After watching last nights horrible dunk contest, I got to thinking who I would have liked to see in a dunk contest and I got to thinking about The Goat.

I remember watching this movie on HBO as a kid with Don Cheadle. I remember hearing about the "Double Dunk" and him grabbing change off the top of the backboard.Another supposed dunk was a two hand from near the foul over two people who were 6'8 each. He was only 6'1 so any dunk he did would still look sweet.

Definitely a what if type of person. Many of the all time greats including Kareem Abdul Jabbar have said that the GOAT was the best player they ever played against.

Any other urban legend dunks or players you have heard of that you would like to see?

Herman " The " Helicopter. New York street legend . Was supposed to have been the all time NYC playground skywalker. NBA' guys supposedly would show up to challenge him on the courts and just slink away after watching him ball for about 10 minutes.

Connie Hawkins who was just as well known on the open courts in New York City as he was for his play in the ABA/NBA. Was said to have incredible dunks on the play ground.
