When Vince Carter dunks it looks like clear water symmetrically flowing with gentle ripples and swirls towards an apex, which upon being reached releases a massive tsunami to the nadir.
When anyone else dunks it looks like theyre placing a ball inside a hoop accompanied by unnecessary bodily contortions.
Seeing that Jason Richardson highlight make me wonder who still has the balls to do a 360 dunk nowadays? I know Blake can throw a vicious one down, but any in game 360s?

Signed in to say this is the best post I've read on ISH in a long time
Even this old version of Shaq we see now gets more than one dunk a game (43 dunks in 36 games so far). In his prime he got like 3/4+ dunks per game easily.. It didn't matter who was in his way.
Yeah, he's always been huge and strong and dunking may be easier for him than it is for guards like VC (greatest guard dunker of all time). But that doesnt mean that he does not qualify for the best in game dunker ever... Because I don't think there has ever been a better in game dunker than him. I'm pretty sure that nobody in the league has recorded as many dunks as Shaq - neither in total or per game/season averages. He threw down some nasty dunks too and was very ahtletic.
1. Vince Carter
2. Michael Jordan
3. Blake Griffin
4. Shawn Kemp
5. Dominique Wilkins
All star weekend Vince Carter though said this.
"Blake Griffin is a better in game dunker than I ever was... but he will have to prove himself in the dunk contest" so goes to show how subjective this is. No it's not too soon for me to put Blake at the 3 spot btw. Dude already has a top 20 career dunk list in his rookie year that smashes on almost every player in league history.
