The 'NBA Slam Dunk Contest winners' quiz

Happy 27th birthday to Chicago Bulls guard, Anfernee Simons!

Simons is an eight-year NBA veteran who played the first seven years of his career with the Portland Trail Blazers. After three seasons as a role player, Simons established himself as a pro in 2021-22 with a 10 point-per-game improvement in 30 starts and his first of four-consecutive seasons with three three-pointers-per-game. That year he also took home the NBA Slam Dunk Contest title. 

Simons was traded to the Boston Celtics for Jrue Holiday ahead of the 2025-26 season, but was shipped off to Chicago in the Nikola Vucevic deal at the trade deadline. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest champions can you name in 

Good luck!
