Larry Nance -
Nance was already known as one of the league's elite dunkers on the eve of the inaugural NBA dunk contest in 1984. But not until the Phoenix forward defeated the old guard -- dunk revolutionary Julius Erving -- would his legacy be secured. Nance rose to the challenge before the McNichols Arena crowd in Denver, throwing down a reverse jam, a wrap-around and a two-fisted reverse using a pair of basketballs to win the event.
