I stand guilty of calling all fair-haired bench guys Cherry.

Nice Link. It also showed Leslie McDonald in action as well.

UNC just a tradition of ridiculous dunkers. Just look at this future Tar Heel.

Johnny,

That was not Cherry it was McNairy who was a high school teammate of Stackhouse if memory serves.

I wonder if Paulus will provide the incoming Dook dorks with invaluable insight as to what type of salt they should bring to either UNC game, lest they get a healthy serving of nuts.

Back to the dunkage, the best Vince-UNC dunk was one that never happened. In the 97-73 demolition of #1 Dook in the first meeting in ’98, Vince took an alley high off of the backboard, but threw it down to far to the back of the rim. The result? The ball bounced out to AO and he pitched it over to Shammond who nailed a three. I always thought that Vince deserved a .5 assist for that three.

All of these posts and yet no mention of the Marvin Williams dunk vs. VT in ’05. He levitated with the defender literally draped all over his frame. He took to guys up, one came down Marvin Williams and the other came down as a poster child.

Wilf, I really felt bad for KGeorge after that Dunk. He looks so much like a gentle Giant, and I knew that the much undersized Tyler was capable of doing that to him, and he did. Looking forward to seeing Tyler do it again this year against Olek/Plumlee/Singler.

Vince Carter is the best dunking machine I have ever seen. Yes Stackhouse was great. Yes, MJ was great. Yes, Doc J was great. Yes, Shawn Kemp-Clyde Drexler-Dominique Wilkins. Vince has them all beat in my opinion. While the Duncan dunk was great, he still has other numerous ones that are even better. BTW, thanks for giving that link to us. I love watching VCarter put it on Duncan.

UNC33, I’d forgotten the duck over Duncan, truly awesome.

BTW, this year’s dunk by Tyler over George is the “most in your face big guy” I’ve seen.

The Stackhouse dunk gets the nod in my book. It was more athletic and he did it against 2 defenders (I like Mixon’s “14 feet” comment) who didn’t flop.

A friend of mine–who went to State while I was at UNC and who couldn’t care less about college athletics–mistakenly called #44 “Iroquois” Parks one day way back when. I’ve never referred to him as Cherokee since.

I still think Carter’s dunk over Duncan may be the best dunk I’ve seen a UNC player make. Look at where he takes off from and how he adjusts in the air.
