Greatest Slam Dunk Champion Ever – Part Four
Read parts one, two and three of this series here. In ranking these champions, I want to completely exclude their overall skill as basketball players, and focus solely on their ability to dunk the basketball.

This group of five is easily the most stacked. So many studs, from different eras, with different dunking styles.
