Nique did get robbed. Jordan did the foul-line dunk twice in the same competition for chrissakes. It was in Chicago that year so the fix was in fo'sho.

If I recall, he actually did it three times, he missed one and was able to redo it. It was def a fix for Jordan to win, Nique does a one handed windmill for a 50, then does a two handed one the next time and got a 45...yeah, a tad questionable.

Best individual was Vince. In terms of the best finals showdown, 88 with Nique vs Jordan (many still claim Nique got robbed) is my favorite.

Most underrated dunk ever was Darvin Hamm's slap backboard with left, turn other way and dunk right. Try that shite on an 8 ft goal and see how hard it is.

VC came into that contest with all the pressure to put on a show....I'll never forget the reaction after his first dunk, what a performance!!

I'd go with VC. Actually last year I was very impressed with DeMar DeRozan and thought he got robbed worse than Dominique did by Jordan.

The NBA should hire me to ghost write dunks. Everyone thinks that it's all been done before, but I have some very creative ideas that I know some of the greatest athletes in the world could execute.

Dominique/Jordan in '88 was the best head to head matchup of all time. Dee Brown's no look/Reebok pump dunks in 1990 (or '91, can't remember) were some good ones. Kenny Walker in 1989 was good too.

Richardson was the best I've ever seen. None of this prop bullshite, no jumping over Kia's, just masterful dunking.
