The NBA's All-Time Greatest Signature Dunks | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

An excerpt from The Book of Basketball...

"MJ was better at controlling his body in the air and creating impossible shots, but 'Nique was the best in-game dunker of his generation. Nobody dunked on people as consistently and violently; he made it an art form and sought out victims.

"His single most identifiable dunk was the one where he jumped in traffic off two feet, brought the ball up like he was going to dunk it right away, brought it back down again to buy himself an extra split second as the defender fell back to earth, then ripped it through the hoop. He did this over and over and over.

"Nobody blocked a 'Nique dunk. It just didn't happen."

The best dunker of all time with a move that couldn't be stopped. He had to earn the top spot on this list.
