Re: Official #1 Dunker Of All Time According to ISH.
David Lee. Did anyone see him take down the high school contest!? The "take off the shirt dunk"!? Come on, that's creativity at it's finest.
Seriously though, I agree with IGOTGAME. Breakaway, dunk contest dunks with no defenders are cool, but I have a lot more respect for in game dunks. The one person feared the most (in my opinion) was Jordan. Everyone was scared of getting dunked on by Jordan. Plus he made the dunk as popular as it is. I know he's not the "father" of the dunk or whatever, but his Air Jordan logo (of him dunking) became a huge icon for basketball. He's the reason my dad who's been watching ball since the 50's says "I hate the modern game, everyone just wants to dunk" (of course I argue this cliche of a statement). Plus Jordan did win back to back dunk contests, so it's not like he's only an amazing in-game dunker. I think Carter is a more creative dunker but Jordan is the "#1 Dunker of all time".
