But perhaps the most impressive dunk of the night came on Nance\u2019s final attempt as he double-tapped the ball off the backboard before finishing high above the rim, earning him a perfect score.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Donovan Mitchell would prevail and take home the trophy after throwing down a dunk that paid tribute to one of Vince Carter\u2019s many iconic dunks.<\/p>\n<p>After the competition, Nance Jr. joked that Julius Erving, acting as a judge against a Nance this time around, exacted revenge on him in the scoring stemming from his loss in 1984.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. J held back,&#8221; Nance Jr. said. &#8220;He did not want to see another Larry Nance win a dunk contest.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67301\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67301\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-67301\" src=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/Larry-Nance.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/Larry-Nance.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/02\/Larry-Nance-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Larry Nance Jr. jokes with reporters after the dunk contest about Julius Erving acting as a judge for the competition and potentially reducing his scores as a revenge tactic.

(Connor Yahn\/MEDILL)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s performance in the Staples Center didn\u2019t end with the result Nance Jr. was hoping for, but he made history just by participating. Nance Jr. and his father Larry Nance Sr. are the first father-son duo to ever compete in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.<\/p>\n<p>At his media availability on Saturday afternoon, Nance Jr. said, \u201cObviously it would mean so much more if I got to hold the trophy above my head the same way my dad did. [But] being in it has never been done before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nance Jr. said his father inspired his devotion to basketball more than any other player he has ever watched and that he has always wanted to be like the former three-time All-Star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Larry Nance Jr. I\u2019m very proud of that, so I wanted to be like my dad every step of the way and now I\u2019m here at the NBA Dunk Contest,\u201d Nance Jr. said. \u201cWhat were the odds of that? It\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nance Jr.\u2019s career has followed quite a similar path to his father\u2019s. Both made it to the NBA. Each of them was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers as a part of mid-season deals, and both have competed in the Slam Dunk Contest.<\/p>\n<p>While he didn\u2019t hoist the trophy at the end of the competition, the former Los Angeles Laker put on a show in front of his old home crowd. Since he is only nine days removed from being shipped out of Los Angeles, Nance Jr. said he felt right at home in the Staples Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt like [the fans] were in my corner tonight,\u201d Nance Jr. said. \u201cI\u2019m still a little bit of purple and gold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saturday night was clearly one the Nances will never forget, one Nance Jr. said he had dreamed of his entire life while being raised by an NBA father.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was obviously a big moment for my family, something I\u2019ll cherish forever,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: The 2018 Verizon Slam Dunk Contest was held at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday night.<br \/>\n (Connor Yahn\/MEDILL)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Connor Yahn Medill Reports LOS ANGELES \u2013 Larry Nance Jr. failed to win the NBA Slam Dunk contest like his father did 34 years prior, but that doesn\u2019t mean Saturday night wasn\u2019t special for the Nance family.
