Zach Lavin and Aaron Gordon literally revived the dunk contest in the years they participated. If we can rewind the clock and put a prime Vince Carter in those contest...... that would be fcking insane. Btw they need to stop putting big-man in the dunk contest, this whole thing is about presentation and unfortunately when you are almost 7 foot, there isn't much you can do when you are in the air.

Add one more to this list (probably as #1 pushing all others down one place) from Gordon's 2020 dunk contest. The guy has the best 3 dunks of all time without any titles, that's how broken the dunk contest point system is. When there is a tie at the end of the contest, you should rank all dunks of the finalists and give the trophy to the best dunk of them. You are welcome!
