Rahshon Clark: Top-10 Career Dunks

AMES, Iowa - It all started when he was 14 years old. That was when Iowa State senior forward Rahshon Clark threw down his first monster dunk. His highlight-reel dunks have caused Cyclone fans to come out of their seats since he first stepped foot on campus in 2004 and you don't want to miss out on your last chance to see Clark rock the rim. Clark will suit up for the last time in Hilton Coliseum on Saturday when the Cyclones play host to Kansas State.

“When I was in junior high I started to realize I could jump higher than the other guys,” Clark said. “I knew it was a way I could get the crowd going. Vince Carter was a dunker I tried to model myself after when I first started to dunk.”

Thanks to a 39-inch vertical leap and an explosive first step, Clark has registered an astounding 73 career dunks. One slam stands out the most for Clark, which was ironically his first as a Cyclone. It was his high-flying jam against Virginia in his freshman season that sent off an euphoric roar in Hilton Coliseum and helped the Cyclones knock off the 19th-ranked Cavaliers, 81-79.

“What I remember most about that dunk was how the crowd went absolutely crazy,” Clark said. “The play was set up by two perfect passes from Curtis (Stinson) and Will (Blalock). My adrenaline was pumping when I saw the open lane to the hoop.”

Clark is certainly not a one-dimensional player. He will leave Iowa State as the only player in school history to rank in the top-10 in career blocks, steals and 3-pointers. He also accomplished an unprecedented feat during the season, becoming the only player in Big 12 history to record 1,000 points, 100 blocks, 100 steals and 100 3-pointers in a career.

In honor of Clark's unique dunking talent, the staff at cyclones.com put together a free eight-minute video tribute, highlighting the Top-10 dunks of his career. Click the “watch” link above to view the clip.

Thanks for the memories, Rahshon. Your status as a fan-favorite among the Cyclone faithful will never be forgotten.
