Wow...that really was sick!

What a crappy alley-oop though…I guess it paid off in the end.

My fav Mizzou dunk of all time will forever be the Rickey Paulding dunk against K-State though or maybe the alley-oop he got against Iowa.

Alley-oop against Iowa or his dunk in the NCAA tourney

where he took off from about one step inside the FT line…but I will always remember the Iowa dunk the most just because of all that was going on in that game (#2 ranking, AD botching the over-selling of that game by SUCH a huge number when the students stayed in town after school closed for the break)

The Iowa alley-oop...

…was easily the best dunk as far as atmosphere, reaction, etc. Paulding’s crotch dunk against KSU was the best I’ve seen in terms of humor and posterization. Bowers’ might have been the best in terms of pure degree of difficulty. As high as Paulding had to jump to catch that Iowa alley-oop, Bowers actually had to have the coordination to reach back and completely change the way his body was moving…I did like Lawrence even saying that was the worst pass he had ever thrown. But hey…if it was a good pass, it wouldn’t have been on SportsCenter…

Don't forget . . .

Paulding’s tip dunk against Marquette in the NCAAs. That was not humanly possible.

Wesley Stokes was quite the whipping boy for the faithful, but once he left, the 45-foot alley-oop to Paulding disappeared. Some enterprising member of this site should scour youtube and compile the top ten dunks of Rickey Paulding.
