Ruben Patterson: An a-hole on and off the floor, but the boy had ups and attitude. I'm shocked you've all forgotten so quickly.<BR/><BR/>4. Kendall Gill -- just a physical speciman, his elevation was graceful with great power for a 2guard. <BR/><BR/>3. D-McKey -- apparently i too remember things most forgot; McKey was a low intensity high talent player. Remember he was the only guy in the leauge with the athleticism to cover Tim Hardaway, Michael Jordan AND premier big men (albeit temporarily.) Really an under-rated leaper.<BR/><BR/>2. Desmond Mason -- maybe the most fun to just sit back and watch and see what happens. He had that Dominique-Wilkins-Rebound-Dunkability that left your jaw down and your gum on the floor. <BR/><BR/>1. Shawn Kemp -- that McD's game dunk was wicked, and I'd never seen it before. Simply the greatest. Maybe in league history.<BR/><BR/>ricky pierce went to walla walla c.c. and was a wicked dunker there. you have to remember by the time he was with us he was in the twilight of his career. he dunked on my h.s. coach at W.W. and talked smack, "That's on you, white boy!" Heh heh.<BR/><BR/>and a final note-- does anybody else remember the hops GP had in college? He used to catch oops and the only dunk i ever remember him getting in the NBA was the "on Jordan" one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1159898197449158572006-10-03T10:56:00.000-07:002006-10-03T10:56:00.000-07:00How about the worst dunker?

He's definitely the greatest boxer-dunker in Sonic history.<BR/><BR/>One other nomination would be David Thompson - I know his halcyon days were pre-Seattle, but I'll bet he could still dunk when he played for the Sonics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1159833011432056932006-10-02T16:50:00.000-07:002006-10-02T16:50:00.000-07:00I'd have to throw an honorable mention to Kendall ...I'd have to throw an honorable mention to Kendall Gill, if anything for being the only Sonic with the nuts to dunk on Mutombo in the playoffs. <BR/><BR/>Also, in his very limited playing time, Chris King had some filthy dunks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1159817038936525282006-10-02T12:23:00.000-07:002006-10-02T12:23:00.000-07:00I'm down with Reign Man as #1 - kind of a no-brain...I'm down with Reign Man as #1 - kind of a no-brainer. I think Chambers deserves to be on the list, though. He was in that competition with Stansbury if I remember right. <BR/><BR/>I gotta say - Derrick McKey?
