Greatest dunker who never won a. Dunk Contest is Shawn Kemp. 0-4 in the dunk contest. His near free throw line dunk in 1991 deserves a much highest score. Dee Brown beat him in that dunk contest. Back in the day you missed several dunk attempts and you got a low score.

Maybe. I’d put Darryl Dawkins up there as well.

Why did you stop embedding the YouTube videos? That has me concerned.

The Dunk Contest where he lost against Dee Brown was highly manipulated in my opinion.
It looks like the whole thing was a long Reebok Commercial.
After Nike had such a huge success with Michael Jordan, they had to do something.
Reebok made a huge show with their pump Shoes.

A few years ago, Spudd Webb brought the House down because of his small height the people were going crazy.
It was like a Cinderella Story. I think they wanted to repeat this in a similar subject.

I watched the Dunk Contest several times.
When Shawn Kemp made those legendary Dunks the Commentators were very silent and be like "That was a nice Dunk, it was ok".
But on every normal Dee Brown Dunk there were screaming and yelling.

Aaron Gordon & Shawn Kemp both deserve Dunk Contest trophies, and neither has one.

What a shame. At least Gordon has a real ring to retire with ��:pimp:

Both of them are top ten all time dunkers. Possibly top 5

But no dunk contest trophy which is abysmal. Gonna have to watch that in youtube, as it was before I could even lift my head up and watch basketball on the TV lol
