1994 NBA SLAM DUNK CONTEST 

That's literally my favorite part....lol.....such a great time

You're right! J.R. had so much more energy, flare, power, and passion when he threw it down plus the audience and the commentators were so much more hyped and enthusiastic during this 1994 contest whereas in 1984 the audience would clap after the made dunks but beyond that you didn't hear any music playing in the arena and it was quiet as a library outside of the P.A. announcer mentioning the scores after each dunk. Still nice to see these players set the trends with their original version of the dunk and then see newer versions come along years later because each newer version has slight differences in how it's executed (example: Julius Erving with is foul line slams in 1976 and 1984 and then followed up by Michael Jordan with his versions in 1987 and 1988). =)

Woolridge was sooo much harder

Isaiah perfected tho

Kemp was the king of swagger! It was uncharacteristic of him to miss those dunks, who knows what was going on.

@ John Rambo He left Reign Man in the locker room unfortunately for him.

Finally! Someone else noticed!!!

I would agree. What works for figure skating does not work for basketball. They are different sports and watching each dunk performed one after the other is not the same as watching a figure skater twirl around on the ice for a full two minutes. To me, you have to enjoy each individual dunk attempt on its own merits and cramming all the attempts together under a time limit takes away a bit of excitement from being able to analyze each individual dunk plus it shortens the contest from an hour to thirty minutes. Speeding up the contest like that makes it feel rushed and takes away some of the anticipations of learning what each player has to offer.
