Re: better in game dunker. kobe bryant or michael jordan?
Got to go with Bryant. His dunks are so damn ferocious. MJ was graceful and finesse. Kobe can do both.

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.

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?

You said you started going for the Bulls when Jordan got there and you live in Miami.

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.

Let's not forget this gem.....

Re: better in game dunker. kobe bryant or michael jordan?
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

"Kobe is more flexible."
I think that's probably why he's a better dunker. He improvises better in the moment.

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

Double pumping while floating sideways vs 4 defenders
http://youtu.be/UPRyG5bOOtY?t=1m16s
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.
