Dunkers are all 6'1" and under These are some of the greatest dunks of all time from shorter NBA players. Clips are licensed through NBA playmakers Business Inquiries: mcosh3@gmail.com
Spud was the best small man dunker. Actually 5 ft 5 in, no muscle mass and couldn't palm the ball. Unbelievable!! I remember after he won the slam dunk contest, a team of scientists at a Texas university tried to determine why he was able to jump so high without much muscle mass or height. They're explanation was he had abnormal fast-twitch muscle response. Basically, he is a human flea. 😆
I went to college with Spud and you should have seen the stuff he did at school when no cameras were around. We watched his dunk contest win in the school cafeteria that afternoon.
I used to be able to dunk easy in high school at 6’1, now I’m in college and 6’4 and can’t dunk anymore smh this video motivates me to start working out on my vertical again
Isiah was as complete an NBA PG as anyone who has played. He could do any and everything all of today's top stars do. He could go coast-to-coast like Ja, handle like John Wall, control tempo like Chris Paul, shoot like Steph, and score in bunches like Donovan Mitchell or Trae. His game was tuned to winning, first at Indiana and then with the Bad Boy Pistons. It was rare when we got to see him unleashed, but when needed, he would put on a show ...
Nice list...But I was hoping to see Dee Brown...A tick over 6ft but I just remember getting into NBA...This guy was dunking over people, doing tip-ins and blocking people (There's a ridiculous 2 handed swap out there) A dunk over 7'7 George Muresan...He even goes around Jordan on baseline for a Jam... Then the 91 dunk comp where he pumped up he's Reeboks...That was so iconic...
Listen, this is why I LOVE point guards above any other player position. Small point guards to be exact. I'm 5ft8 and have weighed 145 all my life. I don't know for sure but it's gotta be genetics because I'm 47 and I can still dunk. I've never played ball at school because of the pressure. When I see Nate Robinson and Isiah Thomas do it, especially Big Head who's a half inch taller than me and heavier, it makes me feel like it's me in there. I've never seen Rondo dunk though and that was the highlight for me right there. I live in Louisville and have played with Rajon and I've never seen him do anything but make plays so that's crazy
Craziest dunk from a smaller player was AI in his rookie season. He out jumped Marcus Camby and dunked the ball on an offensive rebound. It was wild seeing him get up over a 7’ Camby
That my friends were the times when basketball ment everything to us. That Kj dunk on HAkeem was everything. I remember that like it was yesterday and I'm 51 yrs old.
I first saw PackMan at a preseason exhibition game against Seattle. He juked past Gary Payton [!] and then dunked on Jack Sikma--climbed his chest and bounced the ball off his head. I turned to my friend and said, I think that guy just made the team.
Notice how the “little guys” are essentially tossed into the first row as soon as they make contact with the bigger guys under the basket. It’s like a tennis ball hitting a basketball…
I always find the averzge dunker was incredible but have even a bigger respect for the little dunker because they have to increase her vert higher than the other to dunk.Big respect💪🏽
I cant be the only one who didnt know Rondo was under 6'2". He looks taller on the court. Not like guys like Trae or D Rose who actually look smaller than their listed height.
Most people believe that height is the most important thing when it comes to dunking, especially for short guys. It's important but wingspans and standing reaches are equally, if not more, important for dunking. For example, Carsen Edwards got an amazing dunk at :35 seconds into this video. Edwards measured 5'10.75" at the NBA Combine...but he's got a wingspan of 6'6.25" and his standing reach is 7'10.5." Both of those numbers are freakish and most little men dunkers also have great wingspans and standing reaches so their dunks are very impressive but not as much as most people think. In Edwards' case, he only needs to jump 31-32 inches to dunk.
