The slam dunk contest failure had not left Jordan feeling despondent, he thought he had performed well and dunked very satisfyingly.
Losing didn't matter—there was always next year, and he believed he would definitely be able to win the slam dunk contest championship.
In comparison to Jordan, Drexler had a more miserable time; he was eliminated in the first round and didn't even make it to the finals.
Before participating, he was full of confidence, as his jumping ability was even stronger than Jordan's, but he ended the competition with the lowest score among the five participants.

Off the court, Drexler and Magic Johnson got along very well, both being rather playful and fond of having a good time.
