Hands down, best dunk contest. Best nba year too. Warriors 73-9 record, Kobe last year. Cleveland came back from 3-1 lead.
2016 was just goated
But didn't say golden state came back from 3 to 1 too against okc
@@lawrencesmith5661 Why would he need to when they disappeared when it mattered most 💀
@@68bongski facts are facts so tell it all not some of it 😆
3pt contest was lit too, went down to the wire between Klay and Steph.
The under the legs over the mascot is the best dunk I've ever seen.
Facts
100%. I think it’s the best dunk ever because I can’t think of another person past or present that has the flexibility and strength to do it. Aaron Gordon is the only human who can do that dunk that perfectly.
@@reaganhay3157 nah it’s a Kidd in highschool who started this dunk. His name Jimmi something I think. Boy got bunnies. Ik he can do it & be jump higher than Gordan
I mean, Vinces reverse 360 was amazing, but yeah FACTS
EVER!
It’s our tradition to come back to this video every year whenever there’ll be a NBA dunk contest weekend!!
And cringe after watching because of the robbery
@@tiismuna FACTS
@@tiismuna nah AG ran out of ammo lol. Any nba player can do that last one at the 1st attempt😭🤣
Or throughout the year just because it is that good.
@@nassiglutt6587 would not of even came to that Zach got a 50 from slightly altering a dunk the Gordon did like bruh
Gordon's last dunk definitely could have sent this contest into triple overtime.
Should have. That's a 50.
@@leungsz Agreed 👍
Madness it got 3 9's. Guess they just running out of air time on the network or something and wanted it to end. They were dueling AG's last dunk was definitely a 50
Yes and we will see zach free throw line 360 dunk
@@rjsulit3056 I swear Zach would’ve had to attempt a 720 if Gordon had gotten another 50. He was definitely running out of ideas but he has the athleticism to match Gordon’s creativity.
Probably the best Slam Dunk contest ever. Also, the first of the two times Aaron Gordon was robbed.
Not really... The last few dunks of Gordon were mediocre...
@@mozdaboz cap, the last dunk was a 50. peep how shaq was the one giving 8's & 9's throughout the whole contest. if he gave a 10 on the last one it was really worthy of the 10. they both should have won, what they did was worthy of making history as the only dunk contest to have 2 winners. we aint seen nun like this since 2016.
@@mozdaboz his dunk over the mascot underneath his legs was enough to win him the contest imo
@@kshitijraj20 So does Lavine's counter which is a windmill off the ft line...
@@mozdaboz It's not off the free throw line
The commentary is what pushes this to elite ELITE level. 😂😂😂
Shotout to kenny. THE GOAT OF SLAMDUNK COMMENTARY 😂
THE KENNY SMITH MASTERCLASS
Amen@@ND-OPS
Kenny Smith is showing the world the fact he has a 75 IQ.. at best repeating the same thing 4-5 times. Its embarrassing to listen to him.
23:32 Arguably the best dunk ever. The level of difficulty, the creativity (never done before!) and on the first try! fire!
Not 'arguably', it is THE BEST DUNK ever
This is the best dunk the history of this competition but it is not the most iconic. I give that to Vince Carter. Aaron Gordon had 2 of the best dunks ever in this one competition and he got robbed and buried under. Zach won off repeating the same dunk with a small tweak each time, just ridiculous absolutely stupid.
@@Phelddagrif1998 Yes! People are saying AG lost bc he had a weaker dunk than lavines in the final rounds. But it should have never gotten another round in the first place, had the judges not score Lavines dunk 50 AFTER seeing AG's sit-in-air dunk. The judges should've scored it lower, bc in comparison to the sit-in-air dunk, it was not as creative and not to mention it was a bit repetitive.
My favorite for sure, THE ELEVATION
Fuck no in dunk contests yes but ever no. Vince carter dunk over the 7ft European center was the best dunk ever
Best dunk contest ever. Zach Levine, unreal. But it says everything though that the thumbnail was Aaron Gordon’s iconic dunk. He really deserved this one.
Aaron Gordon. Shouldn't have gotten it at all. Because he is not yet of legal age.
@@TorSupagidtf you on ? he a grown ass man 😂
2016 is probably going to be the last great dunk contest for a long time.
lets go
unfortunatly you are probably right😥
I think last good dunk contest is 2020
I agree with the 2020 one being the last good one
@@masonbigos5404 I don't even remember that dunk contest. Who was in it?
Took this dunk contest for granted. The greatest one ever.
Coming here to replace the eyesore I just witnessed with this masterpiece
Hey twin, me too
Fax
Same
same
Aaron Gordon clearly deserved to win. His rotating mascot dunk had the highest amount of originality.
Problem was 50 is the highest score
That was an 11 on a 1-10
One of the main reasons why 2016, was just an amazing year overall...
What a time
No it wasn’t it was the beginning of the trash we have now up until summer 2016 it was good
@@user-zi8hi7ku7o it started with killing harambe
Had to revisit this to watch a REAL contest.
Same here
This is the best dunk contest ever. You'll never see a better one than this
@@kaliefhampton2483 Facts, that's what I think
This was definitely one of the best ever slam dunk contests of all times! I’ll watch this again if this year’s slam dunk contest fails to show out this year.
One of? 😂
@@NoSaltJustPepperBae nah
from the future and i think it's safe to say McClung did not disappoint!😀
@@tristanreymendoza2402 yup.
@NoSaltJustPepperBae you were right
God really made a world where I can see Gordon never win a dunk contest 😢
Don't worry man, he will win the championship this year!!
@@donkeyhottie you were right, the NBA championship is better than any contest championship, and Gordon has a ring
Give AG his trophée 🏆 NBA
This was THE BEST SD contest I've seen. When you compare the difficulty of those dunks to others it's unimaginable
Going to be hard for any dunk contest to top this classic, legit one of the greatest events in all-star weekend history
Aaron Gordon should have 2 trophies 🏆 😢
Facts!
Easily yet he has 0. Which is insane. NBA fucked that one up.
he should have 2020 but this one he did his best dunks too early if the mascot dunks was his last too he would’ve won
@@gilbertpaschall5522 You have a point but still after a dunk like that you have to give it to him. Zach last dunks were all pretty tame compared to Gordon.
After every slam dunk contest each year I got to come back and watch this. Hands down the best slam dunk contest
We need Mac McClung, Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavine all in one dunk contest
Mac is no where near this level bro.
@@cavemanyogi150 Did you watch his dunks? He had another 4 up his sleeve, he could’ve gone way crazier if he wanted too.
Add ja morant and adebayo too
@@mintyyt9778 I like Mac, but he doesn't belong with these 2. 2 of the best ever, let's just be real Mac gets way over hyped because he's white. Look at Will Barton's first dunk, no one batted an eye. If Mac does that dunk it's an automatic 50.
@@cavemanyogi150Zach and Aaron are definitely two of the best to do it and the 2016 dunk contest is easily a top three dunk contest of all time but Mac isn’t overhyped, his first dunk would’ve been a 50 by any player’s standards, Aaron and Zach included. He’s already insane and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was able to top his performance and do even better next time around.
14 comments and no one has said it yet? LMAO. GORDON GOT ROBBED!!!!!! That's the greatest dunk ever made in a dunk contest, he sat IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AIR!!!!!
well the max points is 50...
Srsly where are the Gordon got robbed comments lol.
@@pvangsta lavine won fair and square
@@karamhamdi3218 no. Gordon had better dunks
@@tristanreymendoza2402 yeah but a maximum of 50 points can be given, everything was overkill thats why he lost
TOO GOOD!!!!!!!! This was a real dunk contest. Will NEVER get old.
As someone who has just gotten into basketball last season and not seen this contest, this is incredible. Aaron Gordon got robbed. Phenomenal stuff from the both of them
Welcome to the basketball world man
Strong Agree. Gordon was robbed!
2016 was arguably the greatest year ever
Since Vince Carter in 2000, Aaron Gordons' performance in 2016 was the best I've seen. I've been really entertained watching him dunks. 😯😯
Those were the best 2 dunk contests ever.
Everything about this was just perfect. The dunks, judges, commentary, everything was perfect. Aaron Gordon pulled off the greatest dunk ever, and Zach LaVine is the greatest dunk contest participant of all time.
Greatest dunk contest ever. Even with Gordon getting robbed. They killing me with the ads before every dunk tho
That rotating Aaron Gordon dunk with the mascot is the best dunk the contest ever had.
7 years later. The only two dunks I remember are both Aaron Gordon’s. How did he not win the contest is highway robbery.
Literally power vs finess
Zach's Free throw line dunks very underrated
I mean his free throw line dunks where good but he did it 3 times
@@matthiasgalea3484yeah and if Gordon had to win it he also has to do it right lol
Simple, he just wasn't as a good as sadio mané. In fact he never will be better than him.
14:47 "I tried to find Kenny and Shaq those for Christmas I couldn't find those ones that would explode" classic Chuck 😂😂
that sit over the mascot dunk should get more than 50 points
Fr that' not a 50 that's a 60
This and the 2000 dunk contests were the best ever
I don't agree with the 2000 slam dunk contest cuz it was a one-man show.
This is why all the judges should meet and decide the score as a group instead of individually so that you get more 48s and 49s instead of 45s and 50s
2024 Dunk Contest brings me here again.
Последние 7 лет соревнований приводят нас сюда)
THEY ABSOLUTELY ROBBED AARON GORDON IN 2016 AND IN 2020!!! BIGGEST CRIME IN NBA HISTORY!!!
this guy made the sickest dunks i have ever seen in my 40 years on this planet, i was actually jumping up and down like i was in my teens again!
seriously, try watching 90s and 2000s dunk competitions after this, its like watching golf in slowmotion...
facts lol
That's true man
He had the most spectacular dunk ever, but that windmill from the ft line is also a 50, you can t deny that! And that last dunk from Lavine was a 50 whereas Gordon s last dunk should ve been a 49 not a 47. Zach won that fair! It was very very close but i think Zach was the best!
Honestly I don't agree with the judges on Gordon's last dunk, that was a 50, but nobody does a 360 from the free throw line & that's fuckin insane what Gordon pulls off... I honestly thought Lavine won this but a small thread.... Other wise Gordon wins as well but nobody was more consistent than Zack Lavine's 2 performances
not in 2016 lol. zack was way better lol. he did two free-throw line dunks lol.
Kenny's "It's over again!!!" kills me every time😂😂😂😂
I took these times for granted feels like yesterday😂
The best slam dunk 🔥❤😍contest of the last decade
Every year after slam dunk contest I come back to see this one.
The spinning mascot dunk by A-aron G. Is still one of the best dunks in the competition ever.
I almost forgot this because the other one under legs
This will never get old.
23:32 Best Dunk ever in history of existence
vincarter olympic dunk is number one. Aaron gordon seated in mid air to number 2. two unbeatable dunks too. unless someone front flip a dunk.
@@LOANETWORK naaaaah i'd pick aaron gordon
cap
Gordon and Levine really need a rematch before they're both too old.
Unfortunately Gordon said he's done doing the Slam Dunk contest.
@@Radentstwo he got robbed twice
I don’t blame Aaron
2020 was Aaron Gordon to win
Aaron Gordon SAT DOWN in MID AIR and didn't win... let that sink in💀
AG does a 360 between the legs but Vince’s regular between the legs wins the competition and is considered iconic. Make it make sense
watching Andre Drummund collapse after Aaron Gordons"s sit down dunk has me weak everytime! LMAO! @23:35
You can see how good this contest was when the other Nba stars on the sideline are enjoyed watching them dunkin.
i think gordons 3rd dunk under both legs is extremely difficult. nearly impossible. possibly the best dunk ever!
THIS WAS AN. INSTANT. CLASSIC.
Aaron Gordon got robbed.
“Will the Thrill”
“Who calls you that?!”
💀💀💀
Aaron Gordon won that hands down!!
Hands down baby! 🥳💅💯
Magic disrespectful for giving Will Barton’s first dunk a six😂 like bro😂
Also Kev going in on 'Will the Thrill' is some 🔥 🔥 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's 2023 but this still the greatest NBA dunk contest.
Ah it’s All star weekend again. An annual ritual to comeback to the greatest dunk contest ever.
This is my favorite dunk contest ever and it happened during my childhood remember when it came on, one of the best dunk contests ever too
28:35 It takes a great dunker to appreciate a great dunk
One of the GOAT contests but AG got robbed
When people think that the 3pt contest is better they don't realise that they're simply looking for instant gratification
Dunk contest through the highs and lows will eventually give you classics that will live on forever like this one
Except for Larry bird there's basically nothing that is truly an immortal moment from the 3pt
The dunk has Vince MJ vs Dominique
TOO GOOD!!!!!!!! This was a real dunk contest. Will NEVER get old.. Took this dunk contest for granted. The greatest one ever..
Everything about this dunk contest was perfect, the commentary, the dunks, the judges, just beautiful
Man, we could've seen Lavine do a 360 windmill freethrow line dunk if they gave 50 on AG's last dunk.
The highlight of the dunk contest was Shaq and his pettiness 🤣🤣
Started playing basketball last 4 months and my friend recommended this video to me. THIS IS FIRE 🔥
the greatest NBA slam dunk in history!
We don’t need no flashy LED courts. All we need is a rewind of this.
these is the most epic match up between two of the most special Dunkers Ever.
Zach Lavine is very talented in Dunking while Aaron Gordon is so Creative.but honestly Aaron Gordon for me is the Real Winner,but Zach Lavine Deserves to be the 2 Time Slam Dunk Champ.
Looking back at this dunk contest. Zach's free throw line dunks just get better every time I watch this
I always come back and rewatch this every year after the All Star Dunk contest. Not Gonna stop untill a same level of quality dunk contest appears
This year ain't as bad as last but I still need to revisit 2016 lol
You already knew it when u see the reactions of everyone watching the contest
Thank you for posting this. This is the best of all time.
Go ahead and give Aaron the titles he deserved and also give him an Dunk Champ Hall Of Fame Award or something
@@NoSaltJustPepperBae Thanks! Lol
I still don’t understand how he didn’t win.
@@JTS1128 because Zach beat him easy
@@bossaudio12 in the end you’re right
@@JTS1128 He got to many errors in the end but dang his dunks is just imposible with his weight, awesome to see!
@@blackcat6308 Yeah he was incredible to watch
Everything about 2016 was magical
That what the best very competitive dunk contest I've ever watched wow to both of you man
hands down,the best dunk contest and the best season
2016 is amazing
During the dunkoffs of Zach and Gordon, you can see that the NBA players courtside have exaggerated reactions to Zach's dunks.
I mean Zach is great but Gordon for sure should won this.
Thats what urks me more than AG not winning. They were all on Zachs dick but didnt give af bout Gordons dunks.
Its not exaggerated, zach dunks may be straight to the point but these professional players know how hard those dunks are to pull off. But regardless Aarons dunks are much more memorable
The Best Slam Dunk Contest of all time. Next Season Slam Dunk, I hope Lavine & Gordon Rematch will be there again. Got my Lowest odds tho.
Every year i see this video again, best slam dunk competition ever
i wish i could be one of the people that could say they got to watch this live. so jealous because this had me going crazy in my living room. best dunk contest of all time.
The Greatest Dunk Contest Of All Time
I still cant get over that they gave 47 for that AG last dunk
After watching the dunk contest yesterday Will Barton could have won it this year with his missed dunk 😂
Between the dunks and the hilarious broadcast, this was the best dunk contest ever
Es como una batalla de freestyle y dan muchas réplicas hasta que gana el que ya había perdido pero Lavine y Gordon increíbles
gonna watch this every year until slam dunk contest is actually good again
K Hart…. “They gotta stop showing Wiggins jacket” haha that’s funny!
I was watching this live back then and I was like "wth Shaq" after giving 9s on those dunks from Gordon and Lavine.
that 360 dunk was definitely not a 50 compared to gordons revolving mascot
Ah yes. The Robbery of the Century. Zack was amazing, but the dunk Gordon did over the mascot was just inhuman. It's probably the best contest dunk i've ever seen from anyone. Insanely difficult, original (which none of Lavine's dunks was), got it on first try too. It blows my mind that he didnt win that contest.
How tf were none of LaVine’s dunks original? Show me anyone in the history of NBA Dunk Contests doing an alley pop or a windmill or a between the legs dunk from the free throw line.
You’re dumb
I miss this type of dunk contest. Real reaction and real love to the dunk contest
Coming here after seeing brown sneeze dunk
i had to rewatch this just to reminisce since 2024 dunk contest was ass🤦🏾♂️
Honestly this contest should have ended in a tie. To me both deserved to win.
7 Years ago Time flies
This’s the Best Dunks Contest Ever
still the best dunk contest I ever watched, watch it every year.
I forgot Drummond was in this dunk contest 💀
He had that night better bench reactions than dunks attempt.
