Michael Jordan

1988, Chicago

In perhaps the NBA's best dunk contest, hometown favorite Jordan edged Dominique Wilkins 147-145 in the finals to become the first repeat winner. Needing a 48 on his final attempt to overtake Wilkins, Jordan scored a 50 after taking off just inside the free-throw line for a dunk. "If it wasn't in Chicago, it might have gone the other way," Jordan said afterward.
