A Trail Blazer has never won the NBA Dunk Contest, but several have participated. Let’s take a moment to look back on the franchise’s history in All-Star weekend’s marquee event.
Clyde Drexler
Clyde the Glide participated in the dunk contest in 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, and 1989. His five showings are more than any other Blazer in the contest’s history. But Clyde never actually won the trophy, giving him the dubious distinction of the most appearances without a championship.
Clyde’s two most memorable moments came in ‘87 and ‘89. The first being this gorgeous photo from the ‘87 contest in Seattle:
And the second is his only appearance in the contest finals, ultimately losing to Kenny “Sky” Walker:
Jerome Kersey
Kersey appeared in the dunk contest for four consecutive years from 1986-89.
