I'm going to give Vince a vote. Even in his old and diminished days with the Mavs every few games he'd unleash a ridiculous dunk that would remind you of his prowess. And in his prime he was fucking unbelievable

Has to be rich teas. While on their own they're a pretty mediocre biscuit, the immeasurably improved by a good dunk in a cuppa. Hobnobs and Digestives are much nicer on their own, but they fill your tea with crumbs if you dunk more than once.

well Vince is obviously the best dunker in the purest sense. but part of the appeal of the dunk is the move that gets you the open air space to the basket (or if you're a big man, the sheer dominance of just dunking over someone). Combine Jordan's air with his moves (remember that half spin to dunk over ewing?) and it's a pretty close call imo.

Feel like Erving gets the most influence points, Carter gets the technical skill points, and Jordan gets the being Michael Jordan points. Gonna go with Carter.

Those Dr J dunks from a long time ago still look really cool today.

dunking is an all or nothing man's game seems like, so traits like powerful/strong are gonna be preferred over grace. Thus V Carter.

It's probably the wrong metric, but I remember the other three guys for things beyond their dunking, whereas with Vince, his dunking ability far outstrips any other aspect about him. So I voted Vince.
