I love that the uniform of that guy from the Jazz who congratulates Larry Nance after his dunk...
 
...and Moses Malone is a pimp in his Nike tracksuit.

Good post. :D

I agree with:
1987: Michael Jordan's Kiss-the-Rim
1988: Michael Jordan's Free-Throw Line Dunk
1988: Dominique Wilkins' Two-Handed Windmill (45? he was robbed)
1986: Spud Webb's Off-the-Floor Reverse
1985: Dominique Wilkins' Double-Clutch Reverse

And, as much as I dislike the current-day Slam Dunk contests, Jason Richardson's original between the legs dunk (a few years back now?) was sensational. :cool:

The Slam dunk contest "jumped the shark" when Dee Brown did his "blind dunk", followed closely by that Cedric Ceballos blindfold dunk. And as soon as the number of contestants dropped from 8, to 6, to 4 - you know they just don't take it seriously anymore.

They need the likes the LeBron, Carter, Bryant etc to participate and give the event some credibility...
 
Yeah those rankings were based on the clips that are available atm.

Dunk contest has died a slow and painful death unfortunately. Last year was weak.

Imagine.. Lebron, Kobe, VC, Tmac, Francis, Richardson.. the quality is there, they just dont care :(
 
i like the few jordan ones.. spud webb...

agree with luke... even though today's contests are nothing like the matchups of the past... there have been some sensational dunks...

i'd rank right up there, isiah rider's (betwen the legs dunk).. and vince carter's performance..
 
VC's 2000 performance would have to be up there in the MJ/Dominique ballpark.. awesome collection of dunks.
 
One of favourite dunks is by a white guy whose name I can't remember. It was a brilliant dunk worthy of mark of the year in which he got a boost from the defender and lifted up even higher.
Shawn Kemp's dunk in the contest in the dunk contest which Spud Webb won. Kemp bounced the ball and somehow caught the ball behind the backboard and only god knows how threw it down!
Scotty Pippen had a great dunk on Mutombo where after he blocked Jordan driving the lane Dikembe started waving the finger. He failed to notice and it was too late when Pippen grabbed the deflected ball and threw it down on him.

That'd be Darrel Griffith?

Still got the '89 Fleer card of him.

Pity that the dunk contest doesn't have the leagues best players like it used to (Dr J, Nance, MJ and Dominique were all stars). Not the same really IMO without the quality.

MJ was following Dr J's footsteps- Julius' may not be there, because it was at the ABA All Star game in 75 or 76....he came length of the court and took off between the top of the key and the foul line...flew to the basket and finished with a monster slam. Nobodoyy had done that before and was the impetus for all the contests.

Julius was the original master of dunkology....
 
The white guy jam was Tommy Chambers rising high on the shoulders of Mark Jackson, Imagine Salmon on Careys shoulders for the hang of all time and the footy equivielent of it.

master.. he was...

however, no need to exaggerate mate...

dr j. took off right on the free throw line... (back of heel was on free throw line, front of foot over the line)...

mj took also took off on the free throw line... but his heel was considerably behind the free throw line...


vince carter's two handed dunk from a step inside the free throw line was incredible...
