If someone were to ask you who is the best dunker in the world right now, not only in the NBA, who would it be. In my opinion it would have to be Tdub from TeamFlightBrothers, 5'9, dude can get his head level to the rim, he has the highest vertical I've ever seen, not even a prime Vince was as good as him.

Who's that dude from France. Kidour Ziani or something. One of his dunk vids shows Vince on the sideline with his jaw dropping. Smaller ballers have the edge in coordination, allows them to do more things if they have the ups.

Kadours the man but he doesn't have the finesse, in all of his videos we never see him do a windmill or go between the legs because he doesnt have finesse like guys like Vince or Tdub, thats why I give the edge to Tdub, I mean watch the first dunk in this video, FLIPPING CRAZY http://youtube.com/watch?v=SfdWxUwJAYo

imo dunking is all about in game dunks, so for me the GOAT dunker has to be an NBA player. you've got to dunk on the highest level to be the GOAT. VC is probably the best dunker of all time.

Every athletic freak worldwide can learn to jump high. Dunking is all about ingame, it's all about dunking against competition. Best dunker in the world? To me it's still Carter against Weis, regardless of the shadow of his former self he's since become.

Difficult. I guess most NBA stars just wouldn't give a damn, so it'd be a foreigner trying to prove something or some rad streetballer. Probably that "French guy" again.

Of all of the vids I've seen Ziani is def. my favorite. In terms of hops, he is the best at 56' standing vertical which is the highest ever. He couldn't do some stuff he tried the 720 but couldn't get it, but he is just more fun to watch than air up there.

I don't know if he'd win a dunk competition now I mean he's gotta be in his mid-30's by now.

Please watch these 2 videos and compare Tdub to Ziani

I even think Tdub has at least 5 inches higher vert than Ziani

In-game dunker: Vince Carter or Shawn Kemp (Kemp had some nasty in-game dunks where you're just like "Oh god he got owned hard")

Out-of-game dunker: Ziani the Frenchman

Sorry, man. Ziani is better. Ziani is many times more creative with his dunks and has longer hang time.

I will have to go with Ziani, even though the OP is trying so desperatly hard to get someone to validate his opinion that tdub is the best.

Well Ziani get his head level with the ring. Unless it is a lowered version, I think it's safe to say Ziani got higher vert.

If anyone's into brute force, Shaq is up there. He was like a slow train mauling down cows. It's just so enjoyable to watch.

My favourite in game dunker is Shawn Kemp hands down. That guy was straight up powerful with his jams.

Though best dunker ever. It has to be James White or the Air Up There.

Heres the Air Up There attempting double between the legs. Will be interesting to see if he can get it.

Kadour Ziani and Mr. 720 are some of the most impressive dunkers i've seen on youtube so far.

T-Dub, Abdoul Bamba, Springs, & James White are also very impressive.

James White Without doubt. He can take off from two feet behind the foul line and dunk. I've never seen anyone else do that.

C'mon Lebron23, Nate Robinson? The best dunker in the world? He's not even the best dunker in the NBA. You'll have a hard time finding someone who'll agree with you.

I'll put up Taurian Fountenette up against anyone in a dunk comp. He pulls shyt nobodies even seen.

Put me in the "dunking is only spectacular when you do it in the game" camp.

I'm a basketball fan, not a ballet fan.

I would take MJ and DR. J over Nate Robinson any day...but his vertical is impressive.
