Matter of opinion, personally, I disagree

I'm younger then you, so maybe I dont remember the dunk you're talking about. But it sounds like your combining his free throw dunk with his spin dunk along the baseline on Ewing.

Cause he wasn't a great dunker. The only reason his dunks were impressive was because he was 5'6. Other than that, they were nothing special.

That's exactly why its the most impressive to me. I'm 6'4" and I could barely dunk when I was young and in shape. Having a vertical like Webb is unreal. I'm not in to all the creative dunks, flipping it through the legs, blindfold, spins, etc. I like the power dunks and the free throw line dunks....simple but impressive

Spud was a jaw dropper....we may never see anything like it again

I would say Nate Robinson is very comparable to Spud.

I don't know what happened to t-mac, Injuries that were bothersome or lack of dedication, attitude, not the right setting.... I don't know but I would put him right up with Carmelo when he poured it on...a very good player
