Fun fact - the views of Vince Carter's honey-dip dunk @ 11:35 (and the earlier view of the eastbay @ 6:36) are two of the first live High-Def camera shots of all time. It was experimental since no one had HD tvs yet (not even 720p). Notice how it looks a lot better than other clips even up to 2003 or so. It wasn't all-HD until 2005. And this was recorded in 2000. Consumer HDTVs weren't around until 2001-2002, and there wasn't really any HD content on TV until around 2003.
Zach and AG going down as the goats. Watching that ‘15-‘16 contest was like seeing two aliens. I almost tore a calf muscle the way I was hyped watching it. I don’t think it will be topped anytime soon
I feel like LaVine doesn't really get the recognition he deserves with the dunks he pulled off against Gordon. Both of them made incredible dunks but people always say that Gordon was robbed when in reality they were equal imo
Although the 80s dunks might not be competitive today in their degree of difficulty, guys like MJ and Dr. J had incredible elegance, smoothness, and body control. Look at the way MJ angles his whole body flying toward the basket.
Zach smoked him. Zach did two of his dunks in the same contest just to prove his dunks were easy. Even a kid in High did the under both legs dunk mid game. Yall dudes who can’t touch run are weird.
During the 2000 NBA All-Star Weekend, Carter showcased arguably the most memorable Slam Dunk Contest event in its history. He won the contest by performing an array of dunks including a 360° windmill, a between-the-legs bounce dunk, and an "elbow in the rim" dunk . In fact, Carter outlasted Steve Francis and teammate Tracy McGrady during the epic dunking showdown.
My favorite thing about these weekends is seeing all of the players interact with each other. For just ONE weekend, everyone is friends and everyone celebrates together. It's dope to see the brotherhood.
Shouts out to Stansbury at 04:05. That man really did a 360. Most times you see guys enter at an angle. This guy left the ground facing the basket, started rotating on the way up, and pulled through really quickly. Almost like a pirouette in mid air.

J-Rich Really Had Two Of The Top 5 Dunks In Dunk Contest History IMO , Off The Glass Between The Legs And The Reverse Between The Legs Will Still Get 50’s Today
My favorite team from the eastern conference is Atlanta Hawks. As an Atlanta Hawks fan, the players are doing cool tricks for the game. Such as: dunk, air ball, and others.
Even though MJ has his signature leg pump / frog leg jumps after the launch, you gotta appreciate how Wilkins made it look like his legs walk / glide in the air with little to no leg bending and still reach his hand above the rim.
Reggie's comment on Javale's 2-net double dunk was perfect "I don't think there's anyone else on the planet that can do this." Javale could have been a star if he had bball IQ to match his enormous physical gifts.
2018 donovan's dunk is just so Simple .why he get so many applause，just jumpover 3 Squat down people，I think 90% of the people who can dunk can do it too.

The Ceballos fakery @6:06 was by far the worst one. It still makes me shake my head that the judges fell for it. Embarrassment for the NBA. Edit: Gerald Wilkins @19:10 was pretty garbage, too. Taking off from near the inside circle for a straight 1-hand dunk is weak in a dunk contest.
Let's be honest here. How many of y'all did not expect Aaron Gordon to do the Under-The-Legs Dunk? I thought it was impossible until I saw Aaron Gordon did it. 🤯 Granted Lavine's free throw dunks was one of the best, but to me, Aaron Gordon's Under-The-Legs Dunk is the quintessential dunk. ❤
Love Aaron Gordon, he clearly had the most creative dunks ever, and more vigor and power. But Lavigne was more stylistic, and he was doing it at longer distances, I see why he won (and deserved to). But Gordon had me feeling like he-man yow. Greatest dunk off ever, I don't think there'll ever be another duo that could top that. They took everything from the past and modernized it
Саша Раевский лучший!!! Экс-капитан национальной сборной Украины по баскетболу!!! 1м85см по 45-50 очков за игру на протяжении 12 лет!!! Всегда Лучший бомбардир чемпионата Суперлиги!!!
Why didn't Aaron Gordon EVER win at least 1 dunk contest, not even ONE!!!! NBA has the nerve to show this man's dunk package and he has never won a dunk contest after participating in 3 of them...THREE DUNK CONTEST!!! C'MON!
Yeah. 2nd best dunk contest dunker of all time (ahead of Lavine/Jordan and behind Vince), and yet never won a dunk contest. Insane. You could argue he's even better than Vince because of his larger reportoire. Would love to see Vince vs Jordan vs Gordon vs Lavine live in their primes in a dunk contest in 2024.
Gordon's dunk at 1:45 is simply the greatest dunk of all time
I agree
Facts😊
Yes but reaction-wise 6:25 is goated
He should have won the moment he literally sat on air
@g1lmk one of those dunks I don't mind watching in slow motion over and over again lol
The amount of undeniable 50s between Lavine and Gordon is insane
Still haven't forgiven D Wade for giving Aaron Gordon a 9. 😂
It was like 3 other judges that gave him 9s everybody mad at Wade tho its funny ash
that's the part that always sends me. It was multiple judges @@yedidyayeshitla6504
D Wade was bias for the Miami guy.
@@yedidyayeshitla6504I think wade was the only one who changed his score. 10 for Derrick and 9 for Gordon
@@MeowChickenFishhere come the conspiracies
Vince Carter’s 360 windmill dunk was crazy🔥🔥
Vince extend the arm all the way out
Absolutely
Was. Didn’t stand the test of time. Went from nasty to common lol
@@espectrodelayautja6320 ?!😅Many dunkers attempted and done Carter's dunk, but still no one does it with THAT style.

Clearly like day and night.
Vince's dunks just hit different its craze, never gets older even after nearly 25 years
The power of Dominique w the grace and elegance and soaring of Jordan. Dunking perfection.
LaVine/Gordon clears any SDC in history 🔥🔥
7:30 "we need to get him a get well card" lol all time classic
gordon robbed button
Waht
Quit like begging
Zach needed that free throw line 360 he did to seal that deal just because he does everything hard effortlessly
@@RealShaquilleOneal you know Gordon should have won
@@malachibanks6357 Noooo

Very equal, they could have given it to both and we wouldn't disagree, both took everything from the past and modernized it

Thats what so different between mj and the rest, besides carter
MJ did 2 of the same dunks twice 😭
The Vince Dunks is just elite.
Jason Richardson is severely underrated.
Crazy how much dunking has evolved. Those 80s dunks wont even make it through the first round in today's dunk contest.
Wilkins's dunks were very good even for today's standards, 17:54
Gordon got robbed twice. He should be a 2x slam dunk champion 😒
Hey hes got a champ ring so... Id rather have that.
We all know who the real champ those years are. The trophy means Jack shit if we all know.
@@daymongray3516 was happy for him. Played a key role during that run
@@markcrosby1939 ikr? 2020 is what did me in 😖

they should give gordon best dunk in nba history trophy his dunk is very creative
Superman dunk top 3 of all time,Dwight was really flying
East bay from free throw line is still crazy
Vince Carter's Windmill 360 was freaking iconic as MJ's dunk was
During the 2000 NBA All-Star Weekend, Carter showcased arguably the most memorable Slam Dunk Contest event in its history.

40 years of dunking history... this vid should be longer imo 🔥
6:36 why the quality suddenly so good 😂

vince carters dunks has a different sound to them, the power he can produce while still being athletic is unrivaled
Giannis always somewhere making a face😂
J-Rich Really Had Two Of The Top 5 Dunks In Dunk Contest History IMO , Off The Glass Between The Legs And The Reverse Between The Legs Will Still Get 50’s Today
Jason Richardson was so good in these contests
Fact's
7:09 Dennis Smith Jr. perfected the Jordan logo 😂
Justice for Aaron Gordon greatest robbery in Slam Dunk History
Vince Carter 🔥
There are many cool dunks, but no one gives goosebumps like legendary scene with Vince Carter and Shaq with camera =)
Vince Carter's first dunk is the best of all time
My favorite team from the eastern conference is Atlanta Hawks. As an Atlanta Hawks fan, the players are doing cool tricks for the game. Such as: dunk, air ball, and others.
I remember watching the Fred Jones 50 dunk live with my dad. He literally said whatttt? That's not a 50 lol
Even though MJ has his signature leg pump / frog leg jumps after the launch, you gotta appreciate how Wilkins made it look like his legs walk / glide in the air with little to no leg bending and still reach his hand above the rim.
I will always and continue to say Ben Gordon's dunk still surppases all of those dunks. Even the recently concluded slam dunk competition.
Gerald Greens dunk over the car was insane
This video brings back so many memories. The dunk contest was the sh*t back then!
Whoever is putting these videos together is the real MVP
Reggie's comment on Javale's 2-net double dunk was perfect "I don't think there's anyone else on the planet that can do this."
Javale could have been a star if he had bball IQ to match his enormous physical gifts.
Dwight Howard 😅
When Wembanyama 😂
The one thing I always loved was the camera flashes in the crowd…phone cameras ruined it
Man I wanted to see Donovan Mitchell's where he recreated Vince Carter's- he changed into the Raptors jersey and everything
3:53 Gordon, one od the best ever IMO.
We were just blessed with theses that it’s not crazy to see anymore
Them VC, MJ and Wilkins dunk look real ass with the competition 😂
Homie you kidding?? VC has the greatest dunk and greatest in game dunk ever. What u mean don’t stand up to competition
i know that spud web is short and all but how is that dunk a 50 (2:05)
the ceballos blind fold dunk was super impressive
2018 donovan's dunk is just so Simple .why he get so many applause，just jumpover 3 Squat down people，I think 90% of the people who can dunk can do it too.
Jason Richardson the GOAT
Orlando done had so many elite dunkers
Dunk contest peaked from the 2000’s until 2016
Gordon is one of the best dunkers ever
how does some of this Vince carter footage look so clear like it was filmed in 2020 lol 11:33

wooohhh no way! thanks for the insight @@philojudaeusofalexandria9556
They should make an every dunk that should've been a 50
Underrated comment!
Cupcake Gerald Green
Aaron Gordon
If wilkins did those dunks today he would get scored a 40🤣
Times change. Same like if MJ would perform those dunks would be nothing special at all
did noone else catch Dwight Howard dunked on a 12 foot rim? utterly ridiculous.
DOMINIQUE WILKINS is the most powerful and impressive slam dunker of all time!
8:33
Those windmills by Richardson 😳
No one just executed it more beautiful than Jordan and Carter
Stop it. Jordan's dunks are overrated
Michael Jordan got like 4 different 50s for the same dunk
its crazy how vince carter made it look effortless
That first dunk was not a 50! Mike will forever be overhyped 😂
I love this one 3:53
Thanks, GOD bless you.
Nate Robinson was listed at 5'8. Spudd Webb at 5'6. You can see at 9:54-9:55 that Spudd is taller, lol. Nate must actually be 5'5.
I feel sorry for Gordon until now, can't forget that 2016 contest. Smh
R.I.P. Jerome Kersey 1962-2015
I am going to enjoy this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏😁
Amare have the funniest dunk ever
How many times did Jordan do that dunk?
if Jordan just showed up without even dunking, he would still win the dunk contest, Jordan.
@@madcatter1 lmaooo fr. Like his dunks were pretty alright
Vince Carter's Slam Dunk Is The Best Of All Time
btw editor you showed the same dunk twice with Michael jordan

Edit: Gerald Wilkins @19:10 was pretty garbage, too. Taking off from near the inside circle for a straight 1-hand dunk is weak in a dunk contest.
how do you know it was fake?
Missed that other players reaction on the side bench, they don't do it nowadays.
Diallo 3:13 sneaky top 5 dunk of all time
Let's be honest here. How many of y'all did not expect Aaron Gordon to do the Under-The-Legs Dunk? I thought it was impossible until I saw Aaron Gordon did it. 🤯
Granted Lavine's free throw dunks was one of the best, but to me, Aaron Gordon's Under-The-Legs Dunk is the quintessential dunk. ❤
MJ was so special tbh
What is the logic behind not showing them in order?
Aaron and lavine is too good
Love Aaron Gordon, he clearly had the most creative dunks ever, and more vigor and power. But Lavigne was more stylistic, and he was doing it at longer distances, I see why he won (and deserved to). But Gordon had me feeling like he-man yow. Greatest dunk off ever, I don't think there'll ever be another duo that could top that. They took everything from the past and modernized it
Kenny Sky Walkers baseline 360 should be there
I'm sorry as a Miami heat fan the one from Glenn Robinson III was amazin
And the greatest of them all ( dunk contest wise) - Aaron Gordon...lets him a round of applauseeee .....yeaaaa👏👏👏👏 😅
Jumps over shaq clearly when u in 6 ft range is beyond crazy

Diallo honey dip over Shaq underrated man, these dudes this year just jumped over him
Vince 2000 show no 1
4 amazing dunks
Man only one 50 points in this year but i hope they need more 50s for next year
East Bay funk dunk not a 50? Or when Brent Barry jumped from free throw?
Let’s just add 1 dunk to last years video…..
And it wasn’t even his best dunk of the night lol
McClung, the only 2 time winner that has played only 4 NBA games total 😂
Vince Carter, Aaron Gordon, Zach Lavine, Michael Jordan, Mac Mcclung all in their prime, who are you picking?
Vince, Gordon, Lavine, Jordan, Dwight, Dominique, JRichardson, McClung, Dr. J, NRobinson. In that order in their prime.
An indictment of the slam dunk contest. New judges.
still nobody beat airjordan air walk on freethrow line in1987 1988
The best dunk by each year
Dominique Wilkins really wanted to destroy those rings.
Why didn't Aaron Gordon EVER win at least 1 dunk contest, not even ONE!!!!
