Best Dunker in ISU History?

The Naderangelo is another all-timer

That photo is epic. If I was Abdel I'd have that on my own wall at home with zero shame.

There is true artistry and beauty in basketball, when it's played well.

That sequence is like a thunderstorm, it gathers itself under the VA goal, gaining strength. Stinson's pass is a sudden gust of wind that comes out of nowhere. Blalock's is the flash of lightning, full of anticipation, because you know what comes next.. And then Clark is the thunder, full of sound and fury.

It moves so organically.

Say what you want about Morgan's coaching style -- even though they didn't win as much as they probably should have, that was some fun ball to watch.

Justice Thigpen comes to mind with this but maybe that was just more of 'in the moment' or size type of deal.

Ok, so not a great dunk but great moment.
How about the Ice Man to twist the knife that was already in KU back to end the game.

Was great to watch Bill try to chew off his fingers after that play to keep from exploding.

Burton or Stevie Johnson

Wasn't as a Cyclone but this is still ******* hilarious...

See Montes face here? Lol I miss these teams

Immediate reaction is Clark, but Burton has a strong case. The late one against WVU in the Big 12 championship game was ******* epic.

Too young to remember Grayer.

Burtons dunk over Caleb Swanigan to tie the game against Purdue (after being down 10-15 in the second half) - completely gets overlooked given the end of that game... but damn that one ranked up there for me being in person.

We just gave it to Burton for 5 straight possessions and you just knew he was going to dunk on him from the first dribble.

It is Burton for sure with Clark second.

Probably my favorite ISU dunk moment ever though was Fizer against Mihm at Hilton. I believe at the time Texas was maybe tied in the league standings so it was just a huge game. Texas was probably at least top 15. Mihm I believe was the preseason player of the year and Fizer just destroyed him.

I'm old enough to have seen about every one of the Hilton dunks since this one. This one was outstanding...as was the crowd reaction.

Don't think I missed too many this year.

Come on guys.... The answer is obvious here:



In all seriousness I gotta go with Burton. That dunk vs West Virginia in the championship game was just nasty.

How many on here ever saw a game at the armory?

Wish someone would’ve told me about National Punctuation Day so I could’ve celebrated appropriately

Watching Grayer's highlights I'd say it would have to be him.

Can’t find the highlight, but Doug Gottlieb’s reaction to Nader’s nasty dunk at our early season tournament in Orlando in 2016 was quite memorable, especially with the exclaimed “UNNNNNGH”

I will say Burton was just a vicious dunker. .
