It looked ridiculous then as a 12-year old and is still somewhat awe-inspiring. That dunk is one of the “unstoppable” moves in the old Sega Genesis game, “Lakers Vs Celtics”.

But the Youtubes say differently. That dunk is, indeed, "sick." Tom Chambers is exceptionally white, which definitely works against him in said discussions.
