Michael Jordan 1987: Full Dunk Contest

I'm glad that Youtube gave my channel back to me and with this upload, I am back to getting up as many new videos as I can. This channel will never be taken for granted again and I thank everyone's great support during the furlough.

My backup channel, "Hoopsencyclopedia23" will remain up as a backup in case this happens again.

Anyway, this 1987 dunk contest edit pretty much captures every dunk in the contest. The setup and rules back then were perfect which each player only allowed just 2 misses before disqualification. It allowed for a lot more suspense and less, "throw-the-ball" dunks which ruin suspense with repeated attempts as today. This contest is famous so there's not much to say except that the stunning quality of this VHS tape has held up pretty well for the past 23 years.

@FrankGarrett316 Not Jordan's. Jordan's free throw line dunk is one of the most athletic and skilled dunk all time. That and his rock the craddle. All other free throw line dunkers run with the ball and stretch out. Jordan dribbles the ball which takes away the momentum and uses more athleticism,curls back his legs and pumps the ball with one hand. No one can duplicate a Jordan free throw line dunk with the one handed pump and dribbling the ball full court.

Jordan the greatest dunker of all time in my book... Why people ask? Because his dunks in the air defined ART... As soon as you saw it in slow motion, the ART revealed itself! ... No one has yet come close to this type of ballet & astronomical art on AIR..... Simply beautiful!!

dr j had the ugliest free throw dunk along with serge ibaka ugly dunk. look at a slow mo of jordans 88 dunk and their is no way in hell you can say its not the best. and then you have people saying well jordans foot was over the line, who cares the one in 87 was on the line and still looked better than ibakas or dr j. just admit the 88 free throw is the greatest dunk of all time. past present and future

[destiny32025]

well said frank, jordans 88 free throw line dunk was the greatest single dunk of all time, first of all jordan dribbled to the line and then at the halfway point jordans head is even with the rim and the ball cocked behind his head along with his other arm. and when jordan dunked it he was barely reaching out he made it look easy and could have went another foot back period. anybody thats ever done this dunk runs up to the line and are streching with everything they have just to make it.
