The "East Bay Funk Dunk" is the first of the between-the-legs to gain national attention (though it was attempted in the first contest, no one remembers it). Rider's dunks are contrasted against the power of Shawn Kemp, who is again denied victory in this contest. Both dunkers were a rare combo of grace and power that is rarely seen in the contest.

Winner: Isaiah Rider
