HoosierTownie Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I Don't recall many highlight dunks, and knight probably would have considered some of the dunks we see today as showboating and benched him, but I remember hearing stories of Andre Harris grabbing dollar bills off the top of the backboard at practice. But to answer your question, I would have to say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the old joke goes: Harris could grab dollar bills from the top of the backboard, and still have time to leave change on the way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have watched about 5 games from that era lately and Tolbert running the lanes for a dunk was a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Vic absolutely stands with and above those guys, the romanticizing of the past knows no bounds. And yes, I watched those guys live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Were players allowed to dunk when George McGinnis was in college? Have to think he could put one down if he was allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 We’ve had our share...I remember Greg Graham, Steve Hart, of course Vic and OG but guys let’s be fair...we give Justin Smith a tough time but he has thrown down his share of monster dunks and hopefully his best is yet to come lol.

IUFLA Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 For pure violence without worrying about form, Tolbert hands down. McGinnis by rule couldn't dunk, but he would get the ball over and just outside of the rim and kinda flick his wrist downward. Technically not a dunk, but it was damned close. And he threw some of the prettiest behind-the-back passes I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Best dunker, or best dunker that was worth a damn in other aspects? Because Hanner Perea could put it down. Problem was, that was all he could do. Well, that and get arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just thinking about him too. Besides the Duke dunk....did we ever have another player score as many points in a season on dunks? Felt like he was always dunking the one year he played for us.
