So who do you guys think is the best white dunker ever in the N.B.A.? Yep, I know there's not a lot.

And most recently you would think of Brent Barry, who won the dunk contest a few years back.

But do you know who I pick? Tom Chambers of the Phoenix Suns in his prime. He was awesome. He was a pretty big guy, played inside, but he could get up there.

These days when you think of the "2-man game", you think of John Stockton and Karl Malone but back in the late 1980's and early 1990's I thought Kevin Johnson and Tom Chambers ran their 2-man game just as well. Chambers had some vicious dunks from K.J.

Wow, interesting, but tough topic. I'm having trouble thinking of white guys that can dunk period! ;) Well, really, I'd say Brent Barry because he's the last white guy I remember who won a dunk contest. What about everyone else?

Austin Croshere of the Indiana Pacers can throw em down for a white guy. He gets up there and makes sure they go in with a hella lot of power.

I've actually never seen him dunk before but I heard Rex Chapman could get up there when he was in his prime and healthy.

I remember that's what Charles Barkley used to say about Rex that he could get up and there and "was a white guy with a brother's legs".

All the white guys are 5'10" and play the point in the NBA. Or they are 7' and just turn around the drop the ball in the hoops. :D

I have Dirk on my CBS Basketball Team and he is outstanding. I never knew about him until CBS and this guy in probably in the top 3 or 5 on my team in overall fantasy scoring and my team has names like McGrady, Malone, Iverson, Kidd, Mark Jackson, Antonio Davis, Baron Davis ect. Outstanding player.
