Is Blake Griffin the last "great" dunker?

[PS5 Pro]

Hear out the criteria first then I think you'll agree!?!

We all agree in the 80's and 90's it was about Dunking the ball all up in a muthafukkaz grill.
And now the game is 3pt heavy, blah blah blah. But when you think of dunking on people you think MJ, Shaq, Kobe, Kemp/etc.
fukk it, I'll even add Rik Smits since he was the muthafukkin dunkin dutchman

AS the game has become more soft, you don't see players dunking on people as often as it was in the past. Let's start from there.
There's always a player who will get highlights but they gotta do it enough times to be mentioned with the names above.
I'm not even including Lebron even tho he is very CLOSE. I wouldn't be mad if you have him its just that's not his game.
I mean he's great a sprinting and beating everyone to the rim but he doesn't catch BODIES from centers. I'm sure its happened, but... he's borderline for me.

I can think of 3 youngins who have a great shot... but is there anyone since Blake Griffin that routinely catches bodies?

Morant be catching bodies too but not at griffins rate. That one game where he dunked on mozgov a few times was peak griffin.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Zion if he can stay healthy.

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. I was worried that nikkaz would be too quick to point out what he's done and for that to be enough.
So with that said... Is it Blake or who am I forgetting?

Zion if he can stay healthy.

Fa sho, but I guess because of injury I have Jah in front of him tho at the moment

you must be watching the NBA on your 144p vizio



That there is a 2 time MVP that dunks on people on a nightly basis. Centers, guards nobody safe. And no body wants to challenge him at the rim like that cause you will get put on a highlight

The game done changed and also social media has influenced players not to challenge dunkers at the rim like that cause they don't want to be talked about in the comments section for getting dunked on. Basically players now are puss C and are scared of the comments. Thats why they duck under.or side swipe shieeet i've seem an all star center side swipe a dunk attemp a few nights ago.


Im Dominican and im embarrassed by the way this dude plays defense he saw him coming he side swiped what a puss c. Worst "star" in the league and probably the worst defensive player in the league.

Also we like to complain about hip hop and homicides but we use terms like "catching bodies" even got self hating c00ns like mike tirico using that term on national TV. Just a lil observation.
