Andrew Wiggins (1.1 m): 2.01 m is not the ideal height for a player playing the small forward position (main striker), but the physical factor makes Wiggins special and difficult to stop. blocked once he had jumped and dunked the basket. |

Harold Miner (1.1 m): Miner was once considered “little Jordan” because of his playing style in American college basketball, before coming to the NBA. But Miner’s career was not so impressive. What the audience remembers most about him is his two first place finishes at Slam Dunk 1993 and 1995, with his excellent jumping and dunk ability. |

Shannon Brown (1.13 m): Brown is only 1.93 m tall, but his good rebounding ability helps him easily dunk, even daring to dunk right over the head of the accompanying player. This player won two NBA championships with Kobe Bryant with the Los Angeles Lakers. |

Zack LaVine (1.16 m): LaVine’s best jump was recorded in the 2016 Slam Dunk final with Aaron Gordon. LaVine is recognized as one of the best dunk players in NBA history. LaVine is currently the star of the Chicago Bulls with strong qualities, but is also good at throwing the ball. |

Anthony Webb (1.16 m): Webb is a miracle in NBA history. He is only 1.68 m tall, but has great resilience and has made many spectacular dunks against much taller opponents. |

Darrell Griffith (1.21 m): Griffith did not participate in any Slam Dunk competition, which is a regret for the audience who followed the NBA when he was still playing for the Utah Jazz. Griffith devoted his entire career to the Jazz, and had a period of sublime play with 3 consecutive seasons averaging over 20 points. |
|
Michael Jordan (1.21 m): This is a classic moment in NBA history, when Jordan jumped for a record and kept his balance in the air for 0.92 seconds. Jordan took momentum from the back of the court and performed this dunk at Slam Dunk 1988. He received a perfect 50 points from the judges because the dunk was at a very high level of difficulty. |
