Spud Webb, Atlanta, on Feb. 3, 1986
At 5-foot-7 and 135 pounds, Webb was one of the smallest men to play in the NBA. Lightning fast and a slick shooter and passer, he defied the odds by playing 12 years in a world of giants.
In the 1986 NBA dunk contest in Dallas. The pint-sized Texan stunned the crowd at Reunion Arena, defeating defending champion and Atlanta Hawks teammate Dominique Wilkins by scoring two perfect 50s in the final round. Webb had to jump nearly all of his height just to slam on the ten foot tall basket.
