So we are coming up on 17 years since my man 'Nique "the Human Highlight Film" was robbed by Michael J Jordan in what was a rigged final round in home sweet home Chicago.

Not gonna do a poll, but what do you think?

The best windmill dunker ever vs. taking off with your foot halfway over the free throw line?

    I don't know how you can say Wilkins was robbed. Jordan was the best that year. That slam was one of the reasons why the dunk contest became bigger than the all star game itself for the next 8-10 years.

    I still think Shawn Kemp was the best in-game dunker.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Kemp was a beast. It was 27 years ago OP. Damn I'm getting old. Back to topic, Jordan's was better IMO.

    you guys are nuts.... even the other players and Jordan himself admitted it to Dominique afterwards.

    EDIT: Kemp was a beast. I remember him posterizing Lister in a game.

    The only time I would go watch the Hawks play was when the Bulls were coming to Atlanta.

    I would go and watch them when my Knicks came to town.... but I always love Dominique's game.
    Saw some epic battles between him and Ewing.

    So what that his foot was in the line? This isn't bowling. It doesn't disqualify him.

    Wilkins was good, but he's no jordan.

    it just wasn't impressive as Dominique's dunk....
    oh wow. you can jump really far... so can any Olympic long jumper and they stay behind the line.

    I mean Jordan had Nike's marketing muscle behind him... he can fly and all that..etc.
    Trust me, man. I know how talented Jordan is... I am a Knicks fan... so I am painfully aware... but Nique is still the better dunker.

    That one dunk of Jordan was better than anything Dominique did. It's a good thing the slam dunk contest isn't an Olympic event. Didn't Jordans dunk earn a perfect score? Did Wilkins get a 50? I honestly don't remember.

    yeah, Jordan got a 50....
    I think Dominique scores were like 50, 50, then 45? huh. the judges didn't have the balls to give Nique the trophy in front of that Chicago crowd. Here is the whole thing. Remember watching this live.
