The Atlanta Hawks haven’t been the same since Nique left…but I digress! In light of this weekends NBA AllStar festivities, I thought I’d give you youngstas a lil history lesson… This slam dunk contest was held in Chicago back in 1988 and featured two star players…Michael Jordan (23) of the Chicago Bulls and Dominique Wilkins (21) of the Atlanta Hawks. MJ took the prize but Nique gave him a run for it!

Pure entertainment! I love it!! Check out those itty bitty shorts and Nique’s high top fade…oh, and let’s not forget that Mike did have hair once upon a time…

…and in case you missed Dwight Howard’s Superman dunk last night, check it out after the jump.
