Dunking Data For 1988-1993: MJ is the Goat In-Game Dunker for Wing Players

[3ball]

.
Wing Players With at Least 1 Season of 100+ Dunks


1988 - 1994[COLOR="White"]................[/COLOR]2001 - 2014

Michael Jordan............ Kevin Durant
Dominique Wilkins........ Lebron James
Clyde Drexler.............. Dwayne Wade
Scottie Pippen............ Andre Iguodala
Ron Harper................. Kobe Bryant
Richard Dumas............ Tracy McGrady
Derrick McKey ............ Carmelo Anthony
Stacey Augmon........... Rudy Gay
Roy Hinson................. Shawn Marion
Chris Morris................ Richard Jefferson


This is how the dunkers match up - not bad for the previous era, especially since it is a much shorter time period... Penny got 89 dunks his rookie year in 1994 when his stats were lower across the board compared to subsequent years, and Grant Hill was likely a 100+ per year dunker as well if we had pre-injury data for him.

The 92-93 guide arrived, so here are the dunks for 91-92:

I know PHILA wanted the Sixers/opponents plus minus numbers. I got them from the 92-93 guide, and it turns out the 95-96 and 96-97 guides have those limited numbers as well:

"Plastic Man" with 101 dunks...?

I was more surprised that Blue Edwards was playing enough to snag 91. I liked his dunk style. Didn't realize he was nearly a 30 minute guy that early on.

Sidenote, Stacey had an underrated 360 attempt in the '92 contest. I mean, I guess it's properly rated because he missed twice, but it would have be sweet if he'd put it down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CYSU5JVKmU#t=0m24s

There was no zone in MJ's era

As soon as you beat your man it was a guaranteed dunk

Son, sit your ass down. Grown folks are talking.

1.) 3-Pt-Floor-Spreaders + Defensive 3 Seconds = Wide Open Paint & Late Rim Protection







2.) MJ Wouldn't Need to Be as Great or Do These Shots in Today's Game/Open Paint..

3ball - It's probably a lot of work so don't feel obligated if you don't want to do it, but what are your top 10 MJ dunks going baseline, and going middle?

Thanks, this along with 3ball's plus/minus data from 1991, 1993, etc. will provide a better statistical picture of Barkley in his prime years.

Definitely. Would be interested in seeing the Sixers plus/minus for those other seasons.

I'm 90% sure you're a troll, but just in case:

Jordan dunk vs 2-2-1 trapping Zone (1992)

Jordan dunk vs 3-2 Zone (1992)

Jordan dunk vs full court press/trapping zone (1991)

I'm 90% sure you're a troll, but just in case:

Jordan dunk vs 2-2-1 trapping Zone (1992)

Jordan dunk vs 3-2 Zone (1992)

Jordan dunk vs full court press/trapping zone (1991)

That 2nd dunk where he beats the 2-2-1... he's off-ball, then he's on-ball, then he goes back off-ball to beat it... look how much more physical the defense is and how much more congested the paint is... it's like night and day.

It's like MJ just keeps working and working relentlessly until he finds a way to score.

On that 3rd dunk - As the bulls are getting up court through the full-court press, each guy that catches the ball is immediately met with a double team - it happens 4 times as the Knicks are scrambling like crazy... it's amazing... and it's amazing the level of defense you can play when you can be truly physical and don't have to extend out far defensively to guard a bevy of 3-point shooters.
