I was wondering if anyone had any good pictures of that awesome dunk of Diaw's over Dirk.

I've checked suns.com, AZ's newspapers, and some of Dallas' but the only one I can find is this the one I attached.

Thanks in advance.

Theres nothing up on Getty Images which has the biggest archive of sports photos, nor is there one on Sportsline, so its going to be really tough to find one.

I say it's on par with the Amare over Olowokandi and the Clips dunk. Amare's slam was sicker, but Diaw's dunk gets bonus points for it's playoff implications.

KJ's dunk on Akeem(#1 shot blocker in NBA history) was one of the greatest dunks in NBA history.

Don't forget Majerle dunking over 7' 6" Manute Bol.
I have an autographed photo of that on my wall, it was a great dunk!

However, I think the one of KJ is maybe the best.

Manute was not nearly the shotblocker that Akeem was. Akeem was the best I've ever seen in 35 years. Micheal Jordan became a jump shooter when Akeem was patrolling the lane. That KJ, at 6'1", could do what so many other greats could not, dunk on akeem, and do it so dramatically has to make that dunk in the top 3 all-time. Dr J had some truly great windmill dunks over big men that were spectacular, but KJ's was an unexpected shocker like no other.

The KJ dunk is my favorite of all time.

I also like the KJ dunk over hot rod when he came down sitting on his shoulders.

Everything about the KJ over Hakeem was great, I just wish that series would have turned out differently.
