Trying to heal my eyes after this year's dunk Contest 😌

I loved Vince's performance, but Zach Lavine & Aaron Gordon had one of the best dunk contests in the history of dunk contests!

Vince, Zach and Aaron got to be the GOATs in the dunk contest. I still feel Aaron was robbed. He had originality, style and difficulty.

Zach Lavine is just so effortless and graceful in his execution...just beautiful

All of Spud Webb’s dunks became 1000x more impressive when I discovered he was only 5’7”

Aaron Gordon's dunk is the greatest dunk of all time, but man, Vince Carter's and MJ's dunks with the crowd pop, makes it all the more memorable to me.

Not enough people in these comments are talking about that McGee dunk @7:50. That was utterly insane!

Gotta give respect to Spud Webb!!!! One of the shortest guys ever dunking with the big boys!! Hella respect!!

Amazing to see how the value of 50 has changed over the years.

Aaron Gordon does a 360, backflip windmill behind the back, between the legs dunk. Judges: that’s a solid 47

Man Jason Richardson’s dunks were insane, such power 💪🏻

Zach LaVine and Vince Carter are my all-time favorite dunkers. Such athletes!

Gordon’s dunk over the mascot, J-Rich’s between the legs from behind the backboard and Iguodala’s dunk behind the board are the best by far. Not only are they espectacular and difficult, they are dangerous.

Everyone talking about Vince, Zach, and Aaron.. I wanna take a second to appreciate that off-the-backboard Nash header to Amare from 05, man that was a top 5 dunk for me personally.

80's commentary: Beautiful dunk Modern commentary: LET'S GO HOME! LET'S GO HOME!

80's and 90's, someone does a regular dunk just with emphasis: OMG that's a 50. Nowadays someone does a triple salchow while making a hot dog in mid air and then completes a 360 windmill dunk: Man, I wish the dunk contest was like the old days.

As an old guy, I have seen nearly all of these dunk contests in the years that they were done. I have to say the 1988 Jordan vs Domonique was the most entertaining as it went back and forth and you really didn't know who was going to win. The Vince Carter dunks were the most exciting as the dunk contest was getting boring/routine in the previous years and he re-vitalized it with original dunks. As for the "best" and coolest dunks, I actually think they were done by Aaron Gordon, still cant believe he never won!?!

Zack Levine did a windmill & through the legs dunk from the free throw line! 🔥 No one did that 💯 NBA Dunk Contest 🐐 hands down! 💯

I watched that sideways dunk MJ did live in 1987 and to this day it still amazes me. I swear live it seemed like he was floating. Just amazing!

Zach Lavine and Aaron Gordon should've been the first co-champions of the slam dunk contest.

Absolutely amazing compilation ❤ I was waiting decades for this - all best dunks in HQ. Thank you!!

Can we take a moment to see how different Spud Webb was he was a 5'7 man doing this crazy stuff definitely has the highest vert than anyone his size and just anyone

Came into this stuff with Isiah Rider in '94 with 12 years old. Still loving this, always loved the atmosphere with the contest and the sound of the successful dunks. Appreciate this video very much, my small young version is smiling, thank you!

Are we all pretty much in a unanimous agreement that Aaron Gordon definitely should not had lost that one?

To see those smaller guys fly is unbelievable.

Blesdsoe dunk was sick!! Really surprised me!! Awesome compilation I loved some of the 2000 dunk contest footage they enhanced to HD on some dunks. All judges should be required to watch this before the Dunk Contest, so they know what a 50 looks like. I like how pure most of the dunks were, with no props or extra people. They could improvise in the air. It was about power, grace, difficulty, and style

Some truly breathtaking dunks and athleticism but but but!..... Spud Webb has absolutely no right as a human to do what he did. 5'7 tall and to this very day it just blows my mind!

Aaron Gordon the real dunk champion🔥🔥🔥🔥

Crazy to see how the game and the dunks have evolved.

Jason Richardson's reverse through the leg backwards with one hand was sickening.

Essas dunks são históricas na NBA 🥇🎖🏅🏆🏀😁😆.

Gotta love how they had the mascots chilling among the audience during the All Star Games of the 2010’s.

The 1988 and 2016 contests are for me personally the two best in history. The 2000 contest comes in third, was also a good one.

Carter is still king. No matter what. He'll sit on that dam rim if you asked him

The 360 from top of the key from the player from Denver Nuggets is truly 1 of the most AMAZING DUNKS EVER in Dunk Contest.

Zach Lavine is incredible, I have to put him at #1 of all time as a dunker

after watching this, I realized that the dunks back then were not that much better than the dunks today. It's just that we never saw dunks like that back then so the creativity part of it made it spectacular. Also, not considering the era, Aaron Gordon and VC are 1a 1b of all time.

That Dennis Smith Jr. between the legs dunk is underrated af, that was a high degree of difficulty

Those announcers are epic, "he has the flu, that was sick, send him a get well card". 😂😂😂

Zach Lavine is the GOAT of NBA slam dunk. End of the story😎👍🏻

When Vince sinks his forearm in the basket is probably one of the only times you just see the NBA stars stunned. Classic.

2016 Zach Lavine... I've never seen that before, but that was friggin impressive!

Zach Lavine is a show-stopper. Dude is smooth with them crazy hops.

To see spud Webb at 5’7 is insane. He has to have a 57 inch vert

2:44 one of the best 360 dunks I've ever seen.

4:50 para mí el mejor gracias Vince Carter

Zach Lavine in 2015-16 had the greatest appearances in dunk contest history

Jason Richardson was so compact and technically gifted his problem was he came after Vince.

That Gordon dunk with the maskscot spinning is the greatest dunk of all time thats crazy to me how he timed that beautiful

Man! AG! His dunk over the mascot while sitting in the air will be forever legendary. It is so sick! Damn!

All those dunks was legendary but the power of Dominique Wilkens oh my God

6:20 This shows that Steve Nash is the best PG. Man doesn't need hands to assist. He just used his head to think and also, make the assist.

Spud Webb will always be one of my favorites.

Bro, Spud Webb was such a spectacle. Just making a normal dunk would have been a 50, but my man here was doing 360's and stuff. Absolute LEGEND.

Man, Zach combines grace and power like almost nobody on this list.

This may sound crazy but other than VC, my favorite dunk is Jordan, '87 I believe from the side, not the most technical but by far one of, if not, the smoothest and most graceful dunker ever.

They're all great but the style MJ has its what makes him incredible he is just natural

MJ's Takeoff and air time was so amazing to witness.

Can we take a minute and appreciate Jason Richardson? Man was doing things effortlessly!! He’s in my Top 5 dunkers ever!

Some of these dunks were legit jaw dropping...others I was doing in highschool.

I find all the 80s dunks so silly compared to the recent ones from last 20 yrs. I get the novelty aspect from the 80s, but more recent dunks are far far superior

The old commentators were just unfazed by this greatness 😂

The announcers when Jordan does the same dunk over and over again: “Oh my God, the hang time, that a why he’s the best in the world!” The announcers when Dominique does a brand new dunk that’s twice as impressive: “That dunk was quite lovely. Next”

Jordan really loves that free throw line dunk

0:48 still the best dunk to date for me

All the NBA players performed well. For me, the 5 best are Michael Jordan, Vince Carter, Zach Lavine, Aaron Gordon and SpudWebb with a great vertical jump.

J Rich, Vince, Aaron Gordon, Zach. The only ones that ever deserved 50s

This video was just 17 minutes of consistent greatness and I absolutely goddamn LOVED IT!

Wow! I had never seen that Aaron Gordon dunk, best dunk I’ve ever seen!

Every time I see Aaron Gordon's dunk highlights, I become more convinced that he was robbed.

It almost feels like every dunk has been done now. We need more creativity like the Nash head oop

Jason Richardson dunk was absolutely amazing durring it's time.

Aaron Gordon: At the cashier paying for grocery, trying to get a quick $50 back. Cashier: Here's your $47, sir.

Zach only needed 4 casual steps and a 2 foot gather, to do free throw line windmill... 🤯

Gordon deserves 5 trophy’s for the amount of times this man’s been robbed. But Vince Carter’s contest was the best I’ve ever seen by an individual

dominique IMO is the best dunker of all time. His technique and in air movements were crisp and flawless

5:37 my first time seeing this dunk thinking “that was freaky “, then the announcer agrees 😂

Aaron Gordon does a 50 point dunk. Judges: 47

That JRich reverse between the legs one of most underrated of all time

8:56 Those reactions are priceless.
