Best Dunk in Mason's History?

[GMUSSTN]

I saw this thread on Reddit today and immediately thought of Louis Birdsong's slam during the CAA tournament.

But I know I'm probably forgetting some key dunks so post 'em up in the thread.

Birdsong at number 8 was awesome. Cam Long over Larry Sanders at vcu at number 9. Cam was clearly fouled but got no call since Sanders was supposed to be the next great NBA center. What a joke. George Evans over David Fanning at JMU at number 5. Three of my all time faves.

Yeah, dunking is pretty good, but nothing will come close to Vallance being able to "touch rim". Sorry, back on topic. Only older guys will get my reference.

Both of those would have been called a foul today (defenders would have been inside the circle under the basket).

What about Luke Hancock inbounding the ball off a defender’s back, catching it and going straight up for a dunk for sheer audacity? I can’t remember who that was against.

William and Mary.

Also there was an alleyoop to Mike Morrison that was a pretty cool dunk. I think it came from Cornelius?

Evans at JMU is a clear #1 IMO.

Cam over Sanders probably #2, and then all the others mentioned (included the Morrison slam to seal the deal against Villanova) are all honorable mentions.

Sure would be nice to be respected again. Come on CKE!!!!

I remember that Cam dunk on Sanders. In another timeline I am still standing up, arms folded and yelling at the TV over the no call.

I was in the arena that day and just stopped F bombing the refs about 5 minutes ago

Always liked this Mike Morrison dunk to cap off the win vs. Villanova in the NCAAs 2011.

I'd go with Cam dunking on Sanders as best of all-time. Keep looking at it and just amazes.... a 6'2ish guard dunking on a center of his caliber. Clean dunk

I feel like if there was a Gabe alley-oop montage it would trump all

 

[Quentin Daniels]

You’re all wrong.

Best dunk in Mason history was on T-Mac by the entire Mason community on The Zone over a wedding album bound in fine Italian leather.

Because if you know, you know.

Malik’s oop at home against LaSalle two years ago was nasty. Ball was basically above the square when he went up and got it.

The good old days. Here's hoping they return.

Agreed, at least from the clips shown so far. Can we just all pretend that Tony Skinn's big dunk happened at Mason and not overseas though? That would easily be #1.

And someone help remind me which game Oduro had his real nice dunk in last year? Should get a mention at least.
