The 1976 ABA All-Star Game Dunk Contest

(Boulder-CO) I mentioned before that Artis Gilmore was a participant in the very first dunk contest held at McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado. The other four participants were Julius Erving of the New York Nets, Larry "Special K" Kenon and George "The Ice Man" Gervin of the San Antonio Spurs, and Denver's own David "Skywalker" Thompson. I won't spoil the fun with how the contest plays out, but here it is in its entirety in two separate videos courtesy of www.youtube.com. Enjoy basketball history, hoop fans!
