Baron Davis Wins 1997 High School Dunk Contest (McDonald's All-American)

While Baron Davis' final round performance may have lacked the peak level pizzazz of runner-up Kenny Gregory, completing three final round dunks to Gregory's two propelled Davis to the 1997 McDonald's All-American Slam Dunk title.
Davis went on to play two seasons at UCLA before becoming the third overall pick of the 1999 NBA Draft. One of the top dunking point guards in NBA history, Davis made two all-star appearances with the Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets before etching his name in the Golden State Warriors history books when he spearheaded an unlikely upset over the No. 1 seeded Dallas Mavericks in 2007.
