Regardless of how you rank each dude on the list, recently-retired Jason Richardson has to be mentioned among the best dunkers ever. His Dunk Contest performances were must-watch stuff that will love on as YouTube clips and Vines forever, and his in-game jams were as good as anyone’s (proof above.)
He’ll be overlooked as a serious scorer from the wing, where he posted 17 and 5 over a 13-year career. But he was simply one of the most electrifying players of all-time, basically playing on a trampoline for his first five or six seasons. The League has plenty of dudes who can get way up right now, but we won’t soon see another like J-Rich.
