Best Slam Dunk Contest ever?

  • Skyhook79
    With Lebron being scared of losing and backing out of the Dunk contest it got me thinking what was the best dunk contest ever. This is mine.

    Best Contest IMO was the Francis-Carter-McGrady contest in I believe 2000. Vince did a sick dunk that had his elbow hanging on the rim.

    Best one I've ever seen was on during a commercial prior to the Super Bowl between Lebron and Dwight Howard. Some pretty amazing dunks!

    LeBron skeerd...LOL

    Not nearly as much as it would appear Laker fans are of being irrelevant.

    Sans the bogus premise...either the one of many that showcased 'Nique or when Spud Webb won.

    I prefer the old Jordan vs Wilkins contest.

    +1. In addition to Jordan (’87 champ) and Wilkins (’85 champ), the participants included the ’86 champ, Spud Webb (all 5'7 inches of him) and the ’87 runner-up, Jerome Kersey.

    97' was the best year

    What a surprise.

    Jordan was not GOAT dunker. IMO his dunks were overrated, certainly not dime a dozen but his "trademark" dunk from the FT line is being done by high schoolers now

    kinda funny that his trademark dunk isn;t even his

    Come on 2quick, I know Kobe threw down a few nice dunks, but that contest was weak.

    Vince Carter is the greatest dunker of all-time IMO, so I agree with the dudes above.

    Agreed...Best dunk contest ever, and Vince Carter is the best dunker ever.

    Fun fact about the 2000 contest, Larry Hughes actually competed......and finished last. Sounds about right.
