Pat Harty tweeted tonight that he thinks Eric May is the best Iowa dunker since Ricky Davis. Brendan Stiles countered with Doug Thomas. I'm incl inclined to agree with BStiles, and I would actually put Thomas ahead of of even Davis. What do you think? Who's the best dunker in Iowa history? Is it Davis? Thomas? May? Someone else?
 
If you're going by who looks the coolest maybe Thomas. If you're going by who dunks the most it might we White. I'm not sure there has ever been a hawk that dunks every time he is close to the rim like White does.
 
Most impressive ingame is Doug Thomas... I do remember seeing a few bball camp (yes im a tavern hok) contest where Darryl Moore threw down some insane dunks.

I go by whose in-game dunks are/were dunk contest-worthy. Eric is definitely a guy who brings the crowd to its feet, but Thomas is the best I've seen in Black and Gold.

I would have to agree although it is really cool watching White throw them down all the time. If Gabe gets some more basketball skills he could end up being one of the best.
 
All you kids with your Doug Thomas', and Eric May's....pffffft

Gerry Wright is THE MAN when it comes to throwin down. Game. Set. Match.

JDM? Stormin'? twinlaker? HawkeyeShane? Billso? gohawkz? damnfinn? gohawkz? xerxes? DJL? AtomicBlue? Tvismylif? Can I get a wut wut?

PC, did you see Gabe miss two layups that should have been thrown down tonight?


That is a main reason I said he needs more basketball skills. He could have easily thrown them down but the game moves to fast for him right now and he gets to anxious.
 
Pfft, #3 Gerry Wright and it ain't close.

I will say that DT dunk at 1:25 was SICK.
