The East Coast's Best Dunkers

| 3 Comments

If the West Side has their list, you best believe the East Side will have one too.  Yeah, if you want to say this is similar to the east coast/west coast rap feud, feel free.  It just isn't right if both sides aren't represented to the fullest.  Before we continue, I will say this:  While the east does have its share of good dunkers, there aren't any Keion Bells or Paul Georges.  Does this mean the west coast has the best dunkers?

I didn't say all that.

With that in mind, here are a few more of college basketball's nasty high fliers, courtesy of the east coast.

DeQuan Jones
As a high-flying sophomore for the Miami Hurricanes, DeQuan is probably best known for that vicious other-side-of-the-rim dunk he threw down against North Carolina last year.

That's what we in the biz call "filthy." Not only will Jones hammer whatever Tar Heel is in his way, he'll also clown popular incoming freshmen if they are dumb enough to try and take a charge.

Chris Wright
If Dominique Wilkins didn't exist, Dayton Flyers forward Chris Wright would own the "Human Highlight Film" moniker by a large margin.  Hell, his dunk against Marquette alone warrants such a designation, but if you take time to check out his YouTube highlights, you see he completely embodies the nickname.

As I was saying, the "Human Highlight Film" for the new generation has to be Wright.

Durrell Summers
Durrell solidified his choice with that nasty little number he threw down over Stanley Robinson during the Big Dance.

That's not the extent of Summers' dunking ability however. Over at YouTube, there's a nifty little video of Summers doing a left-handed 360 dunk at Michigan State's Midnight Madness celebration.

Stanley Robinson
Speaking of nasty, UConn's Robinson might be the best put-back dunker in all of college.  Need convincing?  Allow his dunk over the entire Michigan State basketball team to introduce itself.

Need more proof? How about the one against Villanova?  Yeah, it's safe to say Stanley Robinson is quite gifted in the vicious dunk category.

Bonus dunk
If I link to John Wall getting dunked over, you can bet I'm going to feature him in a more glowing manner when given the chance.  Wall, besides being one of the more hyped freshmen in recent years, is also a very adept finisher.  See this dunk he threw down at Kentucky's recent Big Blue Madness for further proof:

So yeah, that's my list. Did I leave anyone off? Probably, but it wasn't intentional. If there is a glaring oversight, however, be sure to hammer it home in the comments.

Well, damn. I was hoping the comments would let me post an image. Alas, it did not.

My reply to everything Twilight-related:

Pick Toor

You know what would be a nickname for someone who couldn't dunk, but was really angsty and emotional all the time?

The Human Twilight Film
