I'd cup it with my left hand between my hand and forearm and put it above the rim and come over the top with my right hand and punch it into the basket.

Chicago's <a href="/wiki/Michael_Jordan" title="Michael Jordan">Michael Jordan</a> won back-to-back dunk contest victories in 1987 and in 1988.<a href="#cite_note-:2-11">[11]</a> His victory over Wilkins in 1988 in Chicago finished with a perfect 50 dunk from the free-throw line for his third dunk to win the contest. However, the announcers did note that Wilkins was given abnormally low score for his breathtaking third dunk, a 45, allowing Jordan to win it by 2 with his perfect 50. To this day, the allegations of "home cooking" still float around surrounding the event (it was held on Jordan's home court; one of the judges was former <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Bears" title="Chicago Bears">Chicago Bears</a> star <a href="/wiki/Gale_Sayers" title="Gale Sayers">Gale Sayers</a>; and another judge, former NBA star <a href="/wiki/Tom_Hawkins_(basketball)" title="Tom Hawkins (basketball)">Tom Hawkins</a>, is a Chicago native) and until the competition in 2020, was considered arguably the most controversial of the slam dunk competitions. Extensive debate continues whether Wilkins 3rd dunk should have scored higher than a 45 and whether Jordan's second dunk, which scored a 47, was a superior creative effort to Wilkins third dunk. The following year in Houston would have been the first time where all the previous dunk champs would've faced off against each other; but Jordan, Wilkins, and Nance, who were going to play in the All-Star Game that Sunday, decided to skip the contest due to minor injuries.

He first won it in 1985 over <a href="/wiki/Michael_Jordan" title="Michael Jordan">Michael Jordan</a>. Smith scored high points for originality with his signature dunk—he started by turning his back to the basket, bouncing the ball backward between his legs and off the backboard, then turning and grabbing it in the air and reverse dunking it. As the 1990s progressed, stars such as Jordan, Wilkins and Drexler sometimes declined to participate and were replaced by less-known players. <a href="/wiki/Harold_Miner" title="Harold Miner">Harold Miner</a> was a standout in 1993, winning the contest with a reverse power dunk, reaching between his legs and down to his feet in mid-air before sending the ball down.

The <a href="/wiki/Phoenix_Suns" title="Phoenix Suns">Phoenix Suns</a>' <a href="/wiki/Amar%27e_Stoudemire" title="Amar'e Stoudemire">Amar'e Stoudemire</a> alley-ooping 360 off a soccer-style header from teammate <a href="/wiki/Steve_Nash" title="Steve Nash">Steve Nash</a>; <a href="/wiki/J._R._Smith" title="J. R. Smith">J. R. Smith</a> putting it around his back and dunking, and the new champion, <a href="/wiki/Josh_Smith" title="Josh Smith">Josh Smith</a> alley-ooping over Kenyon Martin all wowed the crowd with their maneuvers. With the change in the rules requiring an additional teammate starting in the second round, they proved there were indeed many ways to dunk a basketball that had not been done before. Amar'e Stoudemire received rave reviews, as did Smith when he did a tribute dunk to <a href="/wiki/Dominique_Wilkins" title="Dominique Wilkins">Dominique Wilkins</a> while donning Wilkins' jersey. Again in 2006, the Dunk Contest in <a href="/wiki/Houston" title="Houston">Houston</a> revitalized the interests of audiences as 5'9" <a href="/wiki/Nate_Robinson" title="Nate Robinson">Nate Robinson</a> of the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Knicks" title="New York Knicks">New York Knicks</a> took the title with a great dunk-off. One of his most exciting dunks was a high-flying dunk over former Slam Dunk Contest winner, 5'7" <a href="/wiki/Spud_Webb" title="Spud Webb">Spud Webb</a>. The 2006 Slam Dunk Contest was also the first Dunk Contest in history to have a "Dunk Off", the equivalent to a Dunk Contest overtime, between Knicks point guard Nate Robinson and shooting guard <a href="/wiki/Andre_Iguodala" title="Andre Iguodala">Andre Iguodala</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_76ers" title="Philadelphia 76ers">Philadelphia 76ers</a>. Many fans argue that Iguodala should have won the contest, as it took Robinson fourteen attempts before finally completing his dunk. Iguodala pulled off a dunk where he started out of bounds from the right side of the baseline while teammate <a href="/wiki/Allen_Iverson" title="Allen Iverson">Allen Iverson</a> bounced the ball off the back of the right side of the backboard. Iguodala caught the ball in mid-air behind the backboard, spun around to the other side while ducking his head (to avoid colliding with the backboard) and dunked it with his right hand. On February 17, 2007, the contest was held in <a href="/wiki/Las_Vegas" title="Las Vegas">Las Vegas</a>.

He also scored a perfect fifty with his last slam, a windmill over a table. Other noteworthy dunks include a dunk by Orlando Magic center <a href="/wiki/Dwight_Howard" title="Dwight Howard">Dwight Howard</a>, who, while making his dunk, stuck a sticker with his smiling face on the backboard a reported 12'6" from the ground, two and a half feet beyond the regulation NBA rim.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> On February 16, 2008, the contest was held in <a href="/wiki/New_Orleans" title="New Orleans">New Orleans</a>.

Though Team East are the official winners, Wall was voted by fans as the Dunker of the Night. To the delight of NBA fans, the 2015 contest was changed back to its original format, as the Freestyle Round as well as the teams were taken out. The 4 dunkers competing were all up-and-coming players: The Bucks' <a href="/wiki/Giannis_Antetokounmpo" title="Giannis Antetokounmpo">Giannis Antetokounmpo</a>, the Timberwolves' <a href="/wiki/Zach_LaVine" title="Zach LaVine">Zach LaVine</a>, the Magic's <a href="/wiki/Victor_Oladipo" title="Victor Oladipo">Victor Oladipo</a>, and the Nets' <a href="/wiki/Mason_Plumlee" title="Mason Plumlee">Mason Plumlee</a>.

However, he withdrew his statement once the All-Star Weekend came around.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Competition between Nate Robinson and <a href="/wiki/Andre_Iguodala" title="Andre Iguodala">Andre Iguodala</a> drew much criticism because players were not penalized for missing a dunk attempt. Consequently, Robinson attempted a single dunk 14 times before completing it.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Prior to the 2007 competition, the NBA changed a few rules to prevent excessive dunk attempts. Each participant has two minutes to complete their dunk (with a maximum of 3 attempts).
