Best Dunk in MU history

[Knight Commission]

Just saw that Doc Rivers dunk at ND in 1982 on Marquette Overload. Thinking that is > than Wade v Kentucky

[We R Final Four]

1. Terry Reason 360*
2. Deonte Burton middle of the lane.
Don’t recall who they played in each instance and I was at both games!
Deonte was the game that MU honored Butch Lee.

Amal on the receiving end of a half court alley-oop on the break from Tony Miller was ridiculous. Circa 1994/1995.

Thanks for checking in, Amal, and for reminding us of your ridiculous dunk!

[ATL MU Warrior]

Amal had a couple of nasty dunks on me at the rec one time I got stuck “guarding” him. I hit a couple of 3s on him though!

Thanks James! So good

Amal choked up over these great memories.  Thanks everyone!  Very humbling.

D Wade. UK. Elite 8.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

The "and 1" against Kentucky is Wade's most memorable dunk but his dunk against East Carolina was his best in a Marquette uniform.

Henry threw tons of great alley oops to Wade, too.  My favorite was the reverse jam at DePaul.

DJ had several incredible jams this past season. Not sure where they rank, but a couple had national announcers screaming praise.

Have never seen the East Carolina dunk again after seeing in person. Does MUOverload have access to it? Was there no TV that game?

[BM1090]

I'm probably in the minority but I don't think Wade's dunk vs. UK was great. The moment was awesome, but remove the situation and I wouldn't put it in the top 20.

was that an alley-oop?  i remember a wade dunk on an alley-opp against a forgettable team, and i had pretty good seats right behind the wall for the admirals game so i was at player level.  the ball went up, no one could really see wade as he had a wall in front of him, and he just rose up above everyone else out of what seemed like nowhere.  it's one of those plays when you realize the unbelievable athleticism, coordination, timing, speed, power, etc.

My memory has it as a MJ dunk contest leaner style. There were lots of other incredible alley oops though. Memories are weird though, not sure if I have it right.

Ron Curry at the BC against Penny Hardaway and Memphis.  Circa 1993 I believe.   End of the game and got fouled. He asked Logterman if ball went down.  It was really nasty.

No mention of Michael Wilson shattering backboard in Memphis?

It was along the baseline from the right side of the hoop, in front of the student section.  It was preposterous

[NolongerWarriors]

Terrell Schlundt alley-oop to Doc against Louisville in 1983.

That's the correct answer.

Blew the roof off the Arena and forced Crum to call a TO, as MU was rallying.

MU ended up losing the game, though.

There it is!  The one against DePaul was the best I’ve seen.  Apparently he ripped his fingernail off on the rim.  I was there at the Rosemont and that dunk had everyone out of their seat.  No tv so I never got to see a replay of it but it was insane!

Unclejohn from the other board had photographed Wade, mid flight on that dunk.  MU used it, on their ticket brochure the following year.  I had the picture as my wallpaper on my computer for a long time.

This is what I was going to post.  The most memorable (good) MU play when I was a student,m. I can still picture it.

Even though we lost, that was a hell of a game. Like a heavyweight fight where both boxers were just throwing haymakers the whole time.

Yes! Was at that one also.

I only saw it in person....and it was a tight game....4 or 6 points.  The Jerry curl was flying through the air.
I would love to see a wisn highlight of that.

[brewcity77]

Best missed dunk was Burton against Wisconsin Lutheran. Don't think it was even televised, but he put so much force into it, the ball shot up off the rim a good 30-40 feet straight up. It was seriously more impressive than had he finished it.

Yes—if I recall it was an over and back because the missed dunk came all the way out to half court. Or something similar to that.

Yes—watch all the games with my daughter and every time...it was OMG!
Next week...DJ drives the lane....hammering dunk....OMG!
Surprised each time. Highlight in a dismal season for sure

It was amazing that he was able to pull off the old "fake dribble hand-off drive for dunk" play as often as he did.

Was at that game. The best part about it was that it was in the last 30 seconds of a 20 point blowout over the cards. NO MERCY

[The Lens]

Wade vs. ECU

Next.

[Goose]

The allyoop to Doc is very, very high on my list. Artie and Burton were the two best overall dunkers imo.

[MUfan12]

Wade vs. ECU

Next.

I've often wondered if the fact that only the 11,000 in attendance actually saw the dunk added to the mystique of it.

My dad and I were sitting in 410, which was on the opposite end of the floor. Wade drove left baseline and took off from what I thought was an absurd distance. Nope. One hand hammer on Moussa Badiane, who was the leading shot blocker in the conference.

That is a great picture. It doesn't even look physically possible to dunk the ball from that angle and distance.

That was the best I ever saw live.  The pass being so poor and Doc somehow reigning it in and completing the dunk was just amazing.

Doc's adjustment was unreal. That was a special dunk in MU history.

No one can out dunk me at Dunkin Donuts.

And probably not in the conversation for the best dunk in MU history, but a damn fine performance and fun to watch.  All three stars involved in touching the ball.

I was at the opposite end in the student section and many of us didn't cheer, we were stunned and in awe of what we had just seen.  Then the pic came out and it showed how incredible it really was.

Wade's reverse ally oop at DePaul later that season was also incredible. Cordell put up the pass and then Wade went reverse and it was a total "holy s--t" moment.

Derrick has had a nice steady post-MU career, even developed his shot to serviceable levels, I like seeing that from our alum

The infamous Ners "That kind of reminded me of me" dunk.

[BM1090]

Sacar had a couple of very good ones. One @ PC in 18-19 and then one @ SJU in 19-20. Neither reached best dunk level but were as good as some on the earlier list.

Ja Morant over Joey

I felt bad for Joey on that. Bailey got burned on a great bounce pass and was nowhere to be found, Theo was frozen when his man made the pass, and Joey had to drop off his guy on the other side of the lane to come over and try to defend as Ja was taking off.

One of the few hilights from an otherwise pretty dismal senior year. Went from enjoying a S16 and an E8 my first two years at Marquette, to that.

Billy Hoyle:

I was at that Marquette-DePaul game at the Allstate Arena where late in the game Cordell through an alley-oop to D-Wade who caught the ball with his back to the hoop for the reverse jam. Wade happened to cut his finger on the rim. The oohs and ahhs could be heard for a few minutes.

Recently I received a phone call from Cordell who let me know that he has been looking for a tape of that particular game. I let him know that I had it and made a copy for Cordell, for which he was grateful.

Fortunately, I was at the game that day and had my father-in-law videotape the game.

One of the unforgettable moments of Wade's collegiate career.

Go Warriors!

our group was sitting behind what was left of the DePaul student section which was the end that the dunk happened. We saw Wade go up and then rotate in the air and reverse it. Absolutely incredible athleticism. Please post the video if you can!

Same.  And I'd settle for just the dunk and and Mason shot.
