    Ted Turner owned my cable provider and the Hawks at the time, and he showed all the Hawks games to promote the team.

      When you're 6 ft 9 having your head at The rim isn't that impressive actually I'm sure Dominique could have done that 58 when he was younger probably not super impressive but if you look at the pro-dunk leagues just like 10 years ago there was a guy named t dubs 5'9 the guys got a 50 plus inch vertical and the current crop of guys there is a few one guy at five six that can get his head level so this isn't that impressive when you look at the pro dunking circuit

      The only reason why I believe it was not higher is that it was Dominique's Go to dunk when he needed guaranteed points, so they've seen it quite often. It to me is very similar to the dunk from the free throw line, that It has been seen so much now even though very few people can do it that it does not Garner the same amount of excitement and Prestige.

    No bigger MJ fan than me, but that 2 hand windmill was EPIC! Should have been a 50. Jordan's last dunk was superb because he brought it down and the back up for the dunk. He took off from a few inches further inside the line, but made up for it by having so much room at the end. He didn't even have to reach out to put it down.
    Only better free throw line dunk ever was Zach's where he put it down on the side of the rim. Great contest, apologies to 'Nique for the Chicago judging. These two, Vince, and Zach v Gordon are EASILY the best in NBA contests.

    The Free throw glide Dunk with so much verticle the second time around is a Masterpiece Signature MOVE that's LEGENDARY.
    Wilkins is Fire!! Great bout!
