Dominique Wilkins talked about his iconic duel with Michael Jordan in the 1988 slam dunk contest. Wilkins revealed that he scored highly with his first two dunks, yet received a lower ranking on his third, though it was considered one of his best. He suggested that the contest being in Chicago may have influenced the judgment. Jordan's famous free throw dunk, though impressive, was attempted twice. Wilkins argued that, back then, missed chances weren't easily forgiven. Regardless of the result, with Jordan taking home the victory, Wilkins asserts that the fans got their money's worth. Years later, both players reflect on the contest, with Jordan even acknowledging Wilkins's deserved win.
