Jordan Murphy's thunderous dunk on Rutgers' 7-footer C.J. Gettys went viral Saturday after it got posted on Sportscenter's Twitter account – and tweeted by pretty much anyone who watched the video highlight.
It was sick, as in very awesome.
That led me to look back and rank my top five dunkers in the last 20 years of Gophers basketball. Let me know what you think. Does Murphy deserve to be on the list? Saturday's dunk wasn't the first and it won't be the last time the 6-foot-6 sophomore forward posterizes a defender.
1. RODNEY WILLIAMS JR. 6-foot-7 forward 2009-13 -- Arguably the best dunker ever from Minnesota
2. SAM JACOBSON 6-foot-6 guard 1994-98 -- Didn't earn the nickname Jewish Jordan for nothing (even though he's Catholic).
3. VINCENT GRIER 6-foot-5 guard 2004-06 -- He was a first-team All-Big Ten player out of junior college
4. TREVOR MBAKWE 6-foot-8 forward 2010-13 -- Most ferocious in-game dunks of anyone on this list
5. JORDAN MURPHY 6-foot-6 forward 2015-present -- Led Big Ten with 47 dunks as a freshman
