NBA Slam Dunk Contest 1985

[@davidca96]

I had that warm up outfit (Jordans) and the shoes back then I was 7, wore them so much they fell apart.

[@Model_118]

Jordan palmed the ball like it was a dodgeball. It looks wild.

[@tagteamenterprise961]

The Human Highlight! Would have loved to see how different Wilkins career would have been had he not tore his achilles! Such a same the battles that could have been between him and Jordan would have been prime time!

[@MarshallHaith-b9s]

I truly miss this era of the NBA! Those guys were real showmen! Today's NBA is DEAD!!!!!

[@francoisgrenier]

dominique was pure power!

[@darrellappling9276]

You right bad man

[@mongoslade277]

Not a Michael Jordan fan but if Jordan was Not a rookie he would've won this contest

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

Terence Stansbury was great, wow. I also loved how the other players aren't acting like idiots court side, running onto the court and trying to stop each other like clowns. Nothing like today's NBA sideshow.

[@visualartistpatricksmithwa2744]

dominiuqe did the same dunks over and over again

[@cnote3580]

Fact

[@kkbaby30]

True, but MJ seemed like he was just making shit up as he went and a couple of really weak dunks. Nique came in with a plan

[@pepsiguy52883]

@@kkbaby30mj did too

[@vika0194]

Well, it’s the most overrated dunk contest ever…

[@kkbaby30]

@@vika0194 Contextually, it's really not overrated given it was only about the 5th NBA Dunk contest and 6th professional contest, overall. Early dunks weren't vary varied.

Jordan el Rey en todas las Categorias Inigualable👑

[@nikkiidol22]

The judges were not impressed around with those low scores ...lol

[@jamesrobinson8612]

If he had not passed away, Len Bias would have won this crown

[@charlesjonesii5680]

Why where people sitting on the court?

[@mongoslade277]

Larry Nance should be be DQd bc every year he wears the wrong colored jersey

[@CarlosMontiel-in4gr]

Debio ganar Jordan porque algunos Mates de Winkins no eran para un 47 eran para un 45 y jordan hizo mates mejores en ocasiones y les pusieron solo un 44 , 45 eso es TRAMPA Jordan debio ganar

[@noaryu2031]

This loss made MJ the 🐐..

[@jaggernaut100980]

Dominique Wilkins all dunks he did was just through vertical leaping and powering. There was no creativity, smoothness, no pausing in mid air before dunkinh it and basically, no finesse. Unlile MJ.

[@tonberrymasta]

But the speed and power of Wilkins dunks was unreal.
