You may have seen the Keon Bell dunk at the Pepperdine’s Midnight Madness last week - the one where he leaps five of his teammates en route to the slam.
(It’s five in the video kids)
That’s the coolest dunk I can really remember seeing, except perhaps watching Baylor freshman Britney Griner become the first woman ever to throwdown with ease.
I’ve posted the videos of their dunks after the jump. Be sure to vote, interested in what you all think. I’m going with Griner, since she’s absolutely a pioneer in being able to do what she does. I honestly think she could completely change women’s basketball if she gets the proper amount of exposure and marketing.

I’m going with Britney’s dunk, because at least the first one is in an actual basketball game.
the 5 man jump has no value to an actual game, because if you have to jump over 5 men on your way to the basket, all four of your other teammates are open for an easier shot.

If someone plays basketball and is as tall as she is, with arms as long as hers, they should be able to do a lot more impressive dunks….neither dunk is that great. The guy pushed off, which carried him over the last 3 or 4 guys and then he acted like a bafoon afterward. The girl might have a vertical of 16 inches…. maybe. I’d rather watch a 12 year old on a 7 foot hoop.

With all the dunks we’ve seen in our lifetimes, seeing a woman dunk doesn’t do anything for me. They go up with one hand and dunk the ball. To me, it’s nothing to get out of my seat and cheer for.
If they start doing 360’s and under the leg dunks, then I’ll be impressed.

i’ll take girl with nerf ball doing the yao ming dunks over the push off dunk and celebration that made the WB frog look modest.

She’s like 6′9″! If she couldn’t dunk, I would feel sorry for her. Big whoop. Dude’s dunk isn’t much either, but at least it has some flair to it
