Isaiah Rider - 1994 NBA Slam Dunk Contest (Champion)

[@OSDCrusher]

Orlando Wooldridge was the first player to go between the legs on a dunk contest in 1984

[@killahertz]

facts.. og Chicago Rim Assassin💯

[@DungarooTV]

Fact. Many people don't realise this!

[@ShaWiffle]

Exactly... 1984 orlando Wooldridge did it more difficult if I remember correctly. Brought the ball with his right hand through the legs from his backside to his front towards his left hand to jam it left handed. Maybe I remember that incorrectly. It just looked less spectacular because he's tall.

[@desmondday7837]

FACTS

[@brucesmith1544]

sure, but he was taller with much longer reach...he barely got off the floor lol

[@chocolatechipslime]

I just realized Barkley has been hosting games for like 25 years now

[@valentinotera3244]

The firt miss dunk is even more impressive! What a bounce!!

[@2011hwalker]

Head is legit just below the rim at his highest point. He looked like he taking off an trampoline.

Great Child hood memories here

[@el34glo59]

That first dunk was so underrated its silly. Dude is 6'5, barely runs, and jumps from outside the box. Just explodes. Basically freezes in front of the rim with hos head over it. If he grew up in this era, hed be shitting on alot of dudes And these dudes had to make 3 in 90 seconds. They started it all.

[@2011hwalker]

First dunk he was absolutely flying. He was 6'5 and his head is at the rim at his high point, he really timed the leap perfectly and exploded.

[@mesohorney1408]

I'm so glad I was watching this back then..

[@ckyung1312]

I remember watching the draft and immediately after being drafted Rider promised he would take the NBA slam dunk championship. At first I thought he was overly confident, but immediately after his BTL dunk, I knew he was just legit…and confident.

He was an injury replacement for Harold Miner. Why? Still not sure. But young Allan could at least get a little more than the Knicks iteration. His performance - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYq9qmNurMZ9rq8&ab_channel=RyanVanDusen

[@Joseph-lz5er]

@@Swove2204 I watched his dunks already and they were awful so I was wondering why he was in there. Even as a replacement, Allan was NOT a dunker, even in his Pistons' days.lol Matter of fact his Piston teammate Grant Hill should have participated, since he was explosive and had a 40 inch vertical.

[@Swove2204]

@@Joseph-lz5er ​ Yeah I didn't mean to overstate Houston's hops. There were probably a dozen guys I would have picked ahead of him that year and his performance has been a long-running joke of sorts (the header dunk, in particular); I just meant he tended to have a little bit of a quicker bounce than many who only knew him as a sniper in New York may have realized. Nothing fancy, but he was liable to do this early on - ​ kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6KoeZafl9CEhrc&ab_channel=RyanVanDusen As it relates to Grant Hill, he actually WAS scheduled to participate in the 1996 NBA Slam Dunk Contest (in San Antonio, won by Brent Barry) but withdrew days prior with a sore wrist. www.spokesman.com/stories/1996/feb/07/around-the-nba/

Different time, it has had a long time to evolve since then

[@gray_gogy]

@@hielogogo9109 not it doesn't make it easier it makes it harder in a way. The dunks that Aaron Gordon did require more time in the air and the bigger and heavier you are, the lower your vertical would be thus lower air time.

Jesus is our Lord and Savior. Jesus is God in flesh. Jesus is the one true God. We are all sinners and we all fall short of the glory of God. Jesus came to the Earth and died for sins to be washed away so can make it to Heaven. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and the only way to Heaven. U have to do more than just a believe in Jesus to make it to Heaven tho. U have to do the Lord's will. These are the things the word of God told us we have to do be forgiven for our sins, saved, and make it to Heaven. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Repent from your sins. Get baptized in the name of Jesus. Have a deep relationship with Jesus. Love everyone Forgive others Obey God's commandments. Speak the word of God to the world. Do the Lord's will until the end. There is nothing more important than God. This life is jus temporary but Heaven and Hell is forever. Your true purpose in life is to follow Jesus, have a deep relationship with Jesus, walk with Jesus, learn about Jesus, and lead others to Jesus. God has so many commandments it's 613 of them and it's impossible to obey all of them all the time. U are gonna make mistakes and God knows U can't be perfect that's why Jesus came to the Earth and died for our sins to be washed away. God jus wants U to try your hardest to not sins, to obey his commandments, and to do everything he wants U to do and when U do sin he jus wants U to be honest with him and admit to your sins, ask for forgiveness of your sins, and ask Jesus to help U not give into temptation of sins. Hell wasn't meant for us it was meant for Satan and the other fallen angels. Satan decieved the first humans and caused them to sin and the world become corrupt and most humans choose not to follow Jesus. Satan is decieving people and there are so many people heading to Hell. Satan, the fallen angels, evil spirits, and Satan's followers the Illuminati, the richest families in the world and the Free Masons, they all control the world from the governments, the economy, drug trade, Hollywood, movies, TV, radio, news, science community, schools, and even religion and they are lying to U, decieving U, trying to brainwash U, and trying to keep U from the truth. They don't want U to follow Jesus. Those people are Devil worshippers that sold their soul to the Devil for fortune, fame, and power. They promote sin thru movies TV and music, they try to get U disobey God, they don't want U to follow Jesus, they poison your food water and medicine, and they are trying to create a One World Government that Satan will come as the AntiChrist and will rule the world in the last days. And they are gonna try to make U take the mark of the beast on your forehead or forearm and if U take it U will automatically go to Hell. And they are gonna try to kill U. Religion is being used to confuse people. That's why there is so many different religions and there should only one religion and that's Jesus. Christianity is even doing things wrong. It has many different religions inside one religion and they are all making their own interpretations of the Bible instead of going exactly what the word of God says. When Christianity was started the Romans took several books out the original Hebrew Bible. Most churches and preachers don't speak the full truth of the Bible they are presching false doctrines. Most of them also follow the traditions of men instead of obeying God's commandments. They are celebrating the Sabbath on the wrong day Sunday the first day of the week instead of Saturday the last day of the week. They are baptizing people the wrong way in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost instead of in the name of Jesus. And alot of them celebrate false Paegan holidays that are satanic. And U don't have to go to church cause Jesus never commanded us to. jesus set his church up on the rock with his disciples and we are suppose to be disciples of Jesus so the us the followers of Jesus is the real church not a building. Church buildings are jus places U can go to praise God, have a fellowship, and learn the word of God but U can do those things anywhere anytime. It's better to make sure U read the Bible yourself and learn the word of God and make sure the church is going exactly of the word of God. If U Love Jesus then U will obey his commandments. U show Jesus U Love him by your actions. Don't live for the worldly things like money, materialistic things, attention, and other stuff, live for Jesus. Dont follow the world follow Jesus. And Jesus is coming back soon.
