The 'NBA Slam Dunk Contest winners' quiz

Created on May 21, 2025 | Total tries: 190 | Average Score: 23.9 out of 40 (60%) | Quiz FAQ

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin spent the first three seasons of his NBA career as a New York Knick. But for the second straight year, he's playing playoff games in Madison Square Garden in an Indiana Pacers jersey.

Known for his high-flying ability and thunderous dunks coming out of college, Toppin was selected with the eighth-overall pick of the 2020 NBA draft out of Dayton but never averaged more than 17.1 minutes-per-game in a season before being traded for two second-round draft picks after 2023.

Now he's found a role coming off the bench for a cohesive Pacers unit, averaging career-highs in points and rebounds-per-game.

Which brings us to today's quiz. The NBA first held its annual Slam Dunk Contest in 1984, and in that time, there have been 40 winners. How many can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
