For the Love of Elevation: Forgotten Dunkers part 1

I have been thinking about doing a For the Love of Elevation: A Decade edition. So I was searching through youtube looking for videos and I could not really find anything. Then I started having a conversation with my homeboy Evan and it lead to him bringing up Jame White. I had totally forgotten about this dude. He was one of the best dunkers I have ever seen. And I definitely thought he was going to be that dude. Especially since he can do this.



this too



Then I started thinking there are other guys who were spectacular dunkers but never really did anything outside of that. So here are a few of them that would Elevate but never elevated to the next level.

Isma'il Muhammad



All I remember this dude ever doing was dunking, and he was probably one of the best. I believe he played against my high school, and went in on us.

Gerald Green



I remember seeing this dude in the All American Dunk contest. When he got in the NBA contest, you thought it could be a chance for him to exploded, but yet he never did.

John Humphrey aka the Helicopter



One of the sickest dunkers, but yet his skill was only AND 1 level. It is funny how the commentator compares him Vince Carter and Jordan. He was a great dunker but I think that Jordan and Carter where better dunkers. They also won their respective dunk contest.



Darius Miles



At one point in the NBA not only could this dude catch any oop that was thrown his way but he was supposed to be the next big thing. He was actually one of Jordan Brands signature athletes.

Harold Miner aka Baby Jordan



Not only was this dude a great dunker but as his name suggest he was supposed to be the next Jordan. Well it turned out he was only the next Harold Miner.

So ends part 1. And I have to say for part one James White is definitely the best out of the bunch, I think he also had a lot more potential then a lot of these other players, he just could never get it going. I have to do some research and then I will get on part 2 later. Shout out to my boy Evan for helping inspire this idea.
