Here is Part 2 (of 3) of our Dazzling Dunks extravaganza, starring Dominique Wilkins.
Dominique Wilkins - Ah yes, the "Human Highlight Reel!" I am on record as saying Dominique Wilkins is my #1 favorite dunker of all time. That's quite a statement, because I love dunks and there's a lot of great dunkers. But I dig Dominique's style, with the windmill slams, the double-pump reverse jams, and things of that ilk. I like a lot of limb movement in a dunker. Limb flailing, even. Dominique also dunked with power and hung on the rim a lot, which I also dig. So that's one dig, and then another dig. What's that give me? Um... I don't know, actually. A small hole, I guess? Look, they're awesome dunks, so just watch the video...
Random Thoughts on the Dominique video... Pretty much everything I like about Dominique as a dunker is in this video. We've got the "reverse stuff" at #8 (I just really like it when people call a dunk a "stuff". It's not incorrect or anything, I just find it amusing. It always catches me slightly off guard.), a huge one-hand windmill at #7, dunking over two guys at #6, a two-hand tomahawk over Larry Bird at #4, a dunk on a 7-footer at #3, an awesome put-back slam at #2, and a two-hand double-clutch stuff with power. 'Nuff said.
More Dazzling Dunks!
