   KJ a much better passer. but hell….austin why even ask this question. KJ had like only 11 dunks in his whole career

   isotope says:

   yeah. i agree. KJ just doesnt have enough dunks. A better question would be which is the better dunk? Baron over AK or KJ over Hakeem?

   Boom is the better dunker unless you ask The Dream.

   Baron just because he’s caught AK47 AND The Big Ticket

   It’s quality, not quantity. Look at the dunks KJ had. Are they better than Baron’s best dunks. Over Hakeem, over Eaton, over Hot Rod, some sick ones on the break … I’d vote for KJ.

   As a Dunker KJ is a dope molester, Allegedly

   if kj gets in this for quality then Iverson gets in for his dunk over camby, and isiah thomas gets in for that sick put back(forget who it was on)

   Though I was waiting for you to do a “better dunk” post on Baraon Davis, I have to say, I am disappointed at the comparison. Kevin Johnson? Are you kidding me? Baron Davis should go up against the likes of Steve Francis in his prime or Dwayne Wayne.

   Big disrespect!!!

    Boom by far. @ dukesman2000 I totally agree. Nice thought with the old vs. new but
    Spudd Webb would have offered more resistance.

    This contest has to go to Baron… but KJ caught some people sleeping a time or two. Even the video is more of Johnson being a playmaker than a dunker.

    KJ video:
    * 0:18
    * 0:32
    * 1:05
    * 2:37
    * 2:45

    Baron has five dunks better than those?

    Got to be Diddy. KJ had some ill throw downs on cats, but over all Baron is a much better dunker. Not disrespectful tho

    DJ Go Go Gomez says:

    Davis is the better dunker overall. No doubt about it. But KJ has THE best dunk between the two. The jam over The Dream has to be one of the greatest all time “dunks over somebody”. Hakeem jumped and tried to block it but Kevin was just not having it!

    A-Slam says:

    K.J. had way more sick dunks, and put numerous people on posters, the most memomorable ones from Baron would be the one over K.G and the one over Kirilenko. Let’s also not forget the fact that Baron Davis is a legit 6′4 while K.J. stands at only 6′1 which makes it even more impressive

    James Taylor says:

    As far as the dunk mixes shown go, KJ needs more dunks. However, the question ‘who is the better dunker’ suggests quality over quantity. Simple answer: KJ over Baron hands down.

    this not even close baron all day

    to BDiddy’s credit, he has some ill dunks that arent on here…

20. September 23rd, 2008 at 1:17 pm

    shake&bake says:

    If it’s quality over quantity then I’m putting Tom Chambers in the top 5 because of his nasty 2 handed dunk when he pretty much jumped over the guy.

    I’m a big Baron Davis fan and liked KJ too back in the day. I’ll put it this way, Baron is more of a threat to dunk on you at anytime and he’s the best PG in the game when it comes to alley-oops, but KJ’s dunks are just filthy and he let you know about it, which today would likely get him a tech.

    Baron’s more of a threat to dunk, but KJ was more of a threat to dunk ON you, and his resume proves that.

    I gotta give this one to KJ.

    Ian says:

    my favorite dunk ever is by kj
    didnt he kill the dream
    that dunk alone is better than everything baron has
    quality over quantity peeps

    kj wins this

    Diego says:

    I agree with a lot of the later posts. Baron, MIGHT win in a dunk contest between the 2, but K.J. was (more) fearless and posterized a lot of big fellas back in his day. My vote is for K.J.

    lee says:

    They both don’t really get up that high for their dunks, they must have great timing.

    I seem to remember another little guy dunking on people .. Robert Pack. Might try and look some of those up.

    b-diddy all the way. robert pack vs. nate robinson? kenny walker vs. jason richardson? did you see the alley-oop to starbury where he throws down a reverse?

    King of Wings says:

    KJ over Eaton (dude was like 7′4″ and a decent shot blocker) followed up by KJ over The Dream (Recent Hall of Famer) is just nasty.

    Baron’s got a better variety of dunks and could pull off things that KJ could only dream of…but KJ going up and over legit C’s is more impressive in my eyes.

    Baron’s the better dunker…KJ had the better dunks.

    Big V says:

    KJ on Hakeem is my all-time favorite dunk, but by virtue of sheer volume of crams (that I’ve seen), I gotta go with Dizzle.

36. September 23rd, 2008 at 4:55 pm

    Jim says:

    Eaton wasn’t a decent shot blocker, he was defensive POY and an all star. Too bad he didn’t jump…KJ was fearless. The Hakeem dunk puts anything Baron did to shame, including the AK47 dunk.

    These two guys have the best 2 non-Starks playoff dunks I’ve seen though.

    …KJ

    KT says:

    Not enough dunks for KJ. But when he gave cats the business (Hakeem) he took no prisoners. Boom Dizzle wins on sheer number, and the way that he took AK-47’s soul like shang tsung from mortal kombat.

    KJ on Dream is an arm-bar. Ref’s not going to call it in that situation, but I think it was….

    sans says:

    You really haven’t seen AK play well since that dunk..but the ones that KJ put down on Hakeem and DPOY Mark Eaton, I do with the Mayor of Sactown

    KJ

    Baron is taller though fatter too but did he ever posterize a seven footer? (should I watch the videos first…?)
