Yes, yes, yes, yes and.............Yes!... the best dunker in Duke history?
Maggette, Henderson, Hill, Henderson, Jones... we’ve had some ferocious dunkers... hell, even Mason and Grayson... Is Zion already at the top of the list, or not quite yet?
This can’t be a serious question. He’s been one of the best dunkers ever on any level for the last two years
He's well on his way. Waiting for a Jason Tatum like assault dunk on some poor tar heel dumb enough to challenge him. Would love to see it happen at the dean dome with either big Luke or little. That'said wish for this year. OFC... the best dunker in Duke history?

I seem to remember a reporter asking him during an interview sometime this past summer I believe if he would do any of the big dunks like he’s known for while he was at Duke and he said something to the effect of “probably not because we’re all going to be focused on winning and Coach K would probably get mad if I did”. That was the first sign that he just wants to win. We’ll definitely see lots of power dunks and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see him dunk from the free throw line a time or two this season.Not even close. With his size and jumping ability nobody can compare. I bet he would do a lot better dunks in the games if Coach K let him. I would like to see some windmills or 360s but I have a feeling he doesn't want to show off like that. It would be awesome if he dunk from the foul line in the game which I wouldn't put it past the kid

Grayson's dunk was v MSU in the semi, wasn't it?I thought Johnny Dawkins did a fair job above the rim.
Lots of the other mentions have a specific dunk that is the memory hook for everyone.
Henderson’s dunk over Mourning
Allen’s dunk on the baseline in the NCAA Championship.
Gerald Henderson’s dunk on Maryland game.
Grant Hill’s dunk in NCAA against Kansas.
Zion will have too many to chose from. When there is “that dunk” that everyone remembers it will be re-defining.

lol Thanks! I missed that and the phrasing confused me.

If with that last bold part you mean Zion's dunks would "split the vote," sort of, allowing someone else's dunk to win in a poll, you're probably right. I don't know that having too many to choose from makes his status as a dunker any less defined, though.
(You'd already answered the question I asked him.)Why did you quote my post and tag Dattier?
Oh ok thanks, I must’ve missed where you asked the same thing.(You'd already answered the question I asked him.)
The only thing going against Zion is there are no more Mournings, Sampsons to posterize. He will have to do his signature dunks against UNC or in the FF ala Hill and Grayson.[/QUOTE
Sorry, love seeing you post here and all that, but this is one convo you can’t really be a part of, what with not being a Duke fan.
