The 20 Nastiest Dunks in Kentucky Basketball History

The Kentucky Wildcats' tradition has spanned several decades. Fans know this. Foes have to acknowledge this, even if they do so begrudgingly. Included in this rich tradition is a nice collection of great dunks...

I was going say WCS needed more love on this list, then I saw the article was from 2013.

That was awesome to see those dunks. Thanks for sharing, OP.

I always loved seeing any of Walker’s dunks. Surprised there was only one in the top 20. Even more surprised that Minniefield’s dunk wasn’t number 1. Dude broke free from the forces of gravity that prevent mortals from doing what he did. I still don’t understand it.

I still think the dunk by Mercer from a DA lob was one of the best dunks in UK history. He went so so high to get it and caught it with his finger tips. I remember Pitino saying he did not know Mercer could jump that high. I think... It was against Vandy.. Been a loooooong time.

I know its not the usual name, but Marcus Lee had some nasty put-back dunks in his career at UK.

Great, great video, but I think Dwight Anderson’s at #12 is ranked a little too low.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Derek Anderson on Nate Johnson in December 1996.

 

[UK90]

I know he was a bust as a player, but no other UK player ever took off from further out on a dunk than Daimion Collins here:

 

[Rondoed]

Jack Givens was never known to be much of a dunker.

Nastiest dunk was James Lee vs. USSR almost tearing off the arm of a Shaq-sized Russian

 

[Cleatortoises]

Minnefield rose up like nothing I've seen. Before or since.
#1 in my book.

Two of my favorite moments are the Ulis to WCS windmill dunk against AU ( I KNEW we were gonna win it all that year, but lol no....)

and that WCS block on that Arky dude where he just stared him down like "The eff you think you're doing?"

WCS is still one of my favorite Cats, just too bad he went ghost against Whisky.

Great video. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for this.

This list is missing James Young.

 

[bigbluedon]

Minnefield rose up like nothing I've seen. Before or since.
#1 in my book.

None of the others are close. Unreal that wasn’t #1. I was at that game and never heard Rupp that loud.

Yep. Dirk is clear #1

Enjoyed watching the dunks but that wasn't a very good list. It way over emphasizes 1996-2012.

It was made at the start of the 2013 season, so nothing post 2012 would be on there. I would also guess finding dunks from the 70's and 80's online is not easy.

Because it was written in 2013.

Yeah. I understood that.

 

[WildcatsAndBourbon]

Perry Stevenson doing the least Perry Stevenson thing ever.

Derek Anderson on Nate Johnson in December 1996.

That’s the first video clip I ever remember watching on the internet.

 

[TopCatCal]

This AD dunk pretty much put the finishing touches on our Final Four win over Louisville.

 

[rick64]

Minniefield dunk would be my top pick.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Willie Cauley - Stein.

 

[Kycatspaws]

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Yep. Dirk is clear #1

For me at least Minniefield NOT dunking and missing a wide open layup against UL at the end of regulation in elite 8 game disqualifies him cost us a title IMO

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

MKG Portland dunk was one of my favorite as well as the dunks Miller had vs St. John's & Ole Miss in 2012. Joe Crawford's Louisville dunk is on that list but one of his dunks I will always remember came on the road in Houston during BCG's first year. Hubert Davis was on the call for that game and even he got excited after that one.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

List is a joke since it doesn't list James Lee. Can't be taken seriously

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Willie Cauley - Stein.

One of my faves all time.

 

[hmt5000]

Rob Lock really needs a shout out...

The Minnefield dunk was No. 1, IMO ... and not even close. He seemed to defy gravity in that moment to deliver a crushing dunk. I've never seen anything since that could compare.
