2. Kenny ‘Sky’ Walker, 1989

From one dunk contest winner to another, Kenny Walker was the first member of the New York Knicks to win it.

Walker was never a big-time player for the Knicks, always being a borderline starter for the team. In fact, during the 1988-89 season, he averaged just 14.7 minutes per game.

But his limited time on the court didn’t contain him as he managed to throw down some insane dunks to bring home the trophy.

Kenny went up against some serious high flyers. The likes of Spud Webb and Clyde Drexler were considered as the favorites for the win, though they did not actually live up to the hype.

Walker’s first two rounds received scores of 91.3 and 96.4 out of 100, making it more than enough for him to reach the final round, where he would attempt and perform some insane dunks.

What most stands out is his second dunk from the final round, where he attempted a 270-degree windmill dunk to light up the crowd and become the first winner in Knicks history.
