Chapter 424: The Best Slam Dunk Move

The NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is a very eye-catching mid-season game, in the decades-long history of the NBA, every slam dunk contest has made the fans enthusiastic, of course, there have been many classic and memorable perfect dunks, maybe when you think back to those past, it can also make your heart ripple and excited.

Carter's halter arm dunk

Speaking of Carter's dunks, I believe no one will doubt that if Jordan was born for basketball, then Carter was born for dunks, his dunks are not only a combination of violence and physical flexibility, but also full of ornamentation. In the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest Carter not only staged a number of action dunks, including crotch changes, 360 spins and other classic actions, but also staged an explosive dunk with his arm to abuse the frame, undoubtedly becoming the best dunk king in NBA history, and Carter even staged the most famous "death dunk" at the Sydney Olympics, which has thrilled fans to this day.

Jordan dunks at the free throw line

At the 1987 All-Star Game, Jordan not only conquered the judges with a stunning free-throw line dunk, but also let fans around the world know that the Flyers can really ignore distance. Then in the 1988 All-Star Game, Jordan used the free throw line dunk again, this time he showed great physical condition in the air, he dribbled from the backcourt, then bent his legs, stuck out his tongue, and then dunked vigorously to defeat Wilkins, the "best of humanity", to successfully defend the title. It is no exaggeration to say that Jordan's ability to stay in the air was vividly demonstrated in these 2 dunk contests, perfectly showing fans that dunks can be so chic.

Kobe Bryant changes hands under his crotch for a dunk

In 1997, Kobe Bryant, who was a fledgling player, won the championship of the dunk contest with a very beautiful crotch dunk that changed hands, won the championship of the dunk contest, and became the youngest dunk king in NBA history. Although Kobe's dunk was a little hot in strength, and the aesthetics of non-violence were not violent, his dunk in one go showed fans excellent physical flexibility, and authoritative American magazines even thought that Kobe's slam dunk was not only elegant, but also completely in line with the taste of American elegant people.

Howard Superman dunks

Under normal circumstances, few interior players participate in the slam dunk contest, let alone win the championship directly, but Howard is not convinced, and he won the slam dunk contest that year in 2008 with a powerful and violent dunk in Superman outfit, and became the highest dunk king in NBA history. Of course, Howard's slam dunk is full of creativity, and it does show fans the aesthetic violence of muscle power, coupled with his hip-hop and laughing style of game offense, the peak of the monster made the judges and even the fans cheer for him, I have to say that this dunk also seems to have opened another creative competition in the dunk contest.

Griffin leaps over the car for a dunk

When it comes to Griffin's dunk, it is estimated that there is one word, that is, violence, in 2011, Griffin used a dunk to show everyone that interior players can also rise in the air, and the creativity of the flying car not only made him win the championship of this slam dunk contest, but also became the spokesperson of the most violent aesthetics at that time in the minds of fans. Since then, Griffin has repeatedly dunked many interior players in actual games, including his sister-in-law, Lopez and ......

Nate. Robinson leaps over Superman for a dunk

As the shortest dunk king in NBA history (Little Potato is actually 1.68 meters tall, the emphasis here is on Sibert Webb's height of 1.69 meters), his vertical bounce reached 1.10 meters, and he won the slam dunk contest championship in 2006, 2009, and 2010, so he became the NBA history of 3 dunk dunks, and the most dunk contest champions. Especially in the 2009 finals, he won the championship with a dunk that leaped over Howard's superman, which stunned the fans, because Howard is 2.11 meters, and the visual experience it brings to the fans is simply indescribable.

McGee "three-ball" dunk

McGee is a big man with very good bounce, and his physical talent is unquestionable. At the 2011 Slam Dunk Contest, McGee not only staged a feat of scoring two hoops with two balls. In the next dunk, he directly staged 3 consecutive dunks, a good show, this action is estimated to have surprised fans so far. Even many fans think that the dunk king of the year is McGee, he is full of creativity, and it is also very challenging in terms of power and ornamentation, it can be said that McGee's 2 dunks are perfect.

Aron. Gordon "Buckle"

There seemed to be no loser in the 2017 slam dunk contest, and Gordon was still defeated, as he slammed the game with his legs outstretched, almost in the air, and then switched hands from below to dunk the ball. The dunk simply drove the fans and the judges crazy, and if it weren't for LaVine's brilliance, Gordon would have had no problem winning the championship. But despite not winning the championship, this dunk that fans called a sit dunk is still considered the best dunk of the year.

LaVine crotch dunk from the free-throw line

It is reasonable for LaVine to be called the best dunk man after Carter by fans, and his dunks are not only violent like Carter, but also unusually stretched and beautiful. At the 2017 Slam Dunk Contest, LaVine faced a strong challenge from Gordon, and he completely proved his dunk status again with a dunk under the crotch of the free throw line in the final dunk and was crowned champion. This dunk is very difficult, and LaVine can still maintain the integrity of his posture, which is really amazing, and it has to be said to be a historical classic.

Larry. Nance hit a rebound dunk

This is undoubtedly the best dunk in this year's slam dunk contest, in the 2018 slam dunk contest Nance Jr. not only paid tribute to many classic moves of his old father, but also conquered all the judges on the scene with a rebound dunk in the final game, he first threw the ball to the rebound, then jumped high to catch the rebound ball, and finally completed the double killer dunk. The dunk was a complete challenge to his ability to stay in the air, but Nance Jr. did it well enough to amaze the fans!

In fact, every slam dunk contest is very exciting, and there will be a lot of classic actions, including the well-known Wilkins, who is the champion of the slam dunk contest in 85 and 90, and Webb became the well-deserved dunk king of that era with a height of 1.69 meters, and the vertical bounce he maintained 1.20 meters has not been broken so far, Brent Barry in 1996 paid tribute to Jordan's free throw line, becoming the first white dunk champion in the history of the dunk king, and the only white dunk king so far. Of course, there are many, many other classics... I won't repeat them all here...
