What’s the worst you’ve ever seen someone get dunked on?

Vince CarterVince has delivered his share of embarrassment.

According to the Miami Herald, DJ Mbenga is weighing one offer from the Lakers while he’s in town working out for the Heat. Whichever roster the 7-footer ends up on, the League’s established and up-and-coming dunkers can circle those dates on their calendar as time to make highlights, as Mbenga is consistently one of the League’s most posterized defenders.

In honor of DJ: What’s the worst you’ve ever seen someone get dunked on, in person or on TV?

    vince on ‘Zo

  2. lukepo says:

    lebron on damon jones

  3. Amar says:

    Dunking on someone is scored on a different metric than getting dunked on.

    If you dunk on a shot blocked, you get bonus points for dunking on him, based on his ‘rep’. Like when Vince dunked on mutombo — it wasn’t the best dunk ever, it just happened to be on a guy who challenges a lot of shots. If you’re a shot blocker, eventually, people are going to dunk on you. Look at Kirilenko when he got crammed on by Baron Davis . . . if Andrei didn’t care about playing defense, that never would have happened, as he was the weak side help defender who hustled over in time to get dunked on. Boozer would never get dunked on, because dude isn’t even on the court when the Jazz are on defense, it seems.

    Aside from a lot of VC dunks, and Andrei getting killed by baron . . .

    I’d have to vote for some of Kemp’s body of work (too quick and too athletic for many 4’s to deal with), but a personal fav of mine is Deron Williams breaking down / beating Chris Paul off the dribble and then throwing it down on Tyson Chandler.

    All time has to by Dawkins’ on Robazine.

  4. Michorizo says:

    unexpected, therefore exciting … Chris Paul over Dwight Howard …

  5. Amar says:

    that’s shot blocker . . .

  6. ali says:

    johnny dawkins against navy, ncaa tournament ‘86

  7. dewayne carter says:

    vince over freddy weiss but that willie warren one where he teabagged the guy was just sicker than zo’s kidney

  8. Timmy D says:

    Best in person was Rudy Gay on Scola. Im a grizz fan so that has to be my favorite live one.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OcSgAn0DaU

  9. James says:

    At an ABA tryout some dude bout 6′5″ jumped over another guy bout the same size with dreads- he jumped over his head and took the rubberband out of his head

  10. doc says:

    Vince on the big stiff,and Rudy Gay over YI.

  11. doc says:

    And Mike and Scottie on Pat Ewing.Legend has it when Pat Ewing smiles you can still see Mike and Scotties pubic hairs between his teeth.

  12. Amar says:

    the world over ostertag

  13. Austin Burton says:

    @Amar — Booz did catch a bad one from Ronnie Price.

  14. that's whats up says:

    damn doc - that was slick

  15. weezy f says:

    ronnie price over boozer was nasty but id say the best has to be when bron dunked on barbosa…he looked at barbosa and it looked like he was thinking “dont even try to jump” but barbosa did anyway =/

  16. DO says:

    lebron on damon jones was good.
    honorable mention… anything with shawn bradley

  17. Ian the statboy says:

    DO
    u gotta narrow it down everyone dunked on bradley

    vince on z is good
    but the best dunk ever was kevin johnson on hakeem DAMNNNNN

  18. Amar says:

    oh yeah, man, Boozer got it bad on that dunk. I’m as surprised as he was that he was even ‘defending the basket’.

  19. Amar says:

    keon clark had some nasty dunks . . . like the one against felton spencer (then with the knicks) in the playoffs . . . and another on shawn bradley, but like DO says, everyone dunks on bradley.

  20. Blue says:

    yo doc…
    that was some funny shit…hahahaha!!

  21. ed says:

    john starks on the jordan, pipen and grant. it was my favorite poster when i was young.

  22. capt stabbin says:

    this one nice…..

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GiLII8vw4A

  23. A says:

    fav is pippen over ewing then standing over him
    but the pippen dunk on smith in the clip posted earlier is pretty sick
    vince over wies will always be up there purely for KG’s face and reaction after

  24. khalfani says:

    chris paul over dwight howard

  25. Kudabeen says:

    Kobe on a then unknown Ben Wallace was just vicious

    Kevin Johnson on Hakeem - Totally out of left field!

    Shaq on David Robinson I think in the 94 or 96 All-Star game (it was in San Antonio) He banged on David so hard David flew out of bounds into the basket. This marked the downward slop of Robinson’s career IMO…

    LeBron on Rasheed Wallace in last years Playoffs…

    Kevin Garnett on whoever that dude was from Denver KG’s 1st or 2nd year…After banging on him KG mugged the hell out of him…

    TOP!!! (Outside of Vince on Weiss - Untouchable. The reaction the most passionate Vince has ever been and KG joining was just Crazy)

    Aside from that Iverson Banging on Camby’s Neck on a put back was just gross…He didn’t have to hang em’ on his neck like that.

  26. ali says:

    ooooh! kj on hakeem. thanks for shaking that loose from the cobwebs.

    still don’t think that was as ill as THE DUNK - starks on the bulls. he dropped bj armstrong with the hezzo, took off outside the paint and and gave it to horace grant and bill cartwright. LEFTY!. mike came flying in from the rear trying to swat it, but threw up the white flag in surrender when he saw what was about to go down. the illest eveeeerrr!

  27. Kudabeen says:

    KG hurting cats:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc55hijZgRs

  28. it aint easy being green says:

    what about rondo on antonio mcdyce

  29. Safetydan says:

    CP over Dwight was overrated, dwight was pretty much behind him.

  30. freshouttatime says:

    someone mentioned it but stark’s dunk on the bulls.

    and bdiddy’s hangtime on ak47, that was just good for a variety of reasons; it just set the place off, and if you chanced on me and my buddies you woulda thought it was a zoo.

  31. Diego says:

    Loved that Starks dunk, and I think I also recall the KJ dunk as awesome.

    Always nice when someone unexpected (as opposed to e.g., Vince) shows some hops and slams one down on some folks.

  32. smity far away says:

    let us get some links…

    jordan over ewing, i know i hopped out my seat seeing baron last year on kirilenko…vince over lonzo…but i need some links to refresh my memory (or i could just go to youtube myself…)

  33. bballinca says:

    In person the sickest was in a pick up game when a 6′5″ guy from utside the key 360 dunked on Stacy Augmon.

    jacque Vaughan when he dunked on 7ft tall Richard Mandeville back in high school.

  34. Ian the statboy says:

    shaq on david wasnt that big a deal its simple physics what happens if to masses collide one weighting 350 pounds plus velocity the other 250 pounds the lighter one will be sent flyin back this wasnt the case on the kj dunk. nothing with shaq is one of the greatest dunks ever

    comon peeps
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifx_gRF-ouU&feature=related
    easyy the best dunk and the starks one is great but is not near this one

    another one i like dont know if anyone remembers duncan over wallace
    ben went flyin after timmeh killed him

    pippen on ewing awesome, kemp on the golden state dude that kemp then taunted on the ground, kemp on gatlin i think that gatlin gave props to kemp after the play, kevin johnson piggyback on ewing (damn that midget killed ewing and olajuwon),dr j on cooper wtf was coop tryin to do.

  35. biggeddy says:

    Nothing Tops Vince jumping over Weiss. That was beyond sick.
    But does anyone remember Kobe welcoming Dwight Howard to the league? That was just nasty.

  36. Ross says:

    The dunk Vince had in the Olympics (or was it something like the Olympics).
    In person, I once dunked on Shaq about five years ago, but the video camera stopped working and didn’t record any of it :(

  37. Ansonious says:

    Stat on Michael Olawakandi, I don’t care if I can’t spell his name, I just remember being really drunk in vegas, and seeing the replay a few hundred times. Plus watching Starbury doing the bitter beer face afterwards was also priceless.

  38. Smooth says:

    scottie pippens dunk on ewing during the 94 playoffs what made it so great was the moment & the aftermath when he pushed patrick ewing 2 the floor walked over him then went over 2 spike lee & told him 2 sit his ass down

  39. Ian the statboy says:

    three best in game dunkers ever

    nique
    vince
    kemp

  40. RENO says:

    JORDAN ON EWING. ESPECIALLY THE WAY HE LEFT OAK MAN AND STARKS (2 TOUGH DEFENDERS)TO SET THE DUNK UP. PERFECTION!!!

  41. RENO says:

    statboy… how you leave Jordan off that list!?!

  42. VQ says:

    Vince over Weis period.

    Best in game was back in like 1998ish when Ricky Davis was with the Charlotte Hornets and he dunked on everyone on the Philadelphia 76ers while he jumped and dunked on a putback. It was sick..i miss my hive..

  43. Ryan says:

    Lebron over Tim Duncan
    Nique on Larry Bird
    Lebron on Delonte West
    Manu on Tim Duncan and KG in one the world championships..I can’t remember what year..before Manu was in the NBA
    oh yea…Rudy Fernandez over Dwight Howard

  44. Chris says:

    kobe is probably glad that mbenga plays for the lake-show by now!

    http://www.mavswiki.com/images/thumb/1/10/DJ_Mbenga.jpg/250px-DJ_Mbenga.jpg

  45. MSkittle says:

    LeBron on Damon Jones. VC on Weis. VC on Alonzo

  46. GEE...Make my funk the p-funk says:

    Worst Dunk I ever seen was on a video game actually. Tracy McGrady caught a dude and made him go sideways after trying to contest and hit the floor. ILL.

    In person have to be And 1 any of them lol. For real there were a few that were ill but I don’t feel like typing all about em.

    Best dunk ever Vince over Weis.

    Oh and I had a dream once where I caught an ill two hander.

    I’d have to say Shawn Kemp’s dunk on Gatling I think it was, is my favorite. Any time you cram on a dude so hard that he has to dap you up. Game ova!

  47. LakeShow84 says:

    Amare sending Michael Olokwandi sailing.. That was just sick..

    From this year ill take Stromile basptizing Tyrus.. Tomahawk style at that

  48. LakeShow84 says:

    And let me clear this up.. (one of the main reasons i dont like LBJ too much, media hype up the ass)

    Lebron NEVER dunked on Tim Duncan.. Duncan put his hands in the air and didnt even jump or move with any sort of force to contest that.. he just made it difficult.. But the Media blew that shit way out of proportion.. I even watched that game and the announcer way over did it.. If anything it was a marvel how high he got but in no way did TD try to actually contest that..

    Now Lebron on KG this year was STRAIGHT getting dunked.. he tried with force and desperation to prevent that bucket (hence the midair shove) and lebron crammed him.. OUCH

  49. Tha Boddy says:

    Shawn Kemp dunking on that guy then pointing at him…that was the best jam on i’ve ever seen

  50. LakeShow84 says:

    Correction

    TD did try to contest it but not 2 seriously..

  51. control says:

    VC on Weis, probably the best moment in his career, and the best in game dunk from one of the best dunkers in history.

    Seen a few crazy ones in pickup games, one of the best coming from some random 40 year old, super skinny 6′4 guy throwing the hammer down on some guy who could have been Chris Webber’s little brother, 6′9 260.

  52. AB_40 says:

    vince over Fred Weis, Vince over mourning… Pippen over Ewing and Kemp over Gattling was nasty. Nique over Bird ohw my haha

  53. DHead says:

    I agree with alot of the dunks you are putting out there but so many you are forgetting about

    T-Mac on Bradley a few years back

    KJ on the back of hot rod williams or daugerty whichever cav it was

    but one of the best was a young C-webb around the back and then dunking on Barkley

  54. Ian the statboy says:

    reno
    comon jordan wasnt better than any of the three i posted but then again its just my opinion hehehe

    ryan
    please lebron didnt do shit to duncan he didnt even try to do anything just make it kinda hard
    it wasnt manu that dunked on kg and td it was nocioni
    now the one lakeshow mentioned on kg was nasty

    u know what funny before the 07 finals lebron said they had the poster of the dunk on duncan in the locker room first shot of the finals lebron gets rejected by duncan

  55. GEE...Make my funk the p-funk says:

    Hopefully these work enjoy!

    Good mix of top 15 dunkers of all-time:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdlohBXB594&feature=related

  60. McLovin says:

    ricky “buckets” davis over steve nash!

    vince against the pacers, i think chris mullin was guarding him, his rookie year!

  61. Jeffco says:

    kobe on nash during the playoffs

    and the dunks between andrew bynum and shaq were good!

  62. Kudabeen says:

    McLovin:

    Yeah that was like his first big time Highlight that propelled Vince. It was a windmill reverse going away from the basket of the dribble through traffic. Def Nasty…

  63. Kudabeen says:

    Just watch the Nique pf Bird dunk on the Top 15 highlights I posted (post 59)…Bird just fell to the floor and looked up to the sky for a reason…Nique was despicable…

  64. Camp Lo says:

    1. Vince on Frenchie
    2. KJ on Dream
    3. Pip on Ewing
    4. MJ on Ewing
    5. Kemp on Golden State I
    6. Kemp on Golden State II
    7. Starks on the Bulls
    8. Bron on Rasheed
    9. Rookie Wade on J.O.
    10. Doc J on Coop

  65. Camp Lo says:

    Damn, I forgot about Nique. He could easily have 2-3 spots on the list.

  66. loganlight says:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIl9D2B3Hgs&feature=related

    Loved this one because it came from no where… There was no way that LeBron was going to dunk it… then he did.

    LL

  67. THE MAMBA says:

    IN A PICK UP GAME I SEEN A DUDE JUMP STRAIGHT OVER A GUYS HEAD FOR A DUNK. JUST FILTHY. ANOTHER TIME, THOUGH NOT ON ANYONE, A GUY GOT OUT IN FRONT ON A BREAK AND DID THE VINCE CARTER ELBOW IN THE RIM DUNK AND SHUT DOWN THE GYM

  68. ali says:

    has anyone heard of a young fella named michael jordan.

    how ’bout against charlotte’s kelly tripucka. or on mutombo, when mike wagged the finger at him. or when he broke cliff levingston’s ankles and boofed it on tree rollins.

    can’t forget the greatest player i ever saw in person, len bias. the alley against duke, the steal off the inbounds from kenny smith and the backwards ram. whew!

  69. Ian the statboy says:

    magic johnson on the dr dunk on coop
    “oh coop nooooooo” lol

  70. Jah says:

  71. the9lives says:

    amare banged on this cat

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12aDC3HmdOw&feature=related

  72. mike c says:

    Kobe on Ben Wallace would have been one of the best all-time, if it wasn’t done in a preseason game. If it had been regular season or playoffs, that would be one of the top 3 ever.

  73. Vintakular says:

    T-mac over Bradley in the 1st round playoffs.. He practically rode him

  74. J says:

    vince tea bagging freddy weis was the best dunk ever, but props to kemp for his 2 against gs, kevin johnson back in cleveland.
    but i got a good question what is the best missed dunk ever? im gonna nominate greg oden on jeff green in the final 4. I was in vegas and when he missed that dunk everybdoy watching it was yelling and standing after that nastiness

  75. Arnold Palmer says:

    recent memory I think chris paul on dwight howard waz pretty mean…..nd def trevor ariza on ben wallace waz serious

  76. Sith Lord 24 says:

    Vince’s olympic dunk over the 7′2″ russian’s head.

    best basketball play i ever seen and i saw it live. just so happen to wake up at like 2:30 in the morning to take a piss and watched a bit of the game. i had to wake up everyone in my complex because i went the hell off when i saw that!!!

  77. dagwaller says:

    Pippen over Ewing

  78. Young Lebron 23 says:

    @Sith Lord 24- He was french not russian.

    How about Greg Paulus getting teabagged by Deron Washington?

  79. florida_evans says:

    One that comes to mind is when VC slashed off a screen,ditched his man and drove STRAIGHT down the middle ,where Big Ben was waiting…VC took off from inside the stripe,and Ben Wallace elevated to meet him…VC went up,and Ben went up too..VC stayed up,Ben couldn’t,and Vince laid one of his patented one handed Mjolnirs(Thor’s hammer) on ‘im….

  80. Luigi says:

    im putting Kobe over Dwight…TWICE! haha but VC has alot of these posterizements.

    but VC over Weis…its too common so ima have to say..Kobe over Dwight…no one ever does that on dwight these days

  81. Clip show says:

    Tom chambers on some unlucky dummy.

  82. barons beard says:

    no love for stromile’s brutal two-handed tomahawk all over yao? that was naaaaaaasty!!

    other worthy mentions - amare’s statue of liberty over josh smith, warrick tea-bagging royal ivey, kenyon martin all over jermaine o’neal

  83. Marvin says:

    Vince on Weis during the 2000 games period.

  84. Simon says:

    A list that is in no particular order…
    Torture Chamber
    Ricky Davis on Nash
    Ricky Davis put back from rookie season
    Kemp taunting that poor soul
    Number one is obviously Vince

    Man, just watching people gettin’ dunked on makes me get all aggressive, and then I get that look on my face like I just smelt some doo-doo…

  85. heartbreaker85 says:

    vince on zo just a year or two ago. it was great because you actually had a damn good shot blocker (even if he was already old, zo was still ripped) challenging the dunk.

    there was an extension and a delay in there too.

    2nd place goes to vince on f. weiss. he JUMPED OVER a 7′2 dude. who cares if the guy can’t play D.

    KG’s in-game reaction says it all.

  86. MBE18 says:

    I am not going to take the time to read all the previous posts, but one I do remember that may have or may not have been mentioned was Ricky Davis taking off on Steve Nash.

  87. QueSt??? says:

    iverson over marcus camby

  88. Joe says:

    Pip on Ewing…then towering over him.
    defo the best dunk of all time.

  89. K-Pax says:

    Ok, the best dunks already mentioned…but how about:

    - Baron Davis over Thielo Green at UCLA?

    - Baron Davis over Kirilenko?

    - Baron Davis oder Jermaine O’Neil?

    see them all here:

  91. karan says:

    vince over weis wins in several categories
    - best dunking over a big guy
    - best poster
    - best in-game dunk
    - how about, eh, best dunk ever
    - KG’s reaction
    - he jumped OVER him.

    Winner of the “Oh snap did that just happen/Most unexpected dunk I have ever seen” award:

  96. Ansonious says:

    There should of been a stipulation that dunking on pg isn’t a worthy mention. I mean seriously how many ballers can’t dunk on Steve Nash.

  97. dukesman2000 says:

    Boom Dizzle on AK 47

  98. Sho-Nuff says:

    Tom Chambers over Mark Jackson?

    Not the best but I thought that I’d throw that in there. He crushed that 2 hander.

  102. KingBruin says:

    Favorite failed attept:

    Yao Ming getting his dunk blocked by 5′ 9″ Nate Robinson.

  103. Art says:

    just to go the opposite:
    Tom Chambers over Mark Jackson, it appeared Tommy got higher when he hit Jacko’s shoulder

  104. twggyy says:

    how about when rudy fernandez dunked on d. howard in the gold medal game at the olympics. I wanted the usa to win but being a trailblazer fan, that was sick.
