaron in the dunk contest. Zack had to follow each one of those insane 50 dunks and he did it through the entire contest with equally difficult 50 dunks. It was insane. Should’ve been a tie
Nah bro, Lavine was amazing but that contest should have went to Gordon. Two of Lavine’s dunks were just less impressive versions of Gordon’s dunks.
He was doing the same dunks from different spots. They all INSANE, HOT ASS DUNKS; however you should get penalized for doing the same types of dunks over and over. AG did dunks we never seen before. He def got robbed.
@@donobedabest8446 same dunk from different spots? I don’t think you remember that dunk contest well lol
@@vinnypaolini9116 I think the opposite. Gordon knew where the ball would be..the mascot put it right there. Lavine is tossing it up catching it off the bounce. So many things could go wrong plus he had to follow up those insane dunks. Probably top 3 contest if not #1.
@@donobedabest8446 I hate mascot/bring out your buddy dunks. I think it’s more creative having to create out there on your own. Idk if there’s many Lavine dunks that were duplicates. Some similar but all pretty insane. That’s 2 years of pretty incredible imaginative dunks. But using your penalizing idea..Jordan may have never won a contest.
The Jordan ones look weak coz we have seen them many times but for people back then, seeing that was rare for them
Finally, I put Zach #3, Vince #4, and then everyone else!
Dominique would've won on a neutral court. Jordans feet were over the line. Not to mention, he did that same dunk twice in the same contest. A dunk that Dr. J. had done before.
Even so but how many people can do that dunk and actual execute it nicely
@@joaustrino7472 but twice come on cuh you can’t do the same dunk twice
@@cnanadatoronto Nique did multiple win mills and MJ did have the best dunk of the night
@@cnanadatoronto And Jordan missed it on his first attempt the second time he did the ftl dunk. Nique was robbed. Even MJ admitted later on that Nique should have won.
@@cano21 Dominique was absolutely robbed.
Vince was so much fun to watch with the Raptors
You know Vince was the first betweener in history..at least in the dunk contest...that shit changed the competition and dunkers in the league forever
I remember most of those dunk contests
Vince Carter GOAT dunker
Never seen a better dunk contest since Zack LaVine & he’d still win today if he wanted to 💯
Need to review the Lavine/Gordon 2016 Dunk Contest.
Lotta great dunkers in here, but I’ll tell you this much y’all wanna see some dunks watch Vince, Carter’s dunk mixtapes that dude got some dunks and I make a little slide out of your seat going. Damn.
Mjs head is so close to the rim on those free throw dunks vs everyone else including LaVine
They should have shown Dominique's dunks slowed down and from different angles. He was the gold standard at the time. And you do know that Spud Webb is like 5'2"!
The dunk contest was great when the games great players participated
Vince Carter all time dunking GOAT, but Dominique Wilkins gotta be the runner up all time dunking GOAT
You guys should react to best dunks of Jordan Kilganon
Y’all all missed the fact of what Jordan does with ball in air, i mean his free throw dunk is always no. 1 bc he pump faked and still dunked it ain’t nobody been able to replicate it even close, Lavine ehh he had to carry an cradle the ball but all he doing is MJ and Vince carter dunks but I guess just shows how young and uncultured that one dude on left is
To me, Vince Carter greatest in game dunker & greatest dunk contest dunker. But damn Zach Lavine catching up quick.
I remember spud as a college player and this dunk contest.
It’s a crime that Aaron Gordon jumping over Tacko Fall can never be grouped with these dunks
21:51. Greatest slam ever, but it was a push off!
That was the best dunk in dunk contest history. Unfortunately the judges can't give more than a 10. That was a different 50 than any other 50 in that 2016 contest, or any other contest.
Alright, so the 2016 contest between Zach and Gordon was insane. I feel like a couple of Gordon's dunks were the most impressive of the contest, but the scores are capped at 50, and if you watch Lavine's dunk's again you can't really be mad at the judges giving him 50s! It was just unlucky for Gordon that some of the best dunks in NBA dunk contest history went to waste against Lavine that year.
Vince Carter for sure
Do best IN GAME dunks
They practice this stuff off season😎
React to Kobe Bryant dunks and his dunk contest in 1997
Jordan 6
Wilkins 5
Lavine 5
Gordon 4
Dwight Howard 4
IM A HUGE WARRIORS FAN SINCE DAY 1 AND I WILL BE 40 BUT JAY RICHARDSON WAS A THE FIRS TO DO CRAZY UNDER THE LEG DUNKS!!!IF HE NEVER TORE HIS ACL TWICE!!!! HE WOULD OF BEEN HALL OF FAME NO DOUBT!!!!HE HAD A 48 VERTICAL AT 6 FT 6!!!!!!😎🚬🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥watch jay rich highlights😎🚬🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Vince gametime dunks are also legendary!
Ain’t nothing like sports trash talk between homies.
Mj dunk gon be top 5 top 10 always
I'm the ultimate MJ fan and an all-time Carolina Tarheels fan so I love Vince Carter too, I'd say that Vince is the best dunker overall over Dominique and MJ considering his in game and contest dunks, but the best contest dunker was Zac Lavine bar none. He had like 6 50 pt dunks!
