Yep yep, you can definitely express it freely, just like I can freely disagree with you. It happens in life.

But yeah if you are basing who's better on dunk championships then you have made my point about kobe vs bron.

Right, like Dunk Championships mean anything now a days

Of course you should. Doesn't necessarily mean it's accurate though. Kobe was definitely not just an "above average" dunker.

LeBron and Vince are two of the greatest dunkers of all time imo, more so Vince. BUT that doesn't mean that Kobe wasn't a great, maybe even elite dunker himself.

Above average dunkers don't do things like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6lJMcKF9H8

Thats not enough to say he's a better dunker than kobe. Kobe has been playing for so long that people forget how he played when he was in his prime. There is no way you can tell me that Lebron is a better dunker. Equal at the very least but better? Hell nah. Educate yourself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6LChpQ2N9Q VC is the better of the 3 though.

The difference to me:
Kobe is able to spin more on his dunks and adjust to contact.

LeBron just flat out goes through the contact and his head seems to be above the rim almost every time (whereas I only saw like one dunk in that entire video where Kobe's head was near the rim).

Lebron one of the best dunkers?


ok maybe OS isnt the place to talk basketball...

[Self313]

head near the rim or not

he has no creativity

dunking is not just about bounce

Kobe can STILL full extension windmill

do you know how hard that is bro?

By looking at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCPol37w1Ro

You can't tell me that he isn't one of the best dunkers that stepped foot onto a court.

LeBron one of the best dunkers the NBA has ever seen? You started to watch it like 4 years ago then? He's your typical power dunker, and he got a lot of power.
And Kobe wasn't a top dunker? LMAO, are you kidding me? He had high hops and lots of creativity, he could get up there and dunk in somebody's face too.
Just to get it clear, I'm not comparing players nor starting another vs. thread, I root for OKC, I don't even care about all that.
