Michael Jordan Dunk Contest '88 Rigged? ESPN Analyst Bill Simmons Claims Outcome Was Fixed [VIDEO]

Michael Jordan's legend is probably safe even if his Slam Dunk Contest victory in '88 was rigged. He won six NBA Titles in eight years with the Chicago Bulls and so many individual accolades and awards it's almost comical. One of the pillars of his legend, though, was his back-to-back Slam Dunk victories against Dominique Wilkins. But ESPN analyst Bill Simmons claims that the outcome was fixed. The time-honored contest is usually the most interesting part of the All-Star Game festivities, but does the possibility that Michael Jordan's win in '88 was tainted diminish his role in NBA history, or make the contest any less entertaining?
