So what's everyone's favorite dunk of all-time that happened in a game?

I've got 2. One was John Starks' dunk over and through Michael Jordan and Horace Grant in (I believe) the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and the Bulls. That was a poster dunk.

And another one I liked was back in the 1994 Western Conference Semifinals between the Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns when Kevin Johnson tomahawk dunked over Hakeem (known as "Akeem" at that time I believe) Olajuwon. That was just too sweet.

I liked Michael Jordan's dunk from the foul line...

The foul line dunk is definitely legendary.

I like it, and a dunk by Julius Erving (Dr. J) that you see a lot on TV. He kind of curls his arm in a cool way.

Yeah I think I remember seeing that dunk from Dr. J. I think that was a "windmill" dunk.

Vince Carter's one from last year's dunk competition when he hung from the rim with his arm... that wasn't a very spectacular dunk, but it was awesome to see...

Acutally, make that ALL of Vince Cater's dunks at the 2000 skills competition!!!!

Yeah and during the games I could go for anyone of Vince Carter's 360 dunks.

Mine will probably be Vince Carter's dunk over France in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. I guess you can say Carter is just a brilliant dunker. Jordan's free-throw dunk is also spectacular, Jordan is my hero by the way.

Whoever mentioned ANY dunk Vince Carter threw down.

My top two that stick out the most:
1) His Slam Dunk Contest winning dunk.
2) His dunk over France.

Yeah, I have seen Dr. J's dunks and MJ's dunks and everyone else's dunks ... I just would rather see Vince's pizzazz than someone jumping from the foul line.

Another one of my favorite dunks was a couple of years ago when Grant Hill was back in Detroit and he did a big time tomahawk dunk over Alonzo Mourning of the Heat and got the foul. That was some mean stuff. Hill had a little bit of attitude after that dunk too. I kind of liked it.

I'll second Spike on the KJ jam over the Dream back in the 94-95 Western Conference semis....

The Kidd-to-Marion combo has also produced some highlights :)

I would have to say the foul line dunk
