Tomorrow morning, Jumpman23 will post the best five shots and whoever receives the most retweets will take the crown. In the meantime, Complex hooks you up with our favorite shots from the contest. Click through our gallery to see what’s good and make sure you check back with Jumpman23 to see if your favorite made the top five.

Complex says: We see the homie in a pair of Bordeauxs (not True Blues?) catchin' some air like Mike.

@CAIC1
Complex says: Even though he might be a few inches feet short of the rim, our man Cal replicates the Jumpman pose nicely.

Complex says: When you win the Finals MVP three straight years you can literally take the ball and go home. Extra points for having the locker room hat.

@jpaolantonio23
Complex says: Even though we don't see Ehlo in the shot, we know what when John is going for here — dope Jumpman logo on the driveway court, too.

@LebaneseRomeo
Complex says: Anthony cuffs the rock on his way to the rim like we've seen His Airness do so many times, including a few of those dunk contests.

@M1KE428
Complex says: Mike takes off from the free throw line and attemps to take it all the way in his Cool Grey XIs.

@mpthejetsetter
Complex says: Miguel might not be able to get the same kind of hang time as Jordan — no shame in just busting out the Jumpman logo on the court.

@OneArmKid
Complex says: Salute to Richard for showing an immense amount of heart like Jordan hoopin' with a solid fade-back jumper even with only one arm.

@SJKirby5
Complex says: Sean submits a dope shot taking off from the free throw line and leaning in for the kill. Look at the hang time! Look at the flying motion!

@therealgavinm23
Complex says: Gavin hits us with the facial and a little tongue waggin' at the rim — double pause.

@__DreamWeaver_
Complex says: Another iconic shot from Jordan's dunk contest history, Taylor even gets about even with the rim. What you have that set at, homie?
15
@bleekOne00
Complex says: One of the sickest action shots of the gallery, we have a feeling this dude is really putting it down on 10.
16
@JBreak23
Complex says: Retro Is and the rookie Jordan jersey — that's a good look. Where's the gold chains, though?
17
@jfin902
Complex says: The Jordan "Wings" shot was one of the illest panoramic shots — this was a must-have poster for about anyone in the early '90s.

@MTWILKS23
Complex says: Another Jordan "Wings" shot — but you have the ball in the wrong hand, bro.

@FDub23
Complex says: Frankie Williams posts up on the competition with the tongue out and some new JB love rockin' the Melo Oak Hill jersey.

@phase2x
Complex says: Jermaine submits his shots reminiscent to Jordan's rookie year pose with his Is hanging over his shoulder.

@tfcbluedevil36
Complex says: This kid gets some legit air in some Jordan VIIs taking off from the free throw line trying to rock the rim (although those legs are straight Clyde the Glide).

@RoyGen
Complex says: Michael gets his son started early — hittin' the fadeaway on his Little Tikes setup.
