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

In the first post-Vince contest, there was bound to be a letdown, as he opted not to defend his title. Desmond Mason kind of stands out in this contest, as his dunks are the only ones that quality of "top-level", as his competitors not only failed to brink the funk on a nasty dunk, they pretty much mailed it in for the check.

Winner: Desmond Mason

Dominique's final contest and final win, he most displayed the same dunks he had used in previous contests, except with less power and less grace than the young Nique could muster. The competition in this year was equally as weak, creating a ho-hum contest.

Winner: Dominique Wilkins

One of the least memorable dunk contests of all time, most of the dunks in this contest are recycled from years past, by people we've seen do them before, or we've never heard of before. The best word to describe this year's contest is "bleehhhh" (if that's a word).

Winner: Kenny Walker

Featuring such NBA superstars as David West, Stacey Augmon, and Cedric Ceballos, this contest was doomed from the very start. When no fan has ever heard of any of the entrants, it's not a good sign. This dunk ended with one of the worst gimmick dunks in contest history - a "blindfolded" Ceballos threw down a lame dunk to win it all.

Winner: Cedric Ceballos
