How exactly are dwight howards in game dunks exciting. Most of them are just power dunks.
With all the hype and highlights..Blake Griffin
[QUOTE=WillyJakk]As effortlessly as Blake Griffin and Dwight Howard dunk (I think they're the best in game dunkers) BUT... for me the most exciting in game dunker is Derrick Rose:

The explosiveness this guy gets when he jumps is insane.
I just like his "body language" better when he dunks (if that makes any sense), like he's angry at the rim.
Reminds me of how Latrell Sprewell used to attack the rim all mad as hell.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I see Spree in him too.

Its exciting, just overpowering everybody, then just jumping so super high looking down into the rim and smashes it with the fury of an angry god, same goes for Blake Griffin. Lebron James aswell, but he does it more from the perimeter, of the dribble then explodes by and overpowers anybody, then takesoff that bionic left leg and he goes up so high, cocks the ball way back and then smashes it down so hard like the rim just killed his family, anybody who dares stand in the way gets posterised, which brings extra excitement.
There is a reason Dwight, Blake and Lebron lead most often in dunks made.
currently? clearly blake griffin and it aint even close :no:

He specifies IN THE LEAGUE. IN THE NBA. He's referring to current players RIGHT NOW obviously.
I'm sure it's been said, but to me it's Rose and Griffin.
^:lol
derrick rose is the more exciting dunker to me. Here are some from his repitaur of dunks that some of you guys may have never seen or remembered. not mentioning his most popular ones, dragic, elevator dunk, 1 arm jesus in atlanda, skills challenge. joel anthony.
[B]half court back swipe vs portland[/B]

Shaq was still slammin em down last year..
Rose, then Griffin, then Wade, though I can't stand him.
[QUOTE][I was a big Raptors Vince Carter fan and he wasn't racking up nasty dunks nearly as often. More creative dunker? Yes. Better dunk contest dunker? Yes. Better leaper? Yes. Better in game, contact dunker? No. I mean Griffin already has a 25 minute highlight film of Clippers plays only already and he was a ROOKIE/QUOTE]
:facepalm , you OBVIOUSLY WERE NOT a Big raptors Vince carter fan.
[QUOTE=Clippersfan86]With all due respect... LEARN TO READ. He's asking for the most exciting dunker in the NBA. Not who is most exciting dunker in NBA history. BTW Vince Carter during all star weekend said Griffin is no question a better, more consistent in game dunker than he was, but he would pick himself to win in a dunk contest (obvious reasons).

Hey, moron. Learn to read? Let's go over the thread title: "Who is the most exciting in-game dunker in the NBA?"
My argument is that Vince Carter is still in the NBA... therefore, because Vince Carter > Blake Griffin in terms of exciting in-game dunks (moreover, Vince > anyone else in the NBA) he is the most exciting in-game dunker in the NBA. Granted, the vast majority of those exciting in-game dunks didn't come in the 2010-2011 season like Blake Griffin's have.
If you want to debate that Blake Griffin is the more exciting in-game dunker, then go for it--it's clearly a matter of opinion. But don't end up questioning my literacy; you look like a tool. Ironic how this discussion occurred when you failed to read my initial post correctly.
westbrook. that dunk on battier was prob the poster of the year (by someone other than griffin :lol )
but of course nobody knows that because rose gets all the hype.

I think your problem goes much deeper than ability to read and goes to simple comprehension problems. Most exciting current dunker doesn't mean to pick a player who was the top dunker nearly a decade ago. In the OP it's implied that he means RIGHT NOW. That would be like me picking Jason Richardson.... and explaining that in 03 or w/e he was the best dunker.
I can care less about your personal preferences, just don't be a douchebag and pick a player who rarely dunks anymore.

So you don't take Vince Carter's own word seriously when he called Blake a better, nastier in game dunker than himself? Vince was no doubt the superior dunker. Thing is..... his most famous dunks were his Fred Weis dunk in the Olympics and his dunks in the dunk contest.
Sure he was incredible and was a human highlight reel. He wasn't in the top 3 every single night pretty much like Blake was though. I understand now media is much easier to access but I watched the Raptors a lot dude. I loved the squad of Alvin Williams, Junkyard Dog, Charles Oakley, VC, Mo Peterson, Antonio Davis and those guys. I even watched when T-Mac was on there.

Oh, how convenient for your argument that you put this in... now it all makes sense. Wait a second; that's not what the thread "implied". Read the title: "Who is the most exciting in-game dunker in the NBA?"
Vince Carter is [U]in the NBA[/U]. What other qualifications does he need if you've seen half of this guy's career dunks? Maybe his most exciting ones weren't in this past year like Griffin's rookie season, but we aren't discussing "Who had the most exciting dunks this year?"

Such bad logic dude. MOST EXCITING IN GAME DUNKER IN THE NBA. It naturally implies CURRENT or RIGHT NOW. Let me ask you a question bud. If someone said who's the best player in the game would you say Kobe? Because Kobe recently was the best player and he's still in the league? No right? Exactly my point. You're logic has to be the worst I've seen on ISH and that's saying something. I should find the Derp Shark GIF for you.
If someone says who's the best shooter in the NBA... I'm going to say Peja Stojakovic. Why? Because he's still in the league! He may not be the best shooter as of last season but he was nearly a decade ago. I have to be being trolled right now because you can't possibly be this mentally challenged.
Man just quit it. It's all about how someone looks at the question. How does it hurt if someone mentions an older player. If you wanted it to be strictly someway then be specific.
[QUOTE=MichaelCheazley]Man just quit it. It's all about how someone looks at the question. How does it hurt if someone mentions an older player. If you wanted it to be strictly someway then be specific.[/QUOTE]
This isn't a matter of perception. Like I said... if I asked you who the best shooter in the game is.. would it be logical to say Peja just because he's on a roster and USED to be the best? Even though he's not the best and rarely plays anymore? Look at the best dribbler thread. Nobody was retarded enough in that thread to name a past player or older player. It's just not logical. I'm not trying to box the dude into picking anyone specific but picking 99 Carter is just stupid to me.
HOW DOES IT HURT THE CONVERSATION??? Why are you so defensive about it? Is it cause one of the more obvious answers is Blake griffin and with the pool of all time dunkers being larger he'd get less mentions?
[QUOTE=MichaelCheazley]HOW DOES IT HURT THE CONVERSATION??? Why are you so defensive about it?[/QUOTE]
Hey if you guys want to give responses to a thread that are completely unrelated that's on you. I just didn't understand why he was justifying it as logical when it clearly wasn't. I'm all for thinking outside the box and all that.... but saying Vince Carter is so left field considering he hasn't been an elite dunker for 5 years.
You act like all of the responses on this forum make sense. Browse the threads around a little.Heck there was even friggen porn in this thread why not berate that person? Atleast there is some context in posting older dunkers.
[QUOTE=MichaelCheazley]You act like all of the responses on this forum make sense. Browse the threads around a little.Heck there was even friggen porn in this thread why not berate that person?[/QUOTE]
So we need to reduce the quality of ISH further? Maybe I was a bit harsh about it..... but It's just a pet peeve when people don't read the question and answer with something completely left field. I've made similar mistakes but rather than defend them when called out... I say my bad.
Im sorry but what kind of question is this? I know we all have different preference and idea of what is exciting. But I think i can safely say that generally speaking we are all entertained by the in-game dunks of Blake Griffin; and he is doing it on a regular basis.
It's like the kings commenter always says, "if you dont like that you dont like NBA basketball!" Not that i dont like the dunks of wade and rose, blake just brings a level of dunking significantly higher than the available competition.

title didnt say "current nba player" it said "in the nba" vince carter is still in the nba. his answer isnt completely riduculous...not enough to bitch and moan and cry over, its understandable and possibly legit
Nah, Clippersfan86 is correct.
Saying, [I]"Who is currently the most exciting dunker in the league?" [/I]is more or less the same thing as saying, [I]"Who is the most exciting dunker in the league?"[/I] within the context of this discussion. [I]"Is"[/I] is the [B]present[/B] tense form of the verb, and [I]"in the league"[/I] rather obviously refers to the [B]current [/B]league. Correct? So it's pretty reasonable to assume that we're talking about the [B]current[/B] players and their [B]current [/B]dunking abilities.

Glad to see logic here. It's pretty obvious Jeff wanted us to base it off current dunking and not a decade ago.

you just proved me right.
its natural to assume we are talking about the present. But the title doesnt directly state "presently" or "currently" and its up for assumption. The poster assumed it was anyone in the nba and vince carter is still in the nba.
You kind of have to be a half whit yourself to get all bent over something understandable.
How about you use common sense Nathan. If his intent was to include players who were known for dunking a decade ago.. He would of mentioned an all time or best of last decade type list. Change the question a bit and you'll see the logic failure.
Who is the best shooter in the NBA? If I said Michael Redd or Peja Stojakovic based on the fact that 5 plus years ago they were among the best shooters.. Would that be logical to you? Given the material you post I'm guessing you'll answer yes unfortunately.

If one answers [I]"Vince Carter"[/I] to this thread's question, they are saying [I]"[U]Vince Carter is the most exciting in-game dunker in the NBA[/U]."[/I]
But that's not what klee actually means. He means that VC [B]was[/B] or [B]has been[/B] the most exciting dunker at some point in the past; I.E. in his prime. [B]Is[/B], [B]was[/B], and [B]has been[/B] might seem interchangeable to you, but they really aren't. [B]Is[/B] describes the [U]present[/U]. It's illogical to answer a question referring to the [U]present[/U] with an answer that refers to a [U]present[/U] player's [U]past[/U] abilities that simply no longer exist today.
Just drop it already...

"Who is the most exciting in-game dunker [B]in the NBA[/B]?"
it doesnt say "ever" "currently" "right now" "the past decadge" "was" it says [B]"in the nba"[/B] which is vague so most people assume it is the present....the poster assumed it was any player right now in the nba which is understandable. For you to not understand that and bitching at the guy you must be stupid yourself.
im not dissagreeing with you that the question is meant to ask who is right now the best in game dunker in the nba. My point is u shouldnt get bent on his answer because its not as incorrect as you think it is.
How the hell is this thread six pages long? What are all these paragraphs all about?
Blake Griffin.
Next.
[QUOTE=nathanjizzle]the poster assumed it was any player right now in the nba which is understandable.[/QUOTE]
It's illogical to think this thread is referring to "any player right now" and then give an answer based on past performances that haven't existed for years. That is what you aren't comprehending. You either think the question is talking about the past or present, but you don't decide upon the present and then use the past as criteria. It is not logical.
You should answer Clipperfan's question:
