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.
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:
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

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

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
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.
That’s the first video clip I ever remember watching on the internet.Derek Anderson on Nate Johnson in December 1996.
This AD dunk pretty much put the finishing touches on our Final Four win over Louisville.
Minniefield dunk would be my top pick.
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
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.

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.
I like the minniefield dunk as #1...minniefield lob from half-court to Bowie should be on the list...Kenny Walker should have more representation, he remains the best dunking machine I ever saw play for the Cats
David Robinson scored 45 In rupp against Rob man those were some lean years at Kentucky
I second this. There were some great dunks but go back and watch that one.. It is unreal its like he is walking up to the rim . Crazy
Absolutely Positively.
I was sitting 5 rows from the basket.
I've told others 1000 times that was the greatest dunk I ever saw anywhere.
