Isaac, think the hard part is the force that is put on the Windmill. If you're trying to add the "hate" factor to the dunk, you tend to push the ball down quicker, so you'll bend your arms like you're "shoving" the ball.

Nique made his dunks look bigger because his extension was massive. The man could take off and be a good 1 metre away and still throw it down. He was elastic almost.

Suppose this brings up the question on the "All Time Starting 5 Dunk Lineup". While there are many modern players who can throw down, I'd have to stick to the classics:

C: Shaq
PF: Kemp
SF: Nique
SG: Carter
PG: Jordan

Sixth Man: Howard

Had to rotate Jordan to PG for that team. There are respected dunkers who truly fill that little man spot; but Nate Robinson ruined that for me.

As good as all of MJ's dunks were, whether it be the from the foul line, kiss the rim, all the creative leg movements etc....That Carter dunk that Isaac referred to, is probably the best dunk ever. (And I really dislike Vince weak as piss Carter).

Griffin dunks ala Shawn Kemp.

He's a big man that can pull off Little man style dunks without looking awkward about it.

I only really see a DeRozan v Griffin final w/ Serge Ibaka in 3rd.
