hes nice but wow u cannot compare him to VC in his prime.........
on style alone VC throws this kid out a window, onto the highway, gets off the next exit... gets back on the highway goin the opposite directoin... gets offf that next exit.. gets BACK on the highway where he threw him out the window at and runs his body over.
Nobody touches the air up there............. but this kid got hops.
kid is nice but hes lacking style or rhythm in his dunk. Vince in his prime was much better. James White also can do some crazy dunks like the guy in your video but of course thats all James White can do lol.
He's white, but Renaldo is a lot whiter. So is Luol Deng.
Can This Henry guy play basketball or is he a sideshow?
He's a beast @ 6'7" 245lbs.......but can he ball? Espn says he hasn't played the past 2 seasons of college ball.
I think this should be separate sport.
A lot of people who cannot play or understand bbal can find another attraction.
I think Rex Chapman in is prime can do all those dunks and much more...... Do people remember what Chapman use to do on the Hornets?

Chapman use to throw down those 360's off the vertical. Before Chapman's injury I thought he had more hops than Kendell Gill.
When did you ever, I mean ever see rex chapman take it from the foul line and smash the rim ?
Good call on Rex chapman. He was one of my all-time favs.
Still rex chapman was more famous for his jumpshot. Anyone remember that shot he made running out of bounds playing for pheonix in the playoffs? Breath taking.
Yeah, not bad, but notice, he's well inside the paint when he's going up. Not in the NBA baby!

It didn't look like that kid dunked from the foul line. I have seen guys in park dunk from the foul line and smash it. That's probably why I'm not impressed by foul line dunks. As far as Rex jumping from the foul line, the foul line is not the only dunk. Dominique Wilkens could not dunk from the foul line. Jason Richardson can not dunk from the foul line. Does that mean that Scottie Pippen and Brent Barry are better dunkers than Nique and Jason Richardson because Barry and Pippen could dunk from the foul line? Also we really don't know what Chapman limitations were before his injury. But I can talk about his Windmill dunks, Tomahawks, in games and 360's. Example Eddie Robinson was known to dunk with two hands from the foul line but never did it in a game. Shawn Kemp could dunk from the foul line with two balls in practice but never got it down in a game or slam dunk contest. The kid has hops no doubt, however he is doing dunks that have been done before. We don't know what kind of dunks Chapman would have done if someone had already introduce these "Vince Carter Dunks." There are many kids now a days going to the park jumping inside the paint saying they jumped from the foul doing that dunk.

Chapman was never the same after his injuries. That's why he was not known for dunking because he could not throw it down like that anymore. His shot was good all day.
i still say that Kadour Ziani dude is the best white dunker i've ever seen.

That's that crazy bastard that can kick the rim right? He's insane. He's a frail little guy too. Isn't he from Moroco(sp?). He jumps like someone picked him up and threw him. Insane athlete. His stuff doesn't even look real.
All you gotta do is play around with youtube one day. There are a lot of sick dunkers out there.
Spider from And1 fame can do the between the legs dunk and finish it with an elbow dunk. Talk about impressive at 5'9" tall!
I used to know this big jamacian guy that could jump on one side of the rim and dunk it on the other side! He was 6'5" and a pure soccer player.....goalie of course. He used to come out to play with us "to get a sweat". He couldn't play worth a damn but man he could jump and he could do some incredible things. It took us a long time to get him to stop goaltending. How often do you see a guy blocking tear drops while they were still on the way up? We had to stop games to ask people watching if that was goaltending. Incredible....he never touched a basketball in Jamacia and he didn't come over till he was 20. He was into workin though, he didn't come out with us often.
Screw Rex Chapman. He could jump but he was a finesse dunker. You want some real top-notch white dunking? Check out Dan Majerle's first 5 years in the NBA and you will see more sick power dunks than you can shake a stick at. Tom Chamber would dunk circles around this kid too.
You want another good white dunker? Check out some Bill Wennington! Chris Andersen gets nice too.
But seriously Dan Majerle was crazy with his slams for a while.
oohah

what about that dude in And1 that can do the 720 dunk... that has to be the sickest dunk i've ever seen.
DLee won the slam contest his senior year at the Mcdonalds allstar game. He was 6-4 at the time.
DLee is white.
Paul Westphal for a 6-4 shooting guard had some nice hops back in the day.
