A Forgotten Great Moment in Slam Dunk Contest History

[Carolina Slim]

A never forgotten moment:

I remember this dunk contest so well, especially being a UNC stan. My brother in law was not up on college hoops and he was like "yo, what's up with this dude Vince Carter everyone talking about? He nice? " This was when they brought the contest BACK, especially for Vince. And I had been watching Vince yam on n1ggas for three years in Chapel Hill (Him and Easy Ed Cota on the break... ...) So I just told my brother in law, "watch, while you still on the phone with me...." I heard dude going nuts over the phone while I was just sitting there like

I still don't understand how Ed Cota never made the NBA but Mateen Cleaves was on several teams.

I was watching this video thinking, "Why did someone post this? These dunks aren't impressive at all"

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

these videos just prove that the dunk contest has ALWAYS sucked...every now and then you just get a creative dude like vince, j rich etc....but overall, these shyts has always been lame as fukk

@ that stock video game music they used to play in the background during the old dunk contests

Allan Houston's electrifying performance in 1994:



The players' reactions say it all.

This thread reminded me that the first player to pull off a reverse 360 in the dunk contest was Chris Carr.



But, dude had no grace at all, so no one even noticed or cared.

I still don't understand how Ed Cota never made the NBA but Mateen Cleaves was on several teams.

he came at the wrong time...he came at the time when ai was hot and everyone wanted a scoring pg....and he didn't show scoring until his last year at unc...plus, cleaves was bigger/more body than cota...
