NBA Slam Dunk Contest 2011: Event Info, Dunk Highlights, Reactions and More

Blake Griffin has already received an outrageous amount of hype leading up to this dunk contest (which almost makes me hope that he doesn't win, but that's beside the point), which has brought up the question; who is the best dunking big man ever?

As of right now, my top five in no particular order (sort of) would have to be skinny Shawn Kemp, Darryl Dawikins, Larry Nance, Dwight Howard, and Shaq. Shaq is in based on raw power, the other four should be self explanatory.

However, depending on what Griffin does this Saturday, and how he plays out in the next few seasons, Blake "Russian-Crushin" Griffin (yea, I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring on his whole nickname thing) could easily knock Shaq or Larry Nance out of my top five and compete for the top spot.
