Miami guard Harold Miner set the tone for the 1993 Slam-Dunk Championship with his opening slam, which not only earned the second-highest score of any dunk in the 1993 competition (49.0) but also brought the courtside gallery of NBA stars to its feet. Miner's trademark smile and showmanship made him the crowd favorite, and the judges agreed, giving him the title after he tallied 97.4 points in the finals. Miner, who had already won after two dunks, turned in the highest score of the day with his final jam, which earned 49.4 points.
