20 Posterizing Dunks That Make LeBron James' Tape Seem Cavalier

Well, it's finally out.

The tape of LeBron James getting dunked on in his own camp has finally been seen.

Was it a nice dunk? Yes. But was it worth all the hype? Was it worth LeBron trying to hide it to save face? No way.

In fact, here are 20 Posterizing Dunks I'd Rather See Than the LeBron Tape.

Baron Davis over Andrei Kirilenko

I remember where I was when I saw this dunk.

Slow motion doesn't do it justice. The unexpectedness of it as it unfolded in real time was what made it legendary.

Baron throws it down over him, and then for a celebration he defiantly untucks his shirt?

These players need celebration lessons.

Shawn Kemp over Alton Lister

One person who never needed celebration lessons was Shawn Kemp.

He ferociously dunked over Alton Lister and promptly reminded him of what he just did by squatting down and pointing at him with both hands.

Coincidentally, that's the same move Kemp made whenever he got another woman pregnant.

Michael Jordan over Patrick Ewing

Michael Jordan owned the Knicks. This was never more apparent than on this play.

First he gives a sick spin move to lose two defenders, then skies over Patrick Ewing to put him to shame.

I wonder if that's the worst Ewing has ever gotten dunked on by a Bulls player...

Scottie Pippen over Patrick Ewing

Oh yeah, there was also that time that Scottie Pippen dunked on Ewing.

Not only was it a nastier dunk, but Pippen gives him the ultimate diss by walking over him once he's on the ground.

Pippen might be the most underrated player ever. He was awesome.

Vince Carter jumps over Frederic Weis

Vince Carter is one of the most prolific dunkers of my time. I don't know if any dunk will ever come close to how devastating this one was.

Carter actually jumped over 7'1" Frederic Weis and dunked the ball. The only thing close to as awesome as this dunk is Kevin Garnett's reaction, which was the most appropriate reaction to this dunk that I could imagine.

He goes to start running back to play defense, then realizes that this dunk needs to be recognized.

Tom Chambers over Mark Jackson

Easily the player voted "Most Likely Not to Appear on This List," Tom Chambers had one of the most gravity-defying dunks in history.

On a breakaway, he goes up for a dunk, runs into Mark Jackson, and he begins to go up, then appears to keep rising for days.

When Chambers eventually throws the ball down, his head is still above the rim.

John Starks over the Bulls

What's better than watching one player dunk on another player? When the player doing the dunking is significantly smaller.

John Starks makes up for both those times that Patrick Ewing got dunked on by the Bulls by dishing out his own brand of justice on Horace Grant and Michael Jordan.

Kevin Johnson over Hakeem Olajuwon

Since we're on the subject of little guys dunking on big guys, it doesn't get much better than little Kevin Johnson throwing down on Hakeem Olajuwon.

I love reactions from the bench. That's the best way to tell if you just saw a legendary dunk.

Paul Pierce over Marcus Camby

Is there anything more satisfying than dunking over one of the best shot blockers in the league?

No, seriously, is there? I've never done anything like that, so I wouldn't know.

Kenyon Martin over Jermaine O'Neal

On the flip side, the irony is pretty nice when the shot blocker throws one down over the dunker.

That's exactly what happened when Kenyon Martin posterized Jermaine O'Neal.

Travis Outlaw over Rodney Carney

Anybody can dunk on someone else if they get a head start or if the person is trying to take a charge.

What makes this dunk great is that the two players jumped at the same time. Outlaw just happened to jump higher and threw it down with so much force I had to hold on to my chair when I watched it.

Brandon Roy over Cheikh Samb

Outlaw's teammate, Brandon Roy, had one of the most satisfying dunks I've seen in a long time.

It's not every day that you dunk on someone and just completely devastate them like Roy did. As soon as he hits Samb, the guy just crumbles.

I've never heard of Cheikh Samb before. I think this dunk might be the reason why.

Josh Smith over Primo Brezec

What I love about this dunk is the dunkee's reaction.

Primo Brezec (kindly referred to as "some guy" in the video description) goes up to block the shot and almost immediately realizes it's a bad idea. He tries to abandon his effort by turning his back, but he just makes it worse on himself.

Once you commit, you gotta stay with it.

Anthony Randolph over Yao Ming

I have a sneaking suspicion that we might be seeing more videos of Anthony Randolph dunking on people in the very near future.

This kid is a freak. Yao should be happy he's out for the year so he doesn't have to endure any more of these dunks.

Dominique Wilkins over Larry Bird

Okay, so it's not such a huge feat to dunk on Larry Bird, but Dominique Wilkins needed some sort of revenge for all those times he lost to Bird in games and scoring duels.

Also, it's a pretty sick dunk.

Jason Richardson over Rasho Nesterovic

Jason Richardson gets into the act here by dunking hard on Rasho Nesterovic.

Can you imagine if that kid had dunked on LeBron James in this manner? We wouldn't hear the end of it. Skip Bayless would still be screaming.

Amar'e Stoudemire over EVERYONE

I couldn't bring myself to choose just one of these dunks.

Stoudemire brings such a unique skill set to the table. He's athletic, agile, quick, powerful, and can hang in the air better than just about any big man.

Naturally, Mr. Stoudemire is going to have his share of posterizing dunks on people. Oh, what a sight to behold.

EVERYONE over Shawn Bradley

Speaking of everyone, I don't know if there's a player in the NBA who hasn't dunked on Shawn Bradley at least once.

The former No. 2 pick in the draft has made a career out of getting dunked on. Players seek him out to dunk on.

Being 7'6" is a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because you get to play in the NBA. It's a curse because every kid who can jump is going to want to show you up by jamming on your head.

Enjoy this video. I know I did.

LeBron James over Rasheed Wallace

It wouldn't really be fair to leave LeBron totally off this list, even though he's the reason I'm making it. LeBron dunks with such authority that if you're anywhere near him when he goes up, you'll want to clear out immediately.

Dunks like this get extra points too for happening during a close game. Even more points for a close playoff game.

Courtney Lee over LeBron James

I can't imagine why LeBron was so worried about everyone seeing him get dunked on.

We already witnessed it this summer when he got posterized by Courtney Lee on national television.

No one tried to confiscate those tapes. We can even watch it again and again on YouTube.

LeBron, next time you get dunked on by a college kid, give him a pat on the butt and give him his props to the media.
