The Orlando Magic have benefited from having unique talent in their history. That includes some of the best dunkers in league history and plenty of Dunk Contest participants.

While all NBA fans love 3-pointers, there is nothing more exciting than seeing a dunk.

One dunk could change the whole momentum of a game and get the fans electrified. It can intimidate or humiliate.

The Orlando Magic have had some amazing players in their history that were able to throw down some vicious dunks. Both in game and at All-Star Weekend.

The NBA Slam Dunk competition has always been one of the biggest events during All-Star weekend. Some, not all of the best dunkers in the Magic’s history have participated in the competition. And the Magic have made their impact.

Even though Aaron Gordon struggled in his performance this year in New Orleans, his performance last year in Toronto was one of the all-time great dunk contest performances. Current Magic high flyer, and former Slam Dunk Champion, Terrence Ross said it easily would have defeated him when he won the crown.

From Dwight Howard‘s Superman Dunk to Otis Smith and Nick Anderson‘s high-flying ways in the early1990s to Shaquille O’Neal‘s power and Tracy McGrady‘s grace, the Magic have had some top-tier dunkers throughout their franchise history. These players have showcased their dunking abilities in a variety of ways.

Here are some of the best high flyers in Magic history.
