Dunks:
1. Vince Carter - lockout season, double pump under the hoop on the whole Pacers team.
2. John Starks on someone in the playoffs - 94
3. Baron Davis on KG - 2001

Shots:
1. Sean Elliot - 99 falling out of bounds makes the game winner
2. Jerry West - 70 footer to send playoff game to OT in 1970 finals
3. Reggie Miller (OK, it's a couple of shots) 8 points in 8 seconds
(edit) 4. Dr. J changing direction in midair for the sweet layup.
5. Stephon Marbury throwing it under Divac's arm catching in midair and shooting, it missed of course, but who cares

dunks

3. vince dunking on theo ratliff
2. vince backbord alley-oop windmill in charity game
1. vince dunking over weiz at the olympics

have to think about the shots

For me, it would be:

DUNKS

1. Michael Jordan, free throw line (1985, 1987, twice in 1988 dunk contests)
2. Jason Richardson's between-the-legs dunk (2003 dunk contest)
3. Michael Jordan's windmill off Isiah Thomas' pass of the backboard (1989 All-Star Game)

SHOTS

1. Michael Jordan's last shot as a Bull (Game 6 1998 Finals)
2. Michael Jordan, "The Shot" in Cleveland (1989 Playoffs)
3. Michael Jordan's in-out-and-around layup against New Jersey (circa 1990)

With the dunks I mean during NBA games..no Slam Dunk Contests

In that case:

DUNKS

1. Michael Jordan's windmill off Isiah Thomas' pass of the backboard (1989 All-Star Game)
2. Michael Jordan's dunk on Ewing after getting past Starks and Ewing (1991 Playoffs - carried ball or not, I liked the dunk )
3. Can't think of another offhand, but let's just say another MJ dunk.

For me, it would be:

DUNKS

1. Michael Jordan, free throw line (1985, 1987, twice in 1988 dunk contests)
2. Jason Richardson's between-the-legs dunk (2003 dunk contest)
3. Michael Jordan's windmill off Isiah Thomas' pass of the backboard (1989 All-Star Game)

SHOTS

1. Michael Jordan's last shot as a Bull (Game 6 1998 Finals)
2. Michael Jordan, "The Shot" in Cleveland (1989 Playoffs)
3. Michael Jordan's in-out-and-around layup against New Jersey (circa 1990)

Jordan fan Andrew?

Not at all.

Dunks

1) A bunch of Jordan dunks
2) Vince Carter's reverse on the Pacers
3) ummm to be different either Scottie Pippen on Ewing (dunno when it was though) or Penny on Ewing in 1995 (made top 10 dunks that year), or Michael Finley on the Admiral during his rookie season.

Shots

1) A bunch of MJ shots
2) Erick Murdock (with the Bucks) saving the ball out of bounds, flicking it over his shoulder before he steps over the baseline, and nothing but net.
3) I'd have to agree with Andrew about MJ's inside outside inside outside inside outside inside outside layup on the Nets...

what about Ricky Davis over Steve Nash this season? that dunk was surely the best of the season

2) Erick Murdock (with the Bucks) saving the ball out of bounds, flicking it over his shoulder before he steps over the baseline, and nothing but net.

I remember that shot. I also remembered Isaiah Rider chasing the ball out of bounds and throwing it blindly over his shoulder, swishing the three pointer from about 28 feet. Great shots...but since MJ is my favourite player, I gave his highlights preference.

1. Shawn Kemp - The one where he throws it down then points to the poor bugger on the floor.

2. Jordan - All of them.

3. KG - Against Houston where he grabs the board and pulls the ball back from below his waist and dunks on the way down.

1. Jordan - Shot against Cleveland.

2. Jordan - Shot against Utah.

3. Jordan - Shot against Cavs in the late 80's he jumps from one end of the key through 3 or 4 players and lays it up on the other side.

Too many good shots and dunks to pick just three but these are the ones I thought of first.

Dunks:
1. t-mac throwing the ball on the board and catches it and DUNKS IT!!(against toronto)
2. ricky davis dunk over steve nash. SWEET!!!
3. kobe bryant reverse dunk against t-wolves in the playoffs.

Dunks
1. Either of Dawkins' backboard breakers or the one where Shaq brought the whole damn hoop structure down.
2.

Shawn Kemp - The one where he throws it down then points to the poor bugger on the floor.

Yeah, I think it was on Carlos Rogers or Chris Gatling, can't remember, but it was huge!!
3. Vince Carter over Weis in the Olympics

Shots
1.

Jerry Wesy - 70 footer to send playoff game to OT in 1970 finals

2.

Erick Murdock (with the Bucks) saving the ball out of bounds, flicking it over his shoulder before he steps over the baseline, and nothing but net.

3.

I also remembered Isaiah Rider chasing the ball out of bounds and throwing it blindly over his shoulder, swishing the three pointer from about 28 feet.

4. There's also a great one from halfcourt from Malik Sealy(RIP) I think. He chased it out of bounds and flicked around his back and swished it.

from 80's until the present
dunks in no particular order

* any 'the human highlight film' wilkins dunks. the dunks he did in games were just as amazing as the ones he did in slam dunk comps
* the dunk- dr. j's dunk on michael cooper
* gp's alley oop to kemp where kemp dunks on one side of the rim and his momentum carries him to other side (while he's hanging on the rim )

special consideration:
*pip dunking on ewing in the '94 playoffs where ewing ends up between his legs and ends up pushing ewing off him


shots in no particular order

*iverson breaking MJ's ankles
*bird falling out of bounds underneath his basket, throws the shot up over the backboard and sinks it
*hakim faking the admiral out of his shoes in the rockets/spurs conference final

special consideration:
*the shot of kobe bryant getting booed by his hometown, philly.

Dunks...there are too many to choose from...

Against the Hornets I think so, although when overlooked by TNT they found out it was released too late.

ahhh just remembered a couple of dunks:
-A young Shawn Kemp (possibly rookie), throws down a monster of a double pump reverse on the Knicks I think... anybody seen this?
-Dominique Wilkins as a Spur in 96/97, tip dunk...
