Unassisted dunks are nuthin
1 per team/player? Do they all get a trophy too? Thompson and I’m guessing a couple of others had 2+ worthy dunks.
Jerry – Yes, there’s a player represented from every team. It’s a dunk tourney in the mold of Big Ten tourney bracket. And yes, Thompson had six or seven worthy dunks, all of which fans voted on to decide Ohio State’s representative. Thanks.
I agree with Maggie. Maybe a write in campaign?
Of all the sweet dunks Adrien Payne has had this year, you guys picked his weakest dunk??? Weak…
SLAM THOMPSON
Slam Thompson hands down…only two??
Michigan fan here. Just give all the awards to Ohio’s Thompson and be done with it. Nobody is better…. excuse me while I go vomit.
Sam Thompson best dunker in the Big Ten hands down. Oladipo dunk at OSU was nice but over all Thompson had the most impressive dunks during the year.
The Illini dunk was called a charge so does it really belong on this list?
