is DJ the GOAT dunking C? (3ball level gifs warning)

[SugarHill]

The only centers in his class are Shaq, Dwight and David Robinson imo

I think if we're talking from a capability and execution standpoint, Shaq has to be at the top. He could dunk on anyone at any time and there was little you could do about it. I don't mention Dawkins because I don't really see how he separates himself from Shaq as I think Shaq did everything he did to a greater degree.

Dwight is probably the greatest contest dunker but McGee isn't far behind if at all. DJ has the finesse and tricks to compete with them but Howard has the hardware and McGee innovated with his reach.

I think DJ has the greatest combination of power and aesthetically pleasing dunks the position has ever seen but it might be too early to crown him. There's nothing robotic about his motions at all but he loses no power. His alleys are second to none and I even think he's a better dunker than Blake. His style is a combination of Dwight, Amare and Tyson Chandler. He dominated the year in terms of dunks. I think he will go down as the greatest dunking C of all time.

No Jordan comparison dunks? Disappointing.

[Young X]

Yes.

[BasedTom]

Dwight is probably the greatest contest dunker

for centers. :confusedshrug:

dwight was good even if you didn't like the superman dunk (it was really cool at the time)

[Akrazotile]

Shaq is at the top for centers IMO for the sheer power of his dunks. Dude brought down and shattered backboards like nothing.

But yeah, DJ is def the most graceful dunker at the C position that I'm aware of.

[Droid101]

Pretty obvious really.

[KembaWalker]

Just because this is a DJ thread

"DeAndre Jordan finishes season at 70.97% FG shooting, second best in NBA history for a single season"

:applause: :applause: :applause:

Minor point: If he is it isn't too early because dunking is something players only get worse at as they get older.

[L.Kizzle]

Shaqs budfy Javele McGee is better

[Real Men Wear Green]

Shaqs budfy Javele McGee is better
He appears to be Sprewelling his way out at the age of 27. Why hasn't this guy signed with anyone yet?

[Thechosen1]

he needs to be in the contest next year

[Fudge]

Ama're fuccing Stoudemire, you BUFFOONS!

[L.A.Showtime]

I love DJ's dunks. Smooth and extremely powerful.

nice

That's Karl Malone there (rookie year most certainly)... Dawkins was a bad man when he went to the rim...

[Darius]

Yes, I think he is.

His grace/fluidity at his size hasn't been seen that I can remember.

He has the LBJ freak genetics where he has never had an injury despite his size/play style.

It's bizarre that he moves so well but can't post up at all.

[SugarHill]

Has any other C pulled off a windmill as good as Ryan Hollins over here? or PF for that matter?

Wilt is the GOAT dunking C. According to his zealous fans, Wilt is so strong he could dunk on anybody easily IF HE WANTED TO. The reason he didn't was he was so strong that he could break someone's toe with the ball during a dunk. Some old dude saw it so it must be true, never doubt your elders. :bowdown:

is that saying much? :oldlol:

that crown goes to chocolate thunder.
