Brent Petway, although he sucked so most of his good stuff is in dunk contests and practices.

That dunk sparked it's own shirt :)

Here's the Maggette collection from his limited time at Duke
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=253440251

the backstory for that backboard slap is that someone from Florida in pre-game dunked one and put a handprint on their basket. When the second half came Corey decided he would put his handprint over it.

This was ok, but his put-back dunk against Temple was much better.

I'm not saying Maggette wasn't a good dunker, but he isn't worthy of being in the same sentence as Carter. The only reason he was is because you like to suck on a big blue dick. Just sayin'. Every post you make has to include Duke in some way, shape or form.

Thanks Laley and Az. I couldn't remember which Pettway was which.

The Temple dunk was definitely great, too, swami. Al McGuire's call is ingrained in my mind to this day. "Maggette Maggette spaghetti ... Ha..Ha.. Holy mackerel."

I miss them both.

James White was also my first thought. Muhammad had some nasty dunks to! Can't rule out Darvin Ham either!

Yes, Ham was nasty (and he played for Texas Tech, not Cincy. Not sure why I originally wrote that). His inverted 360 in the '97 NBA dunk contest is still one of my favorite slams of all-time. It's about 45 seconds into the video below.

Here he is in college. Pure domination of that rim.



Ham was the man.

Probably not. He did a legit 2 handed FT line dunk. Insanity.

Oden definitely doesn't belong on this list at all, but this would have been the dunk of the decade and it isn't even close. Plus I just wanted to post it because it's fucking sweet. And everyone on the bench makes me LOL every time I see it. As far as the actual topic, James White, Maurice Ager, and Shannon Brown were the first three I thought of although Brown probably because of some of the nasty shit he's thrown down this year moreso than at MSU. I'm a little surprised Blake Griffin hasn't been mentioned. I remember one where he kinda smashed his face on the padding that goes around the underside of the glass.
