Anyone watch it?
It was pretty good this year. A good shootout reminiscent of the 1988 Dominique vs Jordan contest.
While the dunks were better and more athletic, won't match the Nique vs Jordan just because of the star power. Not likely to see that type of star power again in a dunk contest. But as far as dunks go and drama, this one was one of the best. I rate it up there maybe sixth

p.s. how I rate the dunk contests, of course it seems all the ones at the beginning were the best
1st: Nique vs. Jordan (1988?),
Long time coming too since the previous year Nique was injured, and the year before that Jordan was injured. Star power. Drama. The works
2nd: Spud Webb wins (1986?) (Spud vs Nique! Nique won the previous year)
3rd: Jordan wins in Seattle (1987?) (Jordan's coming out party in the dunk contest, no Nique nor Webb)
4th: Vince Carter wins (2000) (his coming out party)
5th: Zac Levine vs Aaron Gordon (2016) (though this would not be as big a deal without #6)
6th: Zac Levine coming out party (2015)
