Get ready for take-off!

Perhaps no event captures the spirit of the NBA All-Star Weekend quite like the Slam Dunk Contest. For more than a quarter of a century, gifted athletes have raised the bar on the art form known as "the dunk" and then preceded to soar above it. This DVD traces the roots from 1984 to date of what has become the centerpiece of All-Star night. Not only will the founding fathers of flight such as Julius Erving and Dominique Wilkins tell their stories, but also more recent stars such as Vince Carter and Blake Griffin reflect on performances that will never be forgotten.
