better in game dunker. kobe bryant or michael jordan?

[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.

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

no.

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?

[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.

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.

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.....

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

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....

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

Double pumping while floating sideways vs 4 defenders

1 dribble jumping sideways, pumps and dunks on defender
http://youtu.be/UPRyG5bOOtY?t=1m31s

The distance, his body is leaning sideways and he's fouled as he is still going up
http://youtu.be/UPRyG5bOOtY?t=6m54s

3 dribbles and look where he takes off from

It's still farther than anything Kobe's ever done.
