Ah, the memories. Have to say, it has to be the greatest entertainment I watched in a long time.


Did Dominique get screwed?

It was in Chicago...and as a MJ fan, NOPE. Nique kinda did the same dunks repeatedly.

Edited to add...Now Aaron Gordon got robbed a few years ago. And a few years ago before that.

No, you should get deducted points if you do variations of the same dunk.

Used to have it recorded on VHS. I can still hear Rick Barry's response to the 45 "Can we call this a make good, I mean, thats a two handed windmill from the side....with authority!!" I might have watched it a time or 100.

It's funny when you watch Jordan's free throw line dunk then watch Zach LaVine windmill from the free throw line. It's eye opening how far the game has progressed.


There are guys at every highschool that could pull off the dunks in the 88 contest.

Popped up on mine the other day and I watched it as well. I remember taping this on VHS growing up. I had no idea how Jordan was going to pull that out. Even though I knew he won.
