Michael Jordan Dunks from Free-Throw Line in Dunk Contest

No dunk is linked to one person the way Michael Jordan is connected to the dunk from the free-throw line.

Entering the final attempt of the 1988 Slam Dunk Contest, Jordan needed a 48 to tie Dominique Wilkins and a 49 to win. Everything was on the line, so he broke out his signature dunk in front of the home crowd.

Jordan’s dunk from the free-throw line earned him a perfect score and allowed him to successfully defend his title.
