NBA great Spud Webb is the pride of Wilmer Hutchins High School and tonight at halftime, during the WIlmer Hutchins vs. Lincoln High School, his Jersey will be retired. Currently the President of Basketball Operations for the Texas Legends, on the court Webb is probably most remembered for winning the 1986 Slam Dunk Contest, defeating teammate Dominique Wilkins of the Atlanta Hawks; during the All Star weekend that was held in Dallas. Today, he still holds the title as the dunk contest’s shortest winner at 5’7″. He’s also still well-loved and admired for his philanthropy, commitment to youth and support of his community/school.
