My favorite of all time was Mike Taylor going 360 at Nebraska!

I hope someone can still find a link to that one.

Manning was left holding his jockstrap, but the dunk was 200% over Dreiling.

Pretty sure it was Ron Kellogg he jumped over, not Dreiling, and definately not Manning. But either way it got me out of my chair when he put it down.

And I will go with Fizer over Mihm as well. You have to rate the competition, what was at stake etc.

Robinson's dunk against Michigan had significant meaning, but it was your basic two handed breakaway, nothing spectacular

Grayer over Derrick Cheivous of Missouri in '85? at Hilton in the closing minutes.

It was like an exclamation point that brought the house down and left Chevious flat on his back.

Did anyone else see that one? It was the ultimate smack-down!

It was a fast break AND in traffic. And as you say, Grayer wasn't one to hot dog on a break. I think reversing it was the ONLY way he could have made the shot because of the way his body was going.

Not a great dunk, but a memorable attempt: Kantrail on a fast break against Kansas at Hilton in '01. The big fella went up to flush it with one hand and couldn't get it up over the front of the rim. The play x play guys (Ron Franklin and someone) were just silent and the camera went to a shot of Larry, face in his hands in disbelief.

Classic!

My favorite dunk was Marcus Fizer at Mizzou in the 1999-2000 season. He came in really fast, put it down with two hands and swung way up and back hanging on the rim. I'm a big fan of Kelvin Cato dunks as well. Both Cato and Fizer could put it down with a little attitude.
