Breaking from tradition today, Rick tells two stories of some of the greatest dunks in basketball history. All great dunks have names, and these two are no exceptions. The Lister Blister was performed by Shawn Kemp of the Seattle SuperSonics when he windmill jammed over the head of Golden State’s Alton Lister, and Le Dunk de la Mort, or The Dunk of Death, was tomahawked by Vince Carter over French player Frederic Weiss at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
