Did Uncle Cliffy really not dunk?
That's what the chart accompanying the print edition of this story says:
The table says he went "dunkless" for two of his many seasons in the league. Were either of those in Portland?

What's funny is that there aren't any "short dudes" on the list. Maybe white men can't jump!

I believe that Uncle Cliffy was kept below the rim with the NJ Nets. I think he was something like 40-41 years aged.

When he left, he started pulling a Rasheed. Being in deathly fear of contact under the basket, he started floating outside and trying to can a lot of 3 pointers.

One other thing, Oakley being dunkless surprised me, he camped out under the basket for rebounds and enforcing.

My memory must be failing. I thought Oakley once shattered a backboard with a dunk.

I don't think they're saying that he never dunked, I think they're saying that there were three seasons during his lengthy career that he didn't dunk.
