No dunks by Charles Barkley when he was a 76er? Man, I wish I can find a good thunder 2 handed dunk from him. I'll take any dunk by him, though I do like a lot of these ones.

Goukas - you're right, thats a travesty. I can't really think of one defining dunk - but he had some amazing dunks during his 76er days. People forget how incredible an athelete he was. NBA will never see another 6-4 power forward. Never.

I think there is a new dunk that should go right to the top of this list....Lebron's dunk vs. the Wizards Saturday in Game 1 of this year's playoff was off the hook. Check that dunk out and get it on the top of this list! Also, you gotta put Lebron's dunk on Damon Jones and dunk on Delonte West a few years back should make the cut as well. Check them all out on Youtube

Its up there. I think the Delonte West might be better, so feel free to put that up as well. I just figured the stage (playoffs) has to count for something. Although he had a crazy dunk against the Pistons last year too. Theres also a youtube clip of him going between his legs and dunking in a high school game that is unbelievable as well. There are a lot of dunks that could be added. No Nique. No Spudd Webb. Kenny Smith had a crazy between his legs off the backboard dunk one year that I can't find on youtube. Hopefully someone will upload it.
