Who Dunked It Better? Stromile Swift vs Derrick Williams

With victory assured, Derrick Williams unleashed a mighty two hand windmill off a beautiful feed from DeMarcus Cousins in the Kings rout of the Magic over the weekend. Without taking away from the finish, dare we say that Cousins looked a little like a young Derrick Coleman on that play.

Whilst LeBron, JR Smith, James White and others have often blessed us with the one-footed variety, we aren't aware of too many other examples of an in-game windmill from a two-footed take-off.

Enter the Stro Show.

Stromile Swift is the sort of thing you first suggest to your wife when negotiating baby name's for your first born son. A bit like Tyrone Hill and nothing like Ira Newble. Most devastating off two feet,  Stro's array of dunks (and subsequent hand gestures) were highly entertaining. 

Here is a Swift semi two hand windmill to compare against that of Derrick Williams.

It's a no contest really, Williams crushed his with ease, but shame on us for not featuring Stro earlier.

Let us know if we have missed any other examples of this particular dunk.
