No. 7 – Michael Jordan
I could see this dunk a thousand times and not get sick of it. This is one of the most iconic movements that Jordan incorporated into his flashy moments where he suspended in mid-air, tormenting hapless opponents.

Jordan always seemed to show out against the Knicks and this dunk was no exception. This is art. It is a beautiful dunk that even now while writing I cannot stop watching. The most incredible part of this dunk is that it came in MJ’s very first game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Think about that for a second. Very first game in MSG.
It explains a lot about how Jordan had a series of defining moments against the Knicks, particularly in MSG. This was the first shot in a long line of iconic moments at the expense of the Knicks and their fans. At least they didn’t seem to mind it. Listen to the crowd in the audio from this dunk. The place was live. New York was a basketball mecca and as they say, real recognizes real.
This isn’t the only time that the Knicks show up on this list, unfortunately. However, this is a particularly defining moment as the Air Jordan movement was just taking off. Many more poster moments would come afterward, but this was the sending of the message.
