Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain
On April 5, 1968, the titans truly lashed as the 76ers’ Wilt Chamberlain and the Boston Celtics’ Bill Russell came face to face high above most of the other players on their already sizeable respective teams. You would struggle to find players (or people in general) much taller than these towering athletes, who stood head and shoulders above the competition in more ways than one. The two players also seem to bear an uncanny familial resemblance!

Michael Jordan
February 6, 1988, at the All-Star Weekend. Michael Jordan embodies his flying nickname ‘Air Jordan’ as he escalates through the air off the free-throw line to seal a flawless 50-point score. Jordan beat Dominique Wilkins at this Slam Dunk Contest final. This thrilling 1988 competition between Wilkins and Jordan has yet to be matched in its quality or popularity. The rivalry between the two NBA legends came to an epic climax during that year’s Slam Dunk Contest.
