Spud Webb
He won the 1986 NBA Slam Dunk Contest; He played in the NBA for 12 years
Webb is perhaps best known for his victory in the 1986 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, where he shocked the basketball world by out-dunking much taller competitors. His performance in the contest remains one of the most iconic moments in NBA history, as Webb's 5'6" frame soared above the rim with ease. This achievement not only solidified his place in basketball lore but also inspired countless young athletes who were told they were "too small" to succeed in the sport. Webb's dunk contest win is still celebrated as a testament to his athleticism and determination.
Throughout his NBA career, Webb played for four different teams, including the Atlanta Hawks and the Sacramento Kings. He also had stints in the United States Basketball League, the Continental Basketball Association, and even played professionally in Italy. While he may not have been a perennial All-Star, Webb's contributions to the game were undeniable, and his ability to compete at the highest level for over a decade is a testament to his skill and work ethic. His career averages of 9.9 points and 5.3 assists per game reflect his consistent playmaking ability.
Since retiring from professional basketball, Webb has continued to contribute to the sport in various capacities. In 2010, he became the president of basketball operations for the Texas Legends, the NBA G League affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks. In this role, Webb has helped develop young talent and provided leadership to the organization. His post-playing career has further cemented his legacy as a respected figure in the basketball community.
