The NBA Slam Dunk Contest has been held for so many years, and there are many creative dunks that are remembered by most of the audience... That's the beauty of the slam dunk contest!

For example, in the 1985 Wilkins Super Windmill, Wilkins is the one who can interpret the aesthetics of violence to the extreme, especially his performance in the 1985 Slam Dunk Contest is even more impressive, in the final, he staged a frontal two-handed loop windmill, shocked the audience, and defeated Dr. J, Larry Nance, Jordan and others to win the championship in one fell swoop.

In 1986, the potato overcame gravity to dunk, no one expected that the height of only 1.70 meters "potato" Webb could become the champion of the slam dunk contest, he staged an amazing back-to-back two-handed dunk in the finals, gravity seemed to have no effect on him at all, this dunk shocked everyone present, scored 50 points, defeated the favorite Wilkins in one fell swoop, and became the shortest dunk champion in NBA history.

In 2011, Griffin flew over the car, facing the challenge of his fierce rival McGee, Griffin used the largest prop in the history of the slam dunk contest - a car in the final, and let his teammate Byron Davis be his deputy, Davis threw the ball from the sunroof, Griffin ran and flew over the whole car to dunk the ball, completing a shocking dunk.

In 2009, Nate leaped over Howard, and in 2009, Nate Robinson challenged Howard, he changed into a green "Kryptonian" suit, which means to destroy Howard, but Howard was also very cooperative, and he became Robinson's prop in the final, Robinson jumped 2.11 meters Howard with a height of 1.75 meters, dunked the green basketball into the basket, completed the legendary "Krypton dunk", and won the championship in one fell swoop.

In 2008, Howard Superman was born... Howard is one of the most creative players in the league, he had a whim in 2008, he put on a superman cloak in the preliminaries, and jumped on the free throw line after receiving the pass after his teammate Nelson's rebound, because the distance was too far, even the tall Howard could only throw the ball into the basket stiffly, considering Superman's creativity, Howard got a perfect score of 50 points as he wished.

In the 1996 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in San Antonio, Barry wore a training uniform and successfully replicated Jordan's jump dunk from the free throw line, becoming the only white slam dunk contest champion in NBA history.

The current crotch change dunk is just a small meaning for many players, even in the 90s, Isaiah Ryder had realized this idea before, but Kobe Bryant was the first player to complete this dunk so perfectly, and he jumped up and down easily to change hands under the crotch to dunk the ball in one go, so to speak, Kobe Bryant won many fans with this classic dunk.

Like 1988, 2000 was the most classic in the history of the slam dunk contest. And the most impressive thing in this game is Carter's crotch change dunk with his cousin Maddy, when Maddy smashed the ball to the floor in the penalty area, Carter received the ball after running and changed hands under the crotch, and dunked the ball in after staying in the air for a long time, and the whole court was boiling!

At the same time, in that year, Carter made the perfect footnote for the "arm dunk". He ran to the basket from the right side of the half, and after a very stretched tomahawk slam, he stuck his entire right forearm into the basket for a timeless classic. "Hanging arm dunk" requires a lot of player strength, bounce, and coordination, and is different from "folding" and "tomahawk" dunks, which require the full stretch of the entire arm and the immediate attachment of the arm, so it requires the flexibility of the player's arm.

In the 1987 slam dunk contest, due to Wilkins' absence, Jordan's real opponent was actually only Drexler. Jordan made a splash in the semifinals, jumping from the left side of the court, flying towards the basket with the ball in both hands, and from a certain angle it seemed that his whole body was going to be parallel to the basket, and his head was in close contact with the basket, and this very classic "kiss the basket dunk" scored 50 points without dispute.

The 1988 Slam Dunk Contest was the most prestigious in NBA history, as it featured three slam dunk contest winners – Jordan, Wilkins and Webb "Potato" . Jordan used the same free-throw line dunk he used in the 1987 Slam Dunk Contest in the semifinals, and the 1988 free-throw line dunk was even more exciting and classic than the 1987 version, which helped Jordan score a perfect 50 points.

Also at the 2011 Slam Dunk Contest, Javier McGee had a big brainstorm. In the first round, he dunked the ball into two baskets with both hands, and in the second round, he "killed three birds with one stone", and after the two balls entered the basket, he dunked the third ball from his teammates, which was infinitely creative. What's even more interesting is that in May of that year, McGee received the Guinness World Certification as "the player with the most goals scored in a dunk". The certificate reads: "The most dunks in a single jump — three — was completed by Javier McGee at the 2011 NBA Slam Dunk Contest at Staples Arena in Los Angeles on February 19, 2011. ”

And among all the creative dunks, paying tribute to the classics has always been a theme of the dunk contest... In 2005, Josh Smith of the Hawks wore the jersey of Wilkins, the team's famous "human movie essence"; In 2006, "Little Potato" Nate Robinson leaped over "Potato" Webb and reproduced the legend of the little man's dunk; In 2007, Gerald Green also chose to pay tribute to the team's predecessor Dee Brown.

This time Nance Jr. did not get out of this circle, at the beginning of the game, his first dunk was to imitate his father's first bite when he won the championship, a dunk action full of feelings, "the moon in the air"!

When Larry Nance Jr. announced his participation, everyone expected that his dad, former slam dunk contest champion Larry Nance Sr., would be an assistant in this competition.

So that's not surprising!

If this is a inheritance-style touch, then it's okay, after all, it is the time and space connection between the son and the father, which makes people feel like a wonderful feeling of time flashback. However, when this competition is full of the exhaustion of their creativity in the name of paying tribute, and just blindly copying the classics of their ancestors, then, what is the meaning of this competition?

This is the case with Mitchell in the second button, when his first buckle comes out, it is somewhat amazing, and there is also creativity. But he put on the No. 35 retro jersey of the Jazz's own predecessor Griffiths, which is probably fighting with Larry Nand!
