Clyde Drexler
Shaedon and it’s not close
Shaedon Sharpe. I’ve never seen someone who jumps quite like him. Its not just his max vertical, which i’m sure is one of the highest in NBA history – but the way he glides and seems to just float in the air… Its special stuff.
It may be a bit early, but Shaedon Sharpe is one of the best dunkers I’ve ever seen.
It has to be Clyde Drexler
Legit thinks its Shaedon, his rookie highlight reel is legendary – which is crazy to say….
It’s Shaedon but Elliot Williams deserves an honorable mention
Clyde Drexler. Shaedon is still too raw.
I want to say Shaw, but you always hear about how much of a physical freak Drexler was. Drexler
has to be Clyde.
Jerome Kersey or Billy Ray Bates.
I mean it has to be Clyde, right? We’ve seen like a season of Shaedon in total.
Clyde overall but Shadon giving a good run for his money
Clyde
Meyers Legend
My mind went to Travis outlaw. I remember hearing he could touch the top of the backboard at some point.
Blazers held their pre-season exhibition at Civic Stadium one year and had a dunk contest. Drexler wowed everyone with a dunk on a 12-foot-high hoop.
Brandon Roy if we had gotten him before the knee injuries in college.
Clyde is the correct answer though.
I’m kinda surprised nobody has mentioned Danny Ainge. Everybody on this thread’s idea of athleticism just seems to come down to vertical jumping ability. Is there maybe more to it than that?

Clyde
Clyde the glide no doubt

I’m gonna be mad if Sheed isn’t on this list anywhere.
