Now if someone can only find the Glover Jackson dunk from I think 95, then I will be impressed, you had to be there, but I swear he jumped from the 3pt line forward, then twisted to lay on his back as he glided toward the rim. Easily the best dunk ever in the PMAC

I was there for the Glover Jackson dunk, but it just can't compare to Vernel Singleton's against I want to say Arkansas St. Vernel came down the right wing on a break, got the ball and took off from what seemed like two steps outside the lane. While he was in the air a defender stepped in front of him. Vernel's thigh hit the defenders head and shoulders causing him to go perfectly horizontal to the floor as he continued to the rim. He slammed leaning more sideways than Jordan could ever manage and then proceeded to land on his feet. The refs incorrectly called it a charge but it didn't really matter. The PMAC was buzzing for about 10 minutes....longer than the buzz from the Shaq dunk shown above. I was there for that one too...I think they were actually the same year. Singleton's dunk was plastered on ESPN's plays of the week. Wish I still had the video. Of all the games and moments I have been present for in the PMAC, I have never seen the crowd so awestruck.
