1994 NBA SLAM DUNK CONTEST

[@phillipcox7533]

Love hearing the music from at that time being played during the contest. The nostalgia

[@DonaldMeyers-v8c]

That's literally my favorite part....lol.....such a great time

[@AndrewSmith-eu7rd]

Actually Orlando woolridge was the first to go through his legs in the 84 dunk contest but nowhere near as good as this one.

[@jonathanakerele8006]

You're right! J.R. had so much more energy, flare, power, and passion when he threw it down plus the audience and the commentators were so much more hyped and enthusiastic during this 1994 contest whereas in 1984 the audience would clap after the made dunks but beyond that you didn't hear any music playing in the arena and it was quiet as a library outside of the P.A. announcer mentioning the scores after each dunk. Still nice to see these players set the trends with their original version of the dunk and then see newer versions come along years later because each newer version has slight differences in how it's executed (example: Julius Erving with is foul line slams in 1976 and 1984 and then followed up by Michael Jordan with his versions in 1987 and 1988). =)

[@meaux-kneaux]

Woolridge was sooo much harder

[@JoelGrubbs]

Isaiah perfected tho

[@Zo_1987]

Robert Pack was so Explosive

[@TomDelayBeats]

This was so dope that it was done to those rap instrumentals and you could hear them during the routine.

[@whobitmyname]

Shawn Kemp is by far the best runner-up in contest history. I mean overall career of course. The greatest single-year runner-up is still AG.

[@egpytiankobe]

I miss the old Snoop Dogg and the G Funk Era!

[@jahbird9411]

I remember this Dunk From Isiah Rider !!! It was really amazing cause no one did it before Him...

[@PranayPokhriyal567]

rider second jump was insane in first round..

[@KaleoKognito]

I was there u can see me in the crowd behind him at 22:01 ‼️❇️⚠️ orange coat my buddy and me next to him blue Timberwolves coat

[@jonathanakerele8006]

Man, Shawn Kemp had no energy left for this final round! Kind of sad since he came out with so much style in that first round of dunks. He really could have come out with some flashy stuff if he'd had more energy or mental focus I suppose!

[@johnrambo3239]

Kemp was the king of swagger! It was uncharacteristic of him to miss those dunks, who knows what was going on.

[@rajuraheem1672]

@ John Rambo He left Reign Man in the locker room unfortunately for him.

[@Salmoney23]

Packman he had mad ups

[@kingjeanty1989]

12:54 Domino - Ghetto Jam YOUR WELCOME

[@jonathanakerele8006]

Kind of funny Rider and Bryant both did this dunk from different angles but got the exact same score: 49.0. =)

[@senget13]

Finally! Someone else noticed!!!

[@Equalshares]

Still deserves a 50 to this day. Amazing dunk

[@bball3048mm]

To day this almost 30 years later, the dunk still looks cool to me.

[@jamesdecade]

Imagine telling the crowd what’s to come in the future.

[@JoelGrubbs]

Isaiah Rider is so underrated, best dunk ever in my opinion

[@ChickityChicken]

Up there

[@vinf.9233]

Allan Houston form Slamdunk Contest to become a Three point Shooter

[@redveinborneo4673]

I don't remember a timed dunk contest. I kinda like the classic setup better.

[@blinksstayfresh2524]

Harold Miner 1993 and Rider 1994 are still my fav slam dunk winners.

[@nystagmus]

Harold miner was my favorite dunker

[@jesserucker9174]

dumbest format ever. they get tired and feels rushed.

[@derrickvineyard7032]

Poor guy wore the red shoes before Pippen, but nobody knows.

[@Boss3Nate]

Would've been epic if Minor didn't have to pull out of the contest

[@Tony_C_Tone]

What's the name of the song at 12:52? I've been wanting that song for the longest. I would really appreciate it

[@derrickvineyard7032]

Antonio Carter Domino -Ghetto Jam

[@HaightTheGreat]

Robert Pack used to cram on people when he was a Blazer.

[@lesleyknowles7224]

cool man

[@kevinmccloy4150]

What's the song playing when Allan Houston is dunking? Tried to figure it out since '94 😂

[@drumarsdeodorant5375]

Beatbox by the art of noise

[@ponypower8]

One thing fans overlooked is the fact that doing 3 consecutive exhibition dunks can be tiring.

[@jonstefanik9400]

I can't believe the crowd gasps instead of cheered when Kemp missed the dunk.

[@luzcruz9476]

I destroy everyone in 2k with Robert Pack off the bench Dude is a straight cheat code dunking the ball

[@alexbrathwaite7677]

I don't know what the name of the song is playing while Antonio Davis is Slam dunking

[@kenjilibert2675]

Higher Baby - Fresh Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff

[@alexbrathwaite7677]

What is the name of this song in 10:52 When Antonio Davis Dunking

[@kenjilibert2675]

Higher fresh prince

[@rafaelsebastianpalacio991]

JR only got 49 coz none has done it before him.

[@cplineberger]

Orlando Wooldridge 1984. Between the legs at least.

[@legendarytonyclutch]

Despite the dumb format that was the worst I've seen from shawn kemp

[@initialreactions411]

Making Allan Houston dunk lol

[@MagMaticFlava]

i want to know too!!!!

[@meaux-kneaux]

Pack did a reverse 360

[@robranko5931]

Robert is d greatest dunker 4 his height

[@airkuna]

Allan Houston was so lame😆😅😅

[@lovenlightman]

Man Shawn Kemp -Should have let him win for once..One of the best Dunkers ever

[@kevinjohnstone9852]

Shawn Kemp problem was that he could not palm the ball plus kemp was powerful dunker in game over someone for sure lovenlightman

[@lovenlightman]

Yep. He was more Powerful then most of the players. He and GP- that was great watching them.

[@Deeboy1214]

Is cause Kemp always did the same dunks

[@egpytiankobe]

Allan Houston?! Lol

[@zoesh2441]

That was a very dumb dunk contest format

[@jonathanakerele8006]

I would agree. What works for figure skating does not work for basketball. They are different sports and watching each dunk performed one after the other is not the same as watching a figure skater twirl around on the ice for a full two minutes. To me, you have to enjoy each individual dunk attempt on its own merits and cramming all the attempts together under a time limit takes away a bit of excitement from being able to analyze each individual dunk plus it shortens the contest from an hour to thirty minutes. Speeding up the contest like that makes it feel rushed and takes away some of the anticipations of learning what each player has to offer.

[@TheAlmightyExlennium]

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[@bigdogbrunet8881]

Shawn Kemp

[@ExoticFaceYT]

Nice game

[@user-fo7yb4jv5f]

ToNy BRaXton

[@jagtteodoro9226]

Maybe Rider is to high of medicine.!

[@SeanD44]

Doug Collins should've shut the hell up. Took all the excitement (at that time) out of Rider's dunk

[@jbug1979]

I think if Ryder's dunk didn't get over-scored (a 49.0?? come on!), then Robert wouldn't have felt such pressure to get a perfect score on his last dunk. And he would've won.. Ryder got lucky stealing the win from Pack. He should've received extra points for difficulty due to his height.. just like they did for Spud! Charles even mentioned the height issue. The dunks that Pack completed were really amazing for a guy his height. I also think that Ryder had a lot of hype going into the contest which the judges bought into. IN MY EYES YOU WON, BOBBY P!! THE PAC MAN!!!!

[@michaelgaddis3969]

Dumbest rules eva!!😡

[@ShaKKDiseL]

Whoever gave Isaiah Rider a 9 for his between-the-legs dunk that had never been done at that time, was HATING.

[@lakerboy16]

These formats were terrible

[@carlburton3152]

Horrible ,dunk contest.
