The Pro Dunker Authority Index
Every pro dunker, ranked by how the world can find them.
We score dunkers the way Google, AI assistants, and sponsors actually see them — how findable, credible, and citable each one is online. It measures your web presence, not your hops. It’s a snapshot, and anyone can climb.

How to read this: a low score isn’t a knock on anyone’s game — it means the internet hasn’t caught up to it yet. That’s the biggest upside on the board. Green links are dunkers whose personal sites are already live.
