The Slam Dunk contest can be hit or miss, and it lost most of its luster until it was revived by Zach LaVine's breathtaking display in 2015.
But strip away all the misses, all the needless props, and the occasional reverse layup, and there's plenty of jams to be celebrated from the contest's 32-year history.
The NBA cobbled together a mixtape of all the greats who have taken flight at All-Star weekend. Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Spud Webb, Kobe Bryant, and, of course, Vince Carter were put on full display for their skywalking talents.
