I loved Vince's performance, but Zach Lavine & Aaron Gordon had one of the best dunk contests in the history of dunk contests!
The best
That’s probably why there will never be a dunk contest that good ever again best contest of all time

Gotta give respect to Spud Webb!!!! One of the shortest guys ever dunking with the big boys!! Hella respect!!
yeah but his dunks were boring AF but because he is short they gave him the 50. SMH. facts
@@chicago1680 most dunks were average back then compared to now even Dominique
@@tariekhlindsey7800 I agree but that dunk of his was just a regular dunk. I know I grew up in that era. It's just because he was short that was it nothing else
@@chicago1680 I'm from Atlanta and we were when he beat Dominique that year
@@chicago1680 9:18 ? You blind son
That double tap on the backboard by Nance was sick AF. It was sneaky sick too, like it took the announcers a moment to see what really happened
The “okay, I was doing that in high school” got me
Vince's first "honey dip" was that way too. Looked routine until you saw where he was hanging from.
Zach Lavine and Aaron Gordon should've been the first co-champions of the slam dunk contest.
Indeed
nah jordan and doninique in 88. they were both neck and neck the whole contest. but all star weekend was in chicago so...
Yes
@@eddie9244 True, it was jordan all star weekend on 88. But during this year we saw the best version of jordan.
It’s one of those things where if Gordon won we would’ve said Lavine should’ve. But Lavine won so now we’re saying Gordon should’ve 😂😂🤣.
I have a strong feeling to go home but I’m already at home
Every one of these are awesome but spudd Webb is exceptional, being 5'7 and dunking is amazing. I'm 5'10 and I can't even touch the rim lol
Just read about him, he could dunk when he was only 5’3 and had a 42” vertical. 😳
His is the only one I really had to see again
Man looked like he bounced off of a trampoline. It’s unreal
It all matters with the vertical
Everyone talking about Vince, Zach, and Aaron.. I wanna take a second to appreciate that off-the-backboard Nash header to Amare from 05, man that was a top 5 dunk for me personally.
it’s soooo underrated
Hella dope dunk indeed
AG: Cures cancer Judges: 47

Not sure Aaron Gordon can go initials only. I had to think about that one.
Im dead😂
I still think that Aaron Gordon dunk where he’s sitting in the air is the nastiest dunk I’ve ever seen
Pretty crazy. I always loved the J Rich off the backboard through the legs.
How did he keep his balance? Best Dunk ever
@@dpeace99 Peer reception, particularly that of NBA All-Star fellows should be the indicator. That's why Vince Carter, Jason Richardson and Zach Lavine are my top 3 dunkers in SDC history. It measures greatness but also greatness of the current state of the game during that specific time.
Hell yeaa
Yeah it is
Aaron Gordon's dunk is the greatest dunk of all time, but man, Vince Carter's and MJ's dunks with the crowd pop, makes it all the more memorable to me.
Jordan's dunks don't belong in that stratosphere.
@@emmanuelenyinwa1443 mj dunks for the most part are overrated
Everything is relative to time
MJ dunks were legendary and original in the 80s before between the legs and other jazzy dunks, but no one looked better in the air like MJ. People would buy MJ posters and hang it on their walls. It’s not always about how they look but how they make you feel. And I bet you have a pair of shoes that have MJ dunking in your house.
@@incognito_. Uh, NOBODY looked better in the air than DR J. Then, after that, Vince Carter. Jordan looked nice in the air, but to suggest no one else did is the sort of things brainwashed bots say. As far as poster dunks, Jordan had NOTHING on Dominique Wilkins or Clyde Drexler. Look up the footage.
80's and 90's, someone does a regular dunk just with emphasis: OMG that's a 50. Nowadays someone does a triple salchow while making a hot dog in mid air and then completes a 360 windmill dunk: Man, I wish the dunk contest was like the old days.
Thing is, that's NOT accurate. Dunking hasn't evolved since the 2000 contest. VC STILL has the best performance 23 years later. Even the 80s dunks are still high on the all time list. Don't boast your ignorance
@@davidlitchford7714bro this is not to shit on Dominique but if the winners beat dunks next year were just niques it would get called the worst dunk contest ever

Till this day Kenny is still trying to go home.
He sounds like the perpetually sober ‘designated driver’ begging his friends to leave the party so he doesn’t miss his curfew.
It’s 2020 and I don’t think KENNY went home
As an old guy, I have seen nearly all of these dunk contests in the years that they were done. I have to say the 1988 Jordan vs Domonique was the most entertaining as it went back and forth and you really didn't know who was going to win. The Vince Carter dunks were the most exciting as the dunk contest was getting boring/routine in the previous years and he re-vitalized it with original dunks. As for the "best" and coolest dunks, I actually think they were done by Aaron Gordon, still cant believe he never won!?!
I've seen most of them...can't quite remember back to '84, but I was alive....and agree, those were the three standout years: 1988, 2000 and 2016. '88 was a slugfest between Dominique and Jordan. 4 50s out of 6 dunks in the finals. 2000, Vinsanity was on another planet, but TMac and Francis put on a hell of a show also. And 2016's battle between LaVine and Gordon was as good as '88.
Man Jason Richardson’s dunks were insane, such power 💪🏻
He's insane
To see those smaller guys fly is unbelievable.
Nah u just gotta be black
Man, I wish Muggsy Bogues could dunk too! 😁😁

@@Dimaz42 He did... but never on match.
Yo you comment on every sports video I ever watch why are you evrywhere

Thank you
HAHAHA!!! I LOVE IT!!! borderline "run forrest, RUN!" Haha
Gavin Navarrete completely irrelevant but okay 👌
“Shout caster”
This was unfunny.
4:48 This is still the greatest dunk I've ever seen. I'd never seen anything even close to this before.
13:20 is much better
Some truly breathtaking dunks and athleticism but but but!..... Spud Webb has absolutely no right as a human to do what he did. 5'7 tall and to this very day it just blows my mind!
That Zach Lavine Aaron Gordon battle was epic
you mean rigged?
Gordon got robbed
Best dunk contest !!!
Gordon got robbed big time. I feel bad for him
Spud Webb should get 50 points just for dunking
He did..
That's exactly what happened
@@lionelpolo221 Also because off-the-backboard dunks were considered a novelty in those times
Bruh he spud is smaller than Curry
The Dank Froggy 60 if he puts his arm in the rim
Gordon’s dunk over the mascot, J-Rich’s between the legs from behind the backboard and Iguodala’s dunk behind the board are the best by far. Not only are they espectacular and difficult, they are dangerous.
My goodness the vertical on Spud Webb was insanity.
Carter is still king. No matter what. He'll sit on that dam rim if you asked him
My name is carter. So I’ll take that as a compliment
Lavine and Gordon were really close, they made awesome show... and non-NBA, Jordan Kilganon tops Vince in dunks
Carter Guthrie shut up bitch
Top 5 dunkers in my opinion Vince Irving Blake Kemp Lavine

@@yugiyami8642 even if you use standards from back then, he did the same dunk multiple times. Still an impressive dunk today but if someone came out and did the same one 3 times in a row that would be lame. Dude was super athletic.

at least u get to see superstars in a dunk contest. You'll never see Lebron, Harden, or Durant in a dunk contest in todays nba
Not enough people in these comments are talking about that McGee dunk @7:50. That was utterly insane!
Underrated dunk for sure. He should have won instead of Blake Griffin.
It looked so unathletic. Definition of uncoordinated but tall
I don't see it. It didn't look good at all. And that's what it's all about. Entertainment

@@vanhuvanhuvese2738 This isn't wrestling! and there's been someone who has done a free throw dunk in almost every coemption. Even the other one... basic AF, announcer had to make shit up to make it sound cool "Look at the hang time, look at the flying motion, his head is above the rim" umm yeah dude, that's called a dunk. Dude was trying to make it sound like MJ was actually in the air longer than anyone else SMDH
@Umb O ok the fact you called vince carters dunks boring makes anything u say invalid
Shaq's reaction while recording Vince Carter's dunk with that big ass camcorder is priceless 😂
True! I always laugh everytime I see it! But the second reaction to "air canada" dunk is even more priceless! 😂
The fact that Spud can do that at 5'7 is insane
Blesdsoe dunk was sick!! Really surprised me!! Awesome compilation I loved some of the 2000 dunk contest footage they enhanced to HD on some dunks. All judges should be required to watch this before the Dunk Contest, so they know what a 50 looks like. I like how pure most of the dunks were, with no props or extra people. They could improvise in the air. It was about power, grace, difficulty, and style
50s are given way too generously in this contest.
Nowadays not back then
Basic windmills and tomahawks should be a 30 or 35 at most
@@Yell2x no always has been
dr three point god did you even see some of the older ones? Lmao. They gave MJ a 90 for literally the same dunk multiple times
Coming from a man who's never dunked in his life I agree, because us fans know what true dunking talent is am I right ? ..... fucking idiot
Why is nobody talking about the dunk by Amare Stoudemire at 6:13 lmao, like that was perfect from Stoudemire AND Nash
I think Amare did just basic dunk, Steve Nash did the 50 points
Because it was shithouse
That was one of the most creative dunks I've seen
Because Josh Smith stole the show that year
JayJay because it was actually a creative dunk and bad ass
That Dennis Smith Jr. between the legs dunk is underrated af, that was a high degree of difficulty
Man! AG! His dunk over the mascot while sitting in the air will be forever legendary. It is so sick! Damn!
6:18 one of the most creative dunks ever.
One of?
Nah, those types of dunks shouldn't be allowed. They're entertaining but they rely on someone else to do half of the work.

The most creative dunk is Blake Griffin when he brought in the Car

Man, Zach combines grace and power like almost nobody on this list.
Bro, Spud Webb was such a spectacle. Just making a normal dunk would have been a 50, but my man here was doing 360's and stuff. Absolute LEGEND.
There's a guy who does the dunk circuit that calls himself Anthony Height. He's 5'6 with a measured 50" vertical jump. The shit he can do is MIND-BLOWING!
@@SDesWriter, I'll check it out.
@@SDesWriter it was 46" actually, which is still absurdly crazy. Spud couldnt palm the ball either, which makes it that much harder.
@@davidca96 I think you were looking at an old video. I've seen him hit 50" on one of those vertical jump testers. Kilgannon can hit 50" as well.
Who else thinks Jason Richardson is underrated
Could have won three straight dunk contests, but instead of playing it safe on his last attempt in 2004, he tried and missed a more difficult one and lost to Fred Jones. J-Rich's dunk titles were the only thing to look forward to, as a Dubs fan, between Run TMC and We Believe.
J Rich was freakin ill bra. Him and Dominique Wilkins aka The Human Highlight Film are the underrated Dunkers.
His off the glass, between the legs dunk, is the best dunk in dunk contest history. Not MJ, Not Vince, Not Lavine, Not Gordon. But in game dunk, Vince Carter the GOAT
And Desmond Mason too
Eric Zhu No
8:56 Those reactions are priceless.
Came into this stuff with Isiah Rider in '94 with 12 years old. Still loving this, always loved the atmosphere with the contest and the sound of the successful dunks. Appreciate this video very much, my small young version is smiling, thank you!
Jordan: can I have a Bic Mac meal and a diet Coke? Judges: that's clearly a 50.

That Gordon dunk with the maskscot spinning is the greatest dunk of all time thats crazy to me how he timed that beautiful
Absolutely perfect.
I think him sitting in air is better
I thought Amar'e's dunk at 6:12 was possibly the toughest one to pull off live. Aaron's was nice too though
With the Carl Malone hand on the back of the head while doing the scoop 360 windmill. I don’t understand still
Him sitting in the air over a mascot while putting it below his legs and dunk, that is imo, the greatest dunk i dunk contest history, and it’s not even close, just unreal...
Vince's walk offs after a dunk are the stuff of legend.
Imagine if when he did it blindfolded, bro ran straight to the crowdd
Vince, Zach and Aaron got to be the GOATs in the dunk contest. I still feel Aaron was robbed. He had originality, style and difficulty.
& spud
He drew the wrong opponent Aaron was more creative but Zach was more graceful and made it look effortless I was rooting for Gordon but understand why Zach won
J Rich in there too
Don't forget Jason Richardson too
Don’t forget Ricky Davis

Judges still gives him 50 because of his UNMATCHED hang-time end of story.
They are the same but he did go from the free throw line on one so that’s gotta account for some of the points
Are we all pretty much in a unanimous agreement that Aaron Gordon definitely should not had lost that one?
I had never even heard of this Zach Levine guy but man that is the best dunker in history. His dunks are just so controlled and clean while also being super powerful!!!!
6:56 is an underrated dunk

Spud Webb being 5'7 and doing all those dunks is simply insane... I love Dom's power dunks and always enjoyed watching them during games... the Levine vs Gordon competition was the most athletic/craziest in my opinion.. damn
Jordan's dunks are not as difficult as others tbh but his hang time and majestic look when he flies is just incredible.
He dunked from the foul line…the foul line!!! His dunks were phenomenal!
That spud Webb dunk when he threw it up and reversed it is actually pretty tough😭🔥
