Spud was the best small man dunker. Actually 5 ft 5 in, no muscle mass and couldn't palm the ball. Unbelievable!! I remember after he won the slam dunk contest, a team of scientists at a Texas university tried to determine why he was able to jump so high without much muscle mass or height. They're explanation was he had abnormal fast-twitch muscle response. Basically, he is a human flea. 😆
I went to college with Spud and you should have seen the stuff he did at school when no cameras were around. We watched his dunk contest win in the school cafeteria that afternoon.
never seen that before. The way he looks down at all the bigs he just skyed over while hanging from the rim...bro looks inhuman, like that video of a gibbon pulling a tiger's tail then retreating 10 feet up a tree in an instant
Didn't that violate the rule where players behind the 3pt line can't get in before the ball hits the rim? Edit: I realised which one you were talking about🤦♂
I used to be able to dunk easy in high school at 6’1, now I’m in college and 6’4 and can’t dunk anymore smh this video motivates me to start working out on my vertical again
I think for that particular dunk the defender was actually being kind and trying to make sure he didn't fall harshly. Like in an extended clip they look at each other, and bro gives him a nod like "you good?" then lets him go. I could possibly be thinking about a different dunk, but I'm decently confident its that one.
Isiah was as complete an NBA PG as anyone who has played. He could do any and everything all of today's top stars do. He could go coast-to-coast like Ja, handle like John Wall, control tempo like Chris Paul, shoot like Steph, and score in bunches like Donovan Mitchell or Trae. His game was tuned to winning, first at Indiana and then with the Bad Boy Pistons. It was rare when we got to see him unleashed, but when needed, he would put on a show ...
Nice list...But I was hoping to see Dee Brown...A tick over 6ft but I just remember getting into NBA...This guy was dunking over people, doing tip-ins and blocking people (There's a ridiculous 2 handed swap out there) A dunk over 7'7 George Muresan...He even goes around Jordan on baseline for a Jam... Then the 91 dunk comp where he pumped up he's Reeboks...That was so iconic...
Craziest dunk from a smaller player was AI in his rookie season. He out jumped Marcus Camby and dunked the ball on an offensive rebound. It was wild seeing him get up over a 7’ Camby
Listen, this is why I LOVE point guards above any other player position. Small point guards to be exact. I'm 5ft8 and have weighed 145 all my life. I don't know for sure but it's gotta be genetics because I'm 47 and I can still dunk. I've never played ball at school because of the pressure. When I see Nate Robinson and Isiah Thomas do it, especially Big Head who's a half inch taller than me and heavier, it makes me feel like it's me in there. I've never seen Rondo dunk though and that was the highlight for me right there. I live in Louisville and have played with Rajon and I've never seen him do anything but make plays so that's crazy
That's crazy. Being 5'8" and able to dunk is crazy enough, but at 47 years old? I'm about the same height and age as you and estimate I've lost about 8 inches off my vertical since I measured it in high school. In HS I could touch a little over 9 feet.
Notice how the “little guys” are essentially tossed into the first row as soon as they make contact with the bigger guys under the basket. It’s like a tennis ball hitting a basketball…
That my friends were the times when basketball ment everything to us. That Kj dunk on HAkeem was everything. I remember that like it was yesterday and I'm 51 yrs old.
I first saw PackMan at a preseason exhibition game against Seattle. He juked past Gary Payton [!] and then dunked on Jack Sikma--climbed his chest and bounced the ball off his head. I turned to my friend and said, I think that guy just made the team.
I cant be the only one who didnt know Rondo was under 6'2". He looks taller on the court. Not like guys like Trae or D Rose who actually look smaller than their listed height.
I know it’s not a dunk, but the most impressive jumping ability I’ve ever witnessed was Nate Robinson’s block on Yao Ming. That’s an insane amount of hops for a little guy to have.
I only did players 6'1" and under, that's why you won't see any Baron Davis, Ja Morant, Derrick Rose, etc.
Donovan Mitchell was 6'2''... The announcer even said so himself!
@Max Nah mans 6’2 but ian worried that much about one inch…. Pause.
Don’t matter, still fire video💯💯💯
Derrick rose isn’t a true 6ft 3 . Real rose fans know he more like. 6’1 6’2. Mitchell probably taller honestly but it’s cool we know about rose
@@jamesdodson1780 you can Google it, he’s 6’1”
Kevin Johnson dunking on Hakeem was iconic.
Bruh for real!
My brothers favorite player
With the legendary Dick Enberg on the call.
His and Starks on MJ and other Bulls.
Two of the greatest dunks ever, what an impact.
Saw that on live.
I love how it’s called “little man dunks” when they are all taller then me
well how short u expect em to be? 2’11💀
Even Isaiah?
You an even littler man😂
@@kmsbismarckhoodaintshit4242 5,6
@@matthew2159 in wheelchair basketball
The one with Rozier is beautiful. Paul on Howard was crazy, knowing that he never dunks. Kevin Johnson on Olajuwon was insane too.
Watching Allen Iverson was like watching Barry Sanders… he was just different than everyone else.
Good analogy 👍🏼. I’d put Bo Jackson in there too
lol, barry sanders was a smoothass dunker, too.
His dunk at the end was my favorite of the entire video, so disrespectful haha
Brings me back to good days when defenders didn’t run away from the opportunity to block a dunk!
When it was a man’s game
LeBron still does that
It's such a missed part of the game. Fuck your pride, COMPETE!!!
@@strings_attachedGreat point cause he has been getting smashed on increasingly as he ages

Not the best but impressive… best goes to Nate…easily
hes 5'7 not 5';5
Get the heck out of here, you can't be serious.
5'7 broo 👍
@@suavelosofficial8639 Spud Webb is the gold standard of 'little' man dunking
Man, Spud could really fly
Too bad he only dunked maybe 2 or 3 times in game during his career.
I went to college with Spud and you should have seen the stuff he did at school when no cameras were around. We watched his dunk contest win in the school cafeteria that afternoon.
@@stonedog23 Man, if only phone cameras where around in those days!
@@maniac1075 pretty sure he dunked more than that
Nate always had the best lil man dunks
Truth! Love the fire!
And he only got one highlight how that work 😂
Absolutely
Sweet cut through with the between the legs move to get open for the dunk, too!
Most overrated dunker ever.
The differences in the announcer's reaction to Chris Paul's dunk is mind blowing
can we get a hyped play calls from hornets announcer that gets increasingly more hyped?
Humdiddlydee 🤣
Good golly miss Molly!
terry how do you doooo
In my mind before I saw this I knew that exact Allen iverson dunk would be the last dunk
He did it perfectly, KJ on Hakeem and then that AI put back
He just went on up there and got it. nice
never seen that before. The way he looks down at all the bigs he just skyed over while hanging from the rim...bro looks inhuman, like that video of a gibbon pulling a tiger's tail then retreating 10 feet up a tree in an instant

U don’t hoop no more?
you got this big homie, go get it
You should be at least be able to run graze. If you grew 3 more inches and could dunk.
Cap
Bro either you got injured or fat cuz ain't no way you had bunnies like that and lost them that quick.
This is honestly one of the best ones imo
Facts..
that first kevin johnson one was crazy. He rode the defender like a piggyback after
that shit is always crazy, the disrespect 😂😂

Like in an extended clip they look at each other, and bro gives him a nod like "you good?" then lets him go.

The defender was John "Hot Rod" Williams.
I think people forget how athletic young cp3 was
You forgot until you saw this 🤣😂
@@NateWilliams.. possibly 😂😂😂
Current NBA fans have "forgotten" a lot of things that happened before LeBron went to Miami ...
A lot of unathletic guys are decently athletic when younger.
He's 6ft
That Isiah Thomas putback in the beginning blew my mind
IKR! I never knew he could throw down
@@djmarksthespot me neither he got up there easy too

Where?
@@blacklyfe5543 first clip
I like that the video is short too
To be fair most of them are as tall as the average American male. They only seem short compared to the freakish heights of other NBA players.
@@stoiccrane4259 no they are actually taller than the average male in the world. A 6’ 2 6’ 3” guy is a giant compared to average of 5’ 8
@@stoiccrane4259 lol nah avg is about my height and I'm not dunking a thing about 5'7
lmaoo
@@stoiccrane4259exactly I'm 5'10 which above average height yet these dudes still tall to me
When Kevin Johnson dunked on Mark Eaton it was like he was taking the elevator up to the upper room.
.. you didn't see that one huh?
I was a good bit taller than Spud Webb when I was in 8th grade. Had a 10 minute conversation with him outside my middle school waiting for my ride.
This teaches us to measure a player by his heart, and not by his height!
Eric Bledsoe the biggest little guy in this video 😂 strong ahh
Nice list...But I was hoping to see Dee Brown...A tick over 6ft but I just remember getting into NBA...This guy was dunking over people, doing tip-ins and blocking people (There's a ridiculous 2 handed swap out there) A dunk over 7'7 George Muresan...He even goes around Jordan on baseline for a Jam...

KJ the best in this compilation. So explosive.
really gotta give AI the tie with KJ
3:11 Chris Paul’s dunk was so nasty!
EVERYONE reaction to KJ on The Dream 🤣🤣🤣
the AI one so iconic
The first clip is why dunking is necessary in some situations. If Tyus Jones had tried a layup instead then Lebron would of blocked it
Stop it Mark Jackson 🤣
This should be against the law, son! 🤣😅👍😭😂
Jark Mackson
The Giddy Yup Ride em Cowboy dunk is a very lethal dunk indeed 😮😢
it never occurred to me how much of a highlight reel Eric Bledsoe has.
That chirs Paul dunk on Dwight never gets old
@@Smoky50cal That who dunk?
I saw that Kevin Johnson dunk on The Dream live on TV. It was otherworldly.
HE TOOK SOME SOULS
Good god I love commentators without filter
Glad to see the Lawson dunk. I remember watching it live
That should be against the law, son!
Craziest dunk from a smaller player was AI in his rookie season. He out jumped Marcus Camby and dunked the ball on an offensive rebound. It was wild seeing him get up over a 7’ Camby
Straight up. I didn't realize AI could get up like that I was too young to watch him play.
Where's Robert Pack?? He was the most vicious little man dunker in league history!!!
Bruh I said the exact same thing.....they need to do their history foreal
He was always listed as 6'2", which makes him ineligible for this list. But the Program Height probably included his epic high-top fade ...
@@jricoc3475 lol
Noooooo! He did my Sonics way too bad when Denver eliminated us 😢 no hate tho, he was bouncy
I was watching that suns game live when K.J. dunked on Olajuwan. Absolutely incredible. 1 of the best shot blockers ever if not the best. Just sick.
Spud Webb was my absolute hero from his days at NC State.
Nate Robinson was so fun to watch. His athleticism was insane and he could dunk on anyone.
If you think Nate's athletic, you should take a look at the guy that knocked out Nate cold.
Was hoping the Iverson dunk would be the grand finale, good comp!

Legit the video I've been waiting for. Short kings, rise up!
"You have to put up with a lot of stuff at a smaller size...but if you don't believe in yourself no one else will"
Spida is 6'1, 215lbs and is considered little by NBA standards. That's wild.
Notice how the “little guys” are essentially tossed into the first row as soon as they make contact with the bigger guys under the basket. It’s like a tennis ball hitting a basketball…
“Terry Rozier, HOW DO YOU DO?” Lmaoooo that took me out 😂
Rondo always landing from a dunk like he got knocked tf out
everytime Rondo dunks he almost dies
Chris Paul dunking on Dwight was iconic. I didn't really think Chris Paul could dunk or it's a rarity.
@3:50 Rookie Donovan Mitchell was such a good one.
Should been called the Eric Bledsoe and Nate Robinson highlight reel.
"If you didn't like that, then you don't like NBA basketball" is the worst catch phrase I've ever heard, cease and desist
some cringe shit right there
That my friends were the times when basketball ment everything to us. That Kj dunk on HAkeem was everything. I remember that like it was yesterday and I'm 51 yrs old.
That Bledsoe alley oop so crazy g
Them kevin Johnson dunks is crazy
Geez I remember when Bledsoe was goin crazy in Phoenix lol
robinsons dunk against portland is fuc%$g crazy maaan
U forgot my man Robert Pack...in Denver that caught Kemp slipping ..I was mad..😁
I first saw PackMan at a preseason exhibition game against Seattle. He juked past Gary Payton [!] and then dunked on Jack Sikma--climbed his chest and bounced the ball off his head. I turned to my friend and said, I think that guy just made the team.
I love the mic placements to capture the rim rock.
Imagine being called little at 6ft😂😂 this isn't fair
6 feet is little you start getting big at 6,3
Damn it’s crazy how 6 feet is considered tall to the average height in society but the moment u step into a professional court u considered small lol
At 6"2 and in highschool, I was able to jump with all my power yet only to TOUCH that ten foot rim.😆
If you'd had access to the training techniques young guys do today, you would've been able to dunk for sure
@@popeye697 no Popeye that's just black talent
3:36 commentator fire for this yo, "this should be against the LAW SON" 🤣
KJ over The Dream, the greatest shot blocker of all time, is one of the best dunks ever. And I say that as a Rockets fan
Rare and one of the most exciting highlights you'll see in the nba. Lil guys dunking on a seven footer. 💪
Damn spudd webb still amazes me
Regular-sized people dunking
I cant be the only one who didnt know Rondo was under 6'2". He looks taller on the court. Not like guys like Trae or D Rose who actually look smaller than their listed height.
Rondo has long arms and big hands. He's built like a 6'7" small forward, just in a compact size ...
I always thought rose looked larger than what he's listed. 6.5 or so
The piggy back ride dunk 😂
the Charlotte announcer always gets me😂
Chris Paul with the dunk over Howard is like a kid dunking on his bully 💀💀
When ur 6’1 n can’t dunk then see this video 🥲
I had a whole argument about rondo dunkin on players and Dwight Howard 🤣
00:26 Kevin Hart
Nah 2:28 was dirty😂😂😂
No Robert Pack? Best little guy dunker of all time.
Need baron davis
He’s 6’ 5” that’s medium
@@Bence-ht8kc he wasn’t that tall lol maybe more 6’3
Great call on that Ty Lawson dunk. "That should be against the law, son!"
Yeah those little 6’ 3” guys with little 10 inch verticals!
You forgot Darrell Armstrong's layup in the dunk contest.
Kevin Johnson on Olajuwon was a total baptism
This Eric Bledsoe highlight reel makes me feel so unathletic
Little man dunking over the elite defender in lefraud. Now THAT's a poster dunk. 1 of many against the fraud king.
I was always amazed at how Nate Robinson could dunk over much taller defenders.
3:30 is my favourite 😂 Riding Ewing like a damn horse hahaha
That wasnt him 😅 they played against Cleveland
Why was Rondo always on the floor after his dunk like he got shot?
😂😂😂
I know it’s not a dunk, but the most impressive jumping ability I’ve ever witnessed was Nate Robinson’s block on Yao Ming. That’s an insane amount of hops for a little guy to have.
6’1 considered short is crazy work
And Javelle McGee wonders why Shaq roasts him so much
3:00 explains it
Rondo just dies every time he tries to dunk
Now this is exciting to see !
Nice Vid.. need to add Robert Pack. He caught some bodies also
The Elevator of AI as always the best.
Iverson, kj, Bledsoe, and a few others I loved watching them go after those big dudes!!! No fear
A.I caught Marcus Camby with tip dunks a few times in college too
Last dunk from iverson one of my favorites ever, putbacks are challenging
Spud Webb was something else bro was flying
Stevie Franchise the G.o.a.t. of small dunkers, 6'3
Not having any spud webb dunks is kind of crazy for this particular video.
