The 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Contest at All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles was a fun one with a bunch of youngsters in the field showcasing the incredible athleticism and wild creativity of some of the league\u2019s most talented players. Over the years, legends have emerged. Let\u2019s take a walk \u2014 no, huge jumps and dunks \u2014 down memory lane.<\/p>\n

Mac McClung: 3 Slam Dunk Contest Wins (2023, 2024, 2025)<\/p>\n

He\u2019s the only player in NBA history to win the Slam Dunk Contest three consecutive years. Nobody expected him to crush it in 2025. He scored perfect 50s on all four dunks, including an impressive leap over a Kia. McClung joined Nate Robinson as one of the only three-time winners. Fans were perplexed as to why McClugg sat this one out. He could have four. So why didn\u2019t he? If this is true, how petty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nate Robinson: 3 Slam Dunk Contest Wins (2006, 2009, 2010)<\/p>\n

The 5-foot-9 point guard became the first three-time Slam Dunk champion in NBA history. Robinson\u2019s 2009 victory featured a memorable dunk over 6-foot-11 Dwight Howard. He won two more Slam titles after that. He became one of pro basketball\u2019s most electrifying undersized players despite his height. Amazing.<\/p>\n

Larry Nance made history by winning the inaugural NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 1984 in Denver, edging out Julius Erving in the finals with scores of 49 and 48 in round two. Wow. Beating Dr. J in a dunk contest. That\u2019s somethiingA decade later, at age 35 with the Cavaliers, he triumphed again in 1994 over Isiah Rider.<\/p>\n

The high-flying Timberwolves guard was divine in Slam contests. In 2015 (won in New York City) and in 2016 (Toronto) he was mesmerizingly graceful. OK. You. His 2016 epic duel with Aaron Gordon featured free-throw line between-the-legs dunks and mascot assists. Some believe<\/p>\n

Jason Richardson: 2 Slam Dunk Contest Wins (2002, 2003)<\/p>\n

Jason Richardson electrified All-Star weekends, winning back-to-back NBA Slam Dunk Contests in 2002 and 2003\u2014the second player after Michael Jordan to repeat. His nifty between-the-legs reverse dunk was cool, and it sealed the title. Here\u2019s something else that\u2019s sweet: His father, Jason, coached him at the 2026All-Star Saturday Night. Like father, like son. Their names, their school (both went to Michigan State), and they both have serious hops. Maybe one day, Jase can join his dad as Slam Dunk Contest champ.<\/p>\n

Harold Miner, the Miami Heat guard with the great nickname, \u201cBaby Jordan,\u201d lived up to the hype by winning back-to-back NBA Slam Dunk contests. During his rookie season, he won his first and his second one two years later. So he\u2019s tied with \u201cDaddy Jordan.\u201d Knee injuries cut his career short, but he can always say he\u2019s tied with the GOAT..<\/p>\n

Dominique Wilkins: 2 Slam Dunk Contest Wins (1985, 1990)<\/p>\n

Dominique Wilkins, the Atlanta Hawks\u2019 \u201cHuman Highlight Film,\u201d was a powerful, ferocious dunking machine. He won in back-to-back decades. At the 1985 Indianapolis event, Wilkins beat rookie Michael Jordan and Kenny \u201cThe Jet\u201d Smith by 1.7 points in a controversial final. His signature two-handed windmill became his trademark move.
His legendary rematch <\/p>\n

Michael Jordan: 2 Slam Dunk Contest Wins (1987, 1988)<\/p>\n

Air Jordan dominated the NBA Slam Dunk Contest with back-to-back wins in 1987 (Seattle) and 1988 (Chicago), defeating Jerome Kersey and rival Dominique Wilkins, respectively. Iconic free-throw line dunks, including perfect 50s, lifted MJ to the highest of rarefied air. Gotta see it to believe it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

Well, that was fun, huh? I would not have guessed (remembered?) Nate Robinson was tied with Mac McClung for first all-time. Can\u2019t wait to see what these guys create next year. Now, let\u2019s look at the only sharpshooters who have each won the 3-Point Contest three times in NBA history.<\/p>\n

First up, we\u2019re delighted for this dude:<\/p>\n

Damian Lillard: 3-Point Contest Wins (2023, 2024, 2006)<\/p>\n

Dame hadn\u2019t played a game since April 27 after rupturing his Achilles tendon. He still has a month of rehab to go. That wasn\u2019t to stop him from participating in the event. He was as smooth as ever. Silky shot after silky shot was pure swish. He hit 10 straight, and at another point he was 20 of 21, a 3-point event record. Good on ya, man, but damn was that shocking.<\/p>\n

Larry Bird: 3-Point Contest Wins (1986, 1987, 1988)<\/p>\n

\"\"Larry Bird waves at the crowd gathered Thursday, May 30, 2024, for the grand opening ceremony of the Larry Bird Museum in Terre Haute, Indiana.<\/p>\n

Three NBA MVPs, three Finals MVPs, and three 3-point awards. Ho hum. Not bad for a Hall of Famer who once nicknamed himself: \u201cThe Hick from French Lick (Indiana).\u201d<\/p>\n

Craig Hodges: 3-Point Contest Wins (1990, 1991, 1992)<\/p>\n

Hodges reeled off a trifecta when he was with the Chicago Bulls.ike Bird. Hodges was an absolute assassin on the court. His release was rapid-fire quick, but precise. Don\u2019t let that smile fool you. Teams were afraid of him and rightfully so.<\/p>\n
