The NBA Slam Dunk Contest is an annual National Basketball Association competition held during the NBA All-Star Weekend. While McGrady missed his final dunk, in essence eliminating him from the contest, Francis earned a 48 for his favorite dunk of the night: an alley-oop reverse leapfrog where he coiled his body high in the air and seemed to bring his knees to the bottom of the net for the stuff.There was buzz in the arena that, for his final act, Carter might perform a 720-degree dunk -- a slam in which he would spin two full revolutions like an acrobat, an incomprehensible dunk he had actually completed before. "If I know I would have won the dunk contest [with it], that would have been the time to try it." Francis: Even coming into the [2000] dunk contest they said [Vince] was going to win. He lobbed the ball to himself but could not catch it cleanly. All competitors had to perform a dunk from 10 feet, but Julius Erving started marking his steps from the free throw line (15 feet away). The contest was inaugurated by the American Basketball Association at its All-Star Game in 1976 in Denver, the same year the slam dunk was legalized in the NCAA. The two-handed slam dunk from just inside the free throw line (Score: 48) For his final dunk of the night, Carter opted to play it safe and go with a basic throwdown in order to secure the trophy.

No matter, for he completed his revolution while simultaneously windmilling the ball before stuffing it through the hoop with a ferocity nearly unseen before.

NBA All-Star Weekend features many exciting events, but the Slam Dunk Contest typically takes the cake. Historically, the dunk contest drew some mild criticisms. The slam he had prepared to open with he instead decided to use second in his routine. That year, a lockout caused a shortened season and wiped out the entire All-Star Weekend.

From straight on, he tossed the ball in the air and caught it in a 360-degree turn, pumping the ball between his legs for good measure. While the official basketball festivities were held at Oakland Arena (now Oracle Arena), most other NBA events happened across the Bay Bridge where the players' hotels were, in San Francisco.Inside the Oakland Arena, a frenzy unlike many others was building for the first NBA Slam Dunk Contest in nearly 36 months. Only in the process he continued his arm through the hoop and grabbed on to the rim with the inside of his elbow. Artis Gilmore went first followed by George Gervin, Larry Kenon, David Thompson and finally Erving.
Cynthia Cooper (judge, 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Contest): We knew he could dunk… It would take a generational moment, his performance in Oakland, to reach his grandest level of fame.Yet before Carter could become "Vinsanity," before he could deliver one of the most talked-about, most celebrated All-Star moments ever, there was no dunk contest at all.Following the scintillating showdown between Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins in the 1988 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, the league's ugly secret was that the event was hemorrhaging cachet.
