    Word. They aired the '88 dunk contest on ESPN classic this afternoon with Jordan, Wilkins and Drexler.

    The best EVER!

    I would have said the same thing but his dunk contest dunks were a total yawner, he didn't even make the finals in the 87 and 88 ones I watched today.

    I would have to go with Stevie on this one. Like someone mentioned before, Clydes contest dunks weren't that great.

    Clyde was an awful dunker in the contest; he barely got off the floor and started his leaps from about two feet away from the basket.

    I agree. His in game dunks were totally awesome.....but he just couldn't put it together in the contest. I thought he especially came off bad when he tried the Jordan FT line dunk. There was no way he had a chance to top MJ's dunk, in MJ's own town.

    Anyway, I would go with Stevie hands down. He was just exciting to watch because he was such a great leaper for a lil guy.

    Spoon actually could get up pretty high as a young kid with the 76ers.

    I remembered him doing a 360 windmill in the dunk contest... with authority!! :D

    May not be a popular opinion, but ol' Kenny Smith had a great dunk contest w/ the Kings, and gets my vote. His back-to-the-basket, between the legs, bounce-off-the-board dunk was awesome, especially considering his height. He had some serious ups, back in the day.

    That's what I voted for, it was by FAR the most creative dunk from any one that competition, and the most creative from anyone on that list.
