Dunks we haven't seen

[antidan444]

When I was in middle school I lived near a playground with an 8 1/2-foot high rim (good for me, I was 5-foot-nothing) and my friends and I would have dunk contests, so I was always trying to come up with different original dunks. There were always two I'd never seen in a contest — the behind-the-back-in-midair dunk (which Josh Smith pulled off) and a 540. I can't believe no one's done a 540 yet.

Anyway, since I know there are some hoops fans on this board ... any other dunks you haven't seen yet that you'd try?

I know that I've done it in NBA Live 2005, but has anyone in real life done the Through-the-legs-twice Dunk?

[antidan444]

Anybody who 1) tries that, and 2) avoids going to the hospital with a torn groin, has my ultimate respect.

front flip dunk. i think it's possible.

<-- Ish was in the process of learning a 540 dunk before he got hurt last year. He can still fly, but I don't think he has the legs for it anymore.

A backside 900 fakey mctwist while putting the ball behind your back twice and then through your legs.

I would still like to see the rumored pull the quarter off the top of the backboard. There are stories of: Earl "the Goat" Manigult, David Thompson, Dr. J and Michael Jordan all able to do this at one point in their playing days, but I have never seen any actual video of this being done.

I used to play alot at Run n' Shoot in Atlanta an I want to say I saw Rob Martin(aka 50 from the And1 team) pull a 540 dunk off.

I would like to see any type of variant taking off from the foul line dunk, or a from the top of the key. To me distance and elevation is the sickest combo for dunks.

[antidan444]

I'm a little surprised we haven't seen more foul line-type dunks, considering (and I know this is simplifying) how many athletes could probably pull off a 23-foot long jump in track & field.

I'll have to look into the Rob Martin 540 dunk.

The best dunk I ever did (on the 8 1/2-foot rim, mind you, cause I'm no athlete, just a dork who lived near a short basket) was a 10-foot gliding two-handed reverse. A leap from a foot inside the foul line for a gliding reverse would be megasweet.
