If your argument is that Lavine had a foot in , then take his normal dunk from the free throw line and put it here in the same place as MJ and DR J . Or even his windmill from the free throw line .

    Number 8 by Richardson was one of the hardest dunks to do in the word. Off the backboard and still have hang time to go between the legs. Top 3 no doubt, I mean clearly the free throw is overrated since like 10 players can do it easily already.

    Some dunks should indeed be here, but they are in the wrong order. And some dunks shouldn't be here at all, I feel like there are some dunks missing.
    The biggest merit of the list though is to include Dr. J, Wilkins, Webb, Jordan, Carter, Gordon and LaVine. They have ground breaking dunks and MADE the history of the competition. The are among the very best dunkers of all time for sure.
    Also, I'm not so sure if they selected necessarily the best dunks from these 7 dudes, but they are probably their most iconic dunks.
