What’s the best dunk in Suns’ history?

A couple of recent dunks in the NBA have set the sports
world abuzz.

LeBron
James’ hurdle dunk over John Lucas
of the Chicago
Bulls Sunday got people out of their seats, but it may
have been topped by Blake
Griffin’s posterization tomahawk
“throw” against Kendrick Perkins
of Oklahoma City
Monday
night.

Anyway, it got us to thinking about the great dunks in
Phoenix Suns’ history — and there’s been plenty of them.

Of course, there was Tom Chambers springboard slam over Mark
Jackson
of the Knicks in 1989.

And Kevin Johnson’s baseline facial applied to
Hakeem Olajuwon
and the Rockets in Game 4 of the
Western Conference Semis in 1994.
