I'm not impressed either... it wasn't powerful... he just took off off one leg and threw down a pretty soft two hander... nothing impressive to me.

 :gtfo:

he double-clutched on a fast break through a 7-foot NBA player who was trying to get in his way. with ease.

Plus Plumlee fouled him. But the crazy thing is...it might not be in his top three dunks this season.

It depends what you mean by "better dunker".

I think possibly higher jumper (although Vince never really did try to MAXIMALLY jump to the best of my knowledge... never seen him in that position where I thought "that was his maximum jump").

Maybe here:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHEQQ-KDqlc" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHEQQ-KDqlc</a>

But otherwise, Vince has better power, better body control and is just more creative/looks cooler. But the main thing is the difference in actual power in the dunks.
Current PR status:

All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg
All time bench: 85 kg/Old age bench: 70kgx5reps
All time hip thrust (same as old age hip thrust): 160kgx5reps

Cliche reply: Although i adore Gerald Green's aerial skills, VC in his prime didn't dunk next to 7' guys, he dunked OVER 7'2'' guys:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMrPjl-927Q" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMrPjl-927Q</a>

Can't get over that dunk, in my list it is #1 , tied with the MJ over Ewing one.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Id say Green jumps higher. Better dunker? In game its Vince no question.  Hell I'd put serious consideration on Kobe being a better game dunker than Green. Dunk contest? Well....that I would want to see. Vince has the power and a slight edge in creativity but Green just fuckin flies. Period.

it's a matter of different styles. VC was aggressive and stylish, his dunks always had so much attitude. green seems weightless, he's so graceful even when he's dunking over or through people.

VC is the GOAT, i think, but i love watching green.

that probably wasn't even vince's prime in terms of ups.  his early toronto days were.

So true, he was in Toronto from 1998 to 2004, wish someone would post what he could do in his early days there, for example in the 2000 Olympics.
