Jabari smith.

Amazing show with him and swift in.

Am I crazy or did he not do that dunk 2x that year. Once in beginning of season and once in a big game?

DeWayne Scales had a bunch of monster dunks in the late 70s. Incredible time for LSU basketball.

Yes he did it in the first game against Southern if I remember correctly.

Edit: It was Grambling

Rudy Macklin leaving from the foul line and dunking it over Charles Barkley. Barkley was called for a foul on the play, while lining up for the free throw Barkley walked up to Macklin at the foul line and shook his hand.




That's quite a bit of detail about 2 guys who never played against each other. Barkley was a freshman in the 81-82 season. Rudy's eligibilty ended after the 1981 Final Four.

And to answer the OP's question - Dominique Wilkins dunking OVER Leonard Mitchell standing flat-footed trying to draw a charge. Wilkins wan't having it and just jumped over him.

No videos but Dewayne Scales was an absolute freak with dunks.

Not called The Astronaut for nothing.

McNeese. I was there—this was late in the game and there may have been 600 people left in the PMAC. My friend and I had moved to right behind the basket on the floor and were sitting next to Mike the Tiger when it happened 10 feet in front of us.

Not in the PMAC but the Astronaut Dewayne Scales dunking on Sam Bowie at end of 80 SEC championship game to seal the victory is the answer!!!!!!!!!!

PS Rudy didnt dunk over Barkley because Chuck was still in high school but he did have a monster dunk over Auburns 6-9 Darrell Lockhart in 81!!!!!!

It was Stromile Swift. Pretty sure he was looking down into the rim.

Glover Jackson. If it is the same one, I remember it as him as being almost horizontal with the rim.
