The phrase "slam dunk" has entered popular usage in society over the years.  It's meaning: a "sure thing"- an action with a guaranteed result.  While the players and their rankings that make up this list might not be a "slam dunk" in the eyes of some readers, there should be no debate over the fact that each one of these ballers was a high flying...posterizing...athletic beast during their prep school careers.  In compiling this list of players, there was basically only one piece of criteria that was a MUST...there had to be at least some high school footage of the player available.

Since not all of the best high school dunkers had accessible footage i.e. Michael Jordan and Dominque Wilkins (yes..they could throw down in high school) there were many names that had to be left off this list.  By no means are the players that made up these rankings the only great dunkers to ever put on high school jerseys. There are a number of players that could easily have made this team i.e. Lebron James and Kobe Bryant to name a few. It was difficult to leave these future hall-of-famers of this list, as well as the other high flying hoopers that could have made the cut, but it ultimately came down to my own personal opinion as to whom I found the most exciting to watch dunk a basketball in high school. So...with all that being said...as of right now...here are Top 10 High School Dunkers of all time (IMO).
