January 28, 1984 - The original Slam Dunk Contest champion, Julius Erving, came one dunk away from earning the second dunk crown of his career (his first coming in the ABA in 1977). At age 33, Erving was still able to impress with a soaring free throw line dunk in the final round.

For you young guys that don't know about Doc, this is a very old Dr. J at 35 years old. Far beyond his prime to be dunking in a contest.
Regardless of how many new Dunkers out there are Dr.J is Still my favorite.
Doc thirty five dunking from the free throw line omg
Nance's dunk was crazy. I always thought MJ came up with this dunk.
My favorite player of all times!
Nance was okay but Dr j's dunk was very powerful
Dr J at about 35 years old and only lost by 2 points because of one missed dunk. Damn shame...
Dr.J 68 and can still go upstairs strong
Learn from The Best Dr. J!!
That judge
2:48 This explains why the NBA closed the gap between the bottom of the basket and backboard starting in the 1985-1986 season.
Larry nance had that one sky walk dunk .. thats it.
Dr. J is the best
Doc warmed up as the content kept going
Who else didn't know Dr J was the first person to dunk from the Free throw line
I knew, but then again I'm old
Dr, J lose the champion, but every body remember the last dunk!
Must've hurt when he hit his head on the backboard. I can just imagine that sting.
I love those old Phoenix suns jerseys. I dont know why i just do 😊
They should allow you to replace a missed dunk to encourage more difficult dunks. Dr. J won this contest if it wasn't for the missed dunk. He should have had an opportunity to replace the miss.
Dr. J., V. Carter, L. Nance .... best ever.
Yup
And Jordan
@@davepessolano2886 He copied them all. But I still consider him and Kobe the best players of all time.
Best Ever
It's Dr. J., Vince and Mike, Gordon and Nique
7:17~8:00
I didn't know DrJ bag was really that crazy, wow
miss Dave Zinkoff with the great intro Julius ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRving
Yikes, the shorts were really . .short back then. My boys would have been dangling and catching alot of air.
Aren't we glad for MJ insisting to wear his Carolina shorts under his Bulls shorts? Because that's why we have longer shorts now.
***** Jordan debuted the longer shorts around the same time as the Fab 5.
It's called a jockstrap. It kept our dick in place
Doc still had the best dunks , just was a fluke n he missed one :(
greatest nba showman of all time.with magic and ice man at close seconds.and dominque too.not m. j..because he basically copied all of docs stuff..
+EULISS BENOIT Are you kidding me? Michael had a 48 inch vertical, and made the freethrow line dunk his own by double clutching his feet creating a flying motion from even further back than Dr J when all he did was just get the bal in the rim. You're biased! Michael's freethrow line dunk was on another level, and he originated the kiss the rim dunk, and many other dunks. How can you not include one of if not the greatest showman ever. Name one dunk that Jordan stole from Dr J. Jordan landed dunks that the Doc couldn't even attempt. Jordan had a 48 inch vertical compared to Dr J's 41 inch, and Dominique's 42 verticals. He had over 6 inches on both of them. Jordan jumped, and glided side ways, and had to duck his head from hitting the rim as he went under, and over the rim with the right hand slam. The degree of difficulty on Jordan's dunks compared to Dr J's were astronomical. Jordan was a better player than anyone you mentioned, and just look at his top 50 plays. He was the ultimate showman. Wilkin's wasn't on his level as a player, or showman when it comes to games. Jordan did things that none of them did. I can read you quote's from Magic,Bird,West,and Wilkins on Jordan. Jordan loved the Doctor, but he didn't have half the arsenal that Jordan had
+Josh Potts shut up fanboy
Victor V Only spitting facts.
Another one of micheals clons.He has millions of clons.around the world.You people are the dummist/stupitist people.in the history of the world.Glorifiying a man thats going back to the dust.just like evreybody.A mortal human bien that cant even play professional ball any more.you bunch of empty headed morons.wairng this mans gear.like hes a god or something.and im not jealous at all.Im just amazed how many.mentally disturbed people.there are in the U.S.. and the west.You idiots in america.worship athlets.
EULISS BENOIT I don't worship no man. You've sadly mistaken my character. The truth is that Michael is an egotistic, compulsive gambling, complete jerk. He charges people 200 dollars for shoes that only cost 30 dollars to make. He is obsessed with vanity, and only cares about himself. No man on Earth is worth worshipping. He's a puppet picked by the elite to be glorified for something as basic as playing a game. Worshiping a person like him is as sad as the people who go around playing Pokémon go.
2:48...ouch.
They made it look like routine operations. Even at 35 for Dr. J.
7:57 ITS OVA!!!!
Ik he lost though
The rim rattlers!
Now days they are allowed to miss multiple tries.. Doc missed on a fluke of his fav windmill just 1x.. otherwise he wins.
doctor J> zach lavince
Come on. These dunks a pretty pedestrian and you know it. Dr. J was obviously a more influential player than Zach and his in game dunks were groundbreaking. But this stuff would not get you out of the first round these days.
@@omnivorous65 very true
Dr dunkenstein and the human highlight film didn't even make the finals in 84. Who's in the dunk contest for 2015?
Right now rumored to be Victor Oladipo, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Mason Plumlee, and Zach LaVine.
Zach won
+Ryan Van Dusen They need to put Westbrook in there
I guarantee u Mj wasnt Dunking from the free-throw at 35
Dr J dunks are very difficult he makes them look easy. They used a wheel to spin and the dunker had to copy the dunk Dr J had done in the past and Gerald Wallace was a great dunker but his dunk did not look.good at all.
If you had a vs dunk contest from the past players & now. This generation will win because they discovered more creativity. Most of these dunks they did back then, players can do it IN-GAME now.
I am uncertain if "discovered more creativity" would be the correct phrasing. Perhaps more accurately, today's generation has wisely benefited from the creative steps taken by all those who came before. The realm of what's believed to be possible is vastly different from the way it used to be, and it's almost entirely because of everyone who's paved the way.
For instance, Jordan's likely not cocking back from the free throw line without Julius Erving setting the stage. Brent Barry's not likely taking off from the free throw line without Jordan & Erving setting the stage. James White is likely not windmilling without Barry, Jordan, and Erving setting the stage. And Serge Ibaka's likely not taking off from behind the free throw line without White, Barry, Jordan, and Erving setting the stage.
Dunking is essentially a series of rolling benchmarks. The biggest difference between players then and players now is players then didn't have the benefit of seeing the dunk evolve in the manner it did, largely thanks to their own performances.
+Prestin Son Such a horrible argument. Am I smarter than Issac Newton because I took a college course on particle physics which he would have known nothing about?
1. Dunk contest culture has changed greatly, these dunks were basically all impromptu, while Zach Lavine has been rehearing his dunks since he was at Bothell High School (I went to that school when he was there).
2. Athletic trainers constantly come up with supplementary exercises to help athletes with functional strength to aid in jumping higher, running faster, etc.
3. Today's athletes have access to the information grid. They can find something online and try to replicate it and learn different techniques. Aaron Gordon wasn't the first to do that dunk, I've seen others on youtube do it.
4. Have you ever seen Shawn Kemp or Dominique Play? Hardly anyone today would dare to dunk like that IN TRAFFIC.
You can't just plop someone back in time. If you want to compare players of different eras, it is only fair to focus on their innovation, creativity, and legacy, NOT their athletic ability. Players today are NOT more creative simply more athletic, but that's just a product of their time so its relative. Doctor J, for example was as good as anybody when it came to relentless attack of the basket and finishing with grace around the rim. That's what sets him apart. He is responsible for elevating Basketball from simply competition to sports entertainment. The entire sport progresses and their are a few people every generation who help elevate the game to the next level (Mikan, Petit, Cousy in the 50s, Wilt, Rusell, Baylor, Big O in the 60s, Kareem, Doctor J, Pistol in the 70s, Magic and Bird in the 80s, Michael, Shaq, Kobe, and many more that I haven't mentioned). Without all these guys the NBA would never have progressed and Today's players wouldn't now anything, we would all be waiting around for the next great talent to reshape the game.
Modern players are more of a 3 pointers, but they can't hold a candle on these legends
@@PM_yearsago Straight Facts!
They wore uniforms that fit and didn't cover themselves with hideous tattoos in those days.
Stfu😂
is that kyrie @ 5:26??? anyone??
Janus Agustin look nothing like him
Theyre all using My favorite michael jordan's all moves but they great Michael is still good than Dr J. Comapare jordan's free throw line dunk into erving's free throw mj bend all of his legs and hands to make it amazing while erving is straight so jordan is the best he has a hard time to practice that bend
You do realize that Michael Jordan got his moves from Dr. Jay right? Dr. Jay played long before MJ. Dr. Jay was the first to dunk from the free throw line.
But jordan clutch a dunk while dr j just go straight and hang
Mart Denzel Dela Cruz stop beind dumb
Don't disrespect the Doctor bro
Understand, when Dr. J and a lot of players came to the NBA, or were admitted, from the now defunct ABA, they were already peaking, or playing later in their careers. They didn' t have the benefit of playing in their early twenties like players today. This footage is an older Julius Erving still kicking butt. Not many players could fly through the air like he did back then. There was an HBO documentary about the ABA, and its black players that many were afraid to play against. Check it out! Ciao!
damn those dunks were boring as hell back then.
Mark Ortiz well Dr j was 35 years old at the time
Those dunks were boring as he'll back then
Thkse dunks are boring. They would get nonore than 6 points in today era
Dr j is one of my favorite player's of all time but these dunks are trash
