Ive seen like millions and millions of MJ dunk vids highlights and full games, so you dont need to son me. I just prefer his style over Jordans. And I love MJ as a player and everything, but when it comes to dunking I like KB more.

[VIntageNOvel]

MJ was a better leaper,
Kobe's send more chills down to your spine,
his dunk is kinda like westbrook, angry/ferocious but with better form

[G-Funk]

Kobe but not by much, this doesn't mean Jordan is not a great in game dunker, there are some dunks that Jordan did that can't be matched.

[Fresh Kid]

Michael Jordan. He was exceptionally ratifying.

[WayOfWade]

I'd say Kobe's dunks are more vicious, while MJ's seem to be more artistic. Some of MJ's dunks made it seem like he would just hang in the air forever, and there was nothing the defense could do about it.

[G-Funk]

the only 1 thing that made MJ's look crazy is the palming of the ball, dude had huge hands

[SamuraiSWISH]

That's the only one thing? Not the leaping ability, hang time, artistry and other worldly body dexterity? Not the aggressiveness to finish with finesse or power over players much larger than himself?

Shut your dumb agenda driven ass up.

As to the OP. They both had a ton of great facials as little guys dunking on big men in traffic, but MJ's superior artistry in the open court gives him the nod as the better in game dunker.

Not all at MJ's level. For instance, Kobe doesn't have MJ's leaping ability, hang time, body dexterity or his ability to palm the ball. Is Kobe athletic in his own right? Absolutely. You however made it sound like his hands were the one reason people were captivated by MJ's aerial assaults. It's quite clear he's the superior athlete and dunker to Kobe. Which means stop using Kobe's little mamba as your personal pacifier. Your agenda removes any objectivity from your posts.

:facepalm

[Inactive]

MJ.

Kobe tried to be a little bit flashier in game when he was young, but MJ was on a different level athletically. MJ's fluidity, explosiveness, and body control are unmatched in my view. He could do more with the ball after take off than probably any other player. He was more effective, and imo inspired greater awe.

lol, like I said if u are going base it on leaping ability, hang time, body dexterity than Jordan(or Kobe)wouldn't even make top 5. What ever u may think it still doesn't take the fact that Most of Jordans greatest dunks looked special because he palmed the ball. also take a good look in the mirror, cause u got Jordans shyt down ur throat

[LikeABosh]

Dwyane Wade...
Prime D Wade is the most underrated dunker ever. He was putting every big man in a poster

[G-Funk]

this is true, but he did get his shyt stuffed quite a few times

[Haks]

Its close but I will with go Kobe
MJs dunks are probably the most aesthetic shit ever
But Kobes dunks are just spine shivering
Idk if this makes sense but MJ's kinda.got boring with the whole palming tthe ball with amd hand shit.

[G-Funk]

oh look what I found, a top 10 list of Jordans dunks and guess what? he's palming the ball on every single dunk.

That alone isn't what makes them great dunks. As others have obviously stated. You act like it works against him because he can palm the ball. Which makes no sense at all.

[LosScandalous]

Kobe. They weren't that high on in game creativity back then.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P-Sw9RPllA

[Rasheed1]

Mj ... No question.. My favorite is the one where he went baseline around Starks and Oak and then banged on Ewing's dome :applause: one of the best dunks ever

[SamuraiSWISH]

Kobe is nice, don't get me wrong. Both are great in game, competitive take it to the rack on much bigger guy type dunkers. But MJ's creativity, and originality in the full court is more impressive though. With that said, Kobe had some nice windmills and 360s back in the day.

Vince
Jordan
Kobe
LeBron
McGrady
Rose
Wade

Have all been incredible in game dunkers. No disrespect to any of them. They all are massively entertaining.

I'd add Dominique, Glide and Ron Harper to that list (pre-knee injury Harp was a beast).

And of course, Old School heads like Dr. J, David Thompson and Connie Hawkins.

[SamuraiSWISH]

True, could throw Pippen, Kemp in there as well. Or Stacey Augmon. He was super athletic. Even Nique's brother Gerald has some sick athletic endeavors in the air.

The originators, for sure.

[LongLiveTheKing]

Kobe wins here there's just something about his dunks that give him and edge for me.

[sportjames23]

LOL, no. But Kobe's dunks ARE better than Lebron's.

[Sarcastic]

Nice video, but Vince Carter has them both beat by country mile.

[G-Funk]

That alone isn't what makes them great dunks. As others have obviously stated. You act like it works against him because he can palm the ball. Which makes no sense at all.

No I'm just saying that it made him that much more special.

[WolfGang]

The only reason I pick Frobe Bryant is because he had so much swaggar when he dunked. The way he twisted his body in the air was unique. No other player has ever dunked like Kobe.

I want to say that Jordan could jump higher. There is no doubt that he could jump from further away.

[Cali Syndicate]

Kobe has more of those dunks where it's like he winds up to explode on the rim. Mj had power too but a lot of his one handed dunks explode downward. Mj would get the ball as high as he could where there was less chance for anyone to block it, then send it down. Kobe's approach makes it seem like he's sending it through with more force. It that sense, Kobe's finishes just create more of a visually powerful dunk. Has to do more with the evolution of dunking though.

[Rasheed1]

Nice video, but Vince Carter has them both beat by country mile.


Vince Carter has more incredible dunks than both Kobe and Jordan... But I dont know if he has a single dunk better than Mjs best... The one over the guy in the summer games? that was incredible but it didnt have the weight of Mjs dunk on Ewing and half the Knick squad

I think overall though VC might have a case as the best in game dunker of all time

[sdot_thadon]

Though Kobe had some nasty posters as a youngun, I'd go with Mj here. The artistry and body control in the air is still 2nd to none. That flair.....

[Rasheed1]

I change my mind, Vince Carter is the greatest dunker of all time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHG1g8IFbQk)

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[deja vu]

Both great in-game dunkers but Jordan was more ferocious and more creative/artistic with his dunks. MJ had more hang time, leaping ability and larger hands.

But I think VC was the best in-game dunker.

[9erempiree]

Got to go with Bryant. His dunks are so damn ferocious. MJ was graceful and finesse. Kobe can do both.

[deja vu]

Nice video, but Vince Carter has them both beat by country mile.
VC was the best, but not by a country mile. VC had a slight edge over MJ because he's more creative and spectacular with his dunks.

[9erempiree]

LOL at the disrespect LeBron is getting for his dunks. IMO, he's easily top 5 dunker of All-Time (in game).

no.

[deja vu]

LOL at the disrespect LeBron is getting for his dunks. IMO, he's easily one of the top 5 dunkers of All-Time (in game).

Just give it a couple of more years and have nostalgia + accumulation of dunks/records.
Let's see...

VC
MJ
Dr. J
Wilkins
Kobe
J Rich

So when will he join the dunk contest? :lol

[plowking]

LOL at a Heat fan talking about PEDs.

LOL at this bandwagoner.

You said you started going for the Bulls when Jordan got there and you live in Miami.

Pipe down.

[9erempiree]

Pretty sure I said in game.

High school LeBron (McDonalds Slam Dunk winner in 2003 vs Shannon Brown and others) would beat 18 year old Kobe (who won in a weak NBA dunk contest) in a dunk off, 1on1 or anything really (minus chucking contest).

And J Rich is definitely not one of the great in game dunkers. Put the pipe down.

Same Shannon Brown that missed a couple of dunks in the NBA dunk contest?

He asked Kobe to coach him too. Brown just couldn't pull off some of those Kobe dunks.

[eliteballer]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvWy9liwC7U

I rest my case.

[9erempiree]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvWy9liwC7U

I rest my case.

That's what I love about Kobe, he would slow down on the fast breaks and actually bait the defender in trying to block him so he can facialize them. Kind of like the all star game dunk when he slowed down for Lebron and the BAM!

Let's not forget this gem.....

[andgar923]

People talking about "ferocious" need to understand that the rims were built differently back then. There's pre-Shaq rims and after-Shaq rims.

Rims had to be constructed differently after Shaq started to demolish them, they had that extra spring that allowed them to bend more, thus giving the illusion that a dunk was more powerful.

So while some of today's dunks may 'look' more powerful, there's no way one can honestly say that they actually were.

if anything dunkers from every era dunk just as hard, because well

[eliteballer]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvWy9liwC7U

I rest my case.

In his book, Phil says Kobe's more flexible. He doesn't make an analogy, allude to it, or insinuate it. He just flat out says it.

"Kobe is more flexible."

I think that's probably why he's a better dunker. He improvises better in the moment.

That dunk isn't even close to the FT line...we've debunked it before. Look where his feet are in relation to the FT line extended on the blue portion at the top of the lane....

[Sarcastic]

VC was the best, but not by a country mile. VC had a slight edge over MJ because he's more creative and spectacular with his dunks.

VC got it by a country mile because he is the unquestioned #1.

Umm how can you lose revenue? Unless you pay youtube for every user that watches the clip. Then again that wouldn't be called revenue.

More like users not wanting to provide their videos for free in a platform that bars ads.

Kobe by a mile away, and it's crazy how he is less athletic than Michael yet his dunks are way swaggier, more powerful and gets me really f*cking hard!

The one hander in fast break? No f-ing way top 25.

[NBASTATMAN]

VC got it by a country mile because he is the unquestioned #1.


This and I would Take BLake Grif over both of them as well. Mj dunked over way more people than the other guys but the stuff VC did in his prime is unmatched. Blake'S dunks are about as nasty as they come at this point in the NBA..

Mj over Kobe though.. Kobe is not a better in game dunker.. This shit isn't even close... MJ dunked on everyone.. Kobe has never dunked over a player.. I wrote over not around.. Well he has dunked over Nash and possibly wallace..

[Hoopz2332]

Im usually not that impressed with Kobe's leaping ability and his dunk contest that he won had some of the the lamest contest dunks of the modern era but..



Kobe. They weren't that high on in game creativity back then.
