Dunking-related accolades: 2x NBA Slam Dunk Contest Champion



To earn the nickname "The Human Highlight Film" you have to be a pretty damn spectacular dunker, and that's precisely what Dominique Wilkins was. It wasn't just that he could get it done in the Slam Dunk Contest, either; Wilkins is perhaps the greatest in-game dunker of all-time, a man who would routinely go out of his way to dunk right in people's faces just to assert his dominance. He also genuinely cared about the outcome of the Slam Dunk Contest, saying recently in an interview that he still carries a grudge over losing to Michael Jordan in 1988.
