    David Thompson was also very influential. When playing for North Carolina State, Thompson was Michael Jordan's favorite player. Bill Russell was the first player to use the dunk(and the block) as a way of intimidation. Followed by Wilt Chamberlain. Shaquille O'Neil in the modern game. James Worthy and Tom Chambers were also very good dunkers.

    This is an awesome list. Very well put together with well chosen footage. 👏 As for who could eventually break into this top 10, my money's on Zach Lavine. I would've included Aaron Gordon too but he seems to have lost his love for the dunk after his last dunk contest loss and that's a huge shame.

    I disagree with Lebron being ranked higher than Dominique and Dr. J 🤮

      I agree, how can you put someone on no 3 spot without winning any dunk contest?

      That's a valid point. You could even make a case for Shawn Kemp being higher than Lebron, he was an animal. I think Blake should be higher than Lebron too.

    Thank you for including Chocolate Thunder. Well deserved. I love Clyde Drexler, but Tom Chambers should of been in this list.
