![]() ![]() Even though he complained about a shoulder issue, he did go and compete in the Rookie game (which he won MVP) later that same day. ![]() AI was on the original list of dunkers, but then dropped out citing shoulder issues. Kobe Bryant final would have been sweet, but now just imagine an Allen Iverson vs. Grant Hill dunk off would have been pretty interesting.Īllen Iverson- Another person who should have been in the ’97 dunk contest. The NBA canceled the dunk contest the next year and then the injuries started to pile up on the former Duke forward and then that was that as far as the dunk contest goes. Grant Hill was initially on the dunkers list, but then dropped out. Grant Hill- Pre-injury Grant Hill was supposed to have competed in the 1997 NBA All Star weekend dunk contest, which incase you forgot, was the one Kobe had won. If he competes and wins, he would be part of the first father-son NBA slam dunk contest champions. As of right now, the NBA has not contacted him yet for this year’s dunk contest, which is conveniently being held in LA, but has said that will strongly consider it if asked. Nance Jr was invited to compete in last year’s dunk contest (which he most likely would have won considering how awful it was) but declined because of a bruised knee. Larry Nance Jr.- For right now we are putting Larry Nance Jr on our list, but that may change this All Star game next month. We will for sure never know, even though he said he would be in a bunch of them, he never actually was.

Some say he would just be okay, as he is an in-game dunker and not really a contest/show dunker. Lebron is the all-time what if of the NBA Dunk contest. So here they are: the players we always wanted to compete in the NBA slam dunk contest, but never did. Of all the players that ever competed, these guys never made the final list. One thing we haven’t seen from the NBA slam dunk contest are the players on this list. We have seen a lot of things in the NBA dunk contest over the years: crazy dunk contests, really really really bad ones, rules constantly changing, all sorts of different props, guys who should of won who didn’t and guys who did win who shouldn’t have. The dunk contest has been around for decades at this point.
