@kevinseveneleven seriously its like Bruce Lee. everyone says he was such a great marital artist but there are literally zero videos of him doing any kind of actual REAL fighting. Its the same here, they honestly don't look that good as I'm watching this. Compare it with the videos from the 90's and players are wayyyyyy doper. Just saying. Look for yourself, or don't even reply with a comment.
@BigBearfromthe206 They're playing with more substance than style. It'd take someone who actually knows hoops to see that. What streetball players are you talking about from the 90s that could hang with anyone in this video? These guys all have NBA bodies and their conditioning is on point. Even the guys who weren't pros took the game seriously like it was their profession.
@kevinseveneleven well whatever, the proof is in the fudge. when I watch old videos they aren't nearly as good as today's players. NBA or streetball. I mean, discuss and analyze it all you want, but that's the beauty of sports, just turn on and watch, there's no politics about it. they just don't look that good in comparison. sorry that's just how I feel. Granted there are some really shitty streetballers today that think they're hot shit, but the whole and 1 crew is legit. and NBA is better too
@BigBearfromthe206 So you can't name a single player and you think the guys who play with AND1 could compete with the golden era of Rucker Park. Wow. Like I said, you'd have to actually know something about hoops to appreciate the players. Strip away all the hype and hoopla and lets just look at the players for what they are.
@kevinseveneleven I'm not here to argue dude. The and 1 crew is clearly better and more advanced and pretty much anyone in the NBA . There's nothing more i need to say. Go argue with some other fact nerds.
@BigBearfromthe206 lol that's a good one, you're not here to argue but you're replying within MINUTES just to not really say anything. Ok, I get it. You don't know the names of any of these players that you're vouching for and your whole opinion is based on a subjective and vague concept of how "advanced" the players are. & you keep bringing up the NBA. Why? Who's talking about the NBA, on a streetball vid besides you right now?
@kevinseveneleven lol yur a bitch shutup. why don't you go help somebody or do something positive with your life. arguing over basketball really floating your boat is it?
@BigBearfromthe206 Now you want to compare and give life advice with me? oh but you're not here to argue.... lol you're on youtube all day bruh. I'd like to see a screen cap of your inbox, how many people are you trying to beef with right now? If the betting line is 4.5, my mone is the Over.
@BigBearfromthe206 Really now. That's what you do at 2-3 am on Saturday night, just log into youtube and check through for anyone who might have replied to one of your comments? lol Thanks for the update fatass.
If anyone has any real video of Earl Manigault playing, and especially dunking, I am willing to pay BIG money for it - seriously, email me here if you do.
He had long and strong legs, he would be fibrous even today, many players can make that dunk, starting with the Harlem Globbetrotters, but Earl had a very high vertical leap and he made that dunk spectacular.
NO, not that fake shit from the movie. Read the book & you'll get the real description of the dunk. It was nothing like in the movie & had nothing to do with a guy giving him an elbow.
Manigault performed the 2nd dunk with BOTH hands on the ball & he did not hang on the rim; it was amazing. Kareem Abdul Jabbar & many others witnessed him doing this.
I doubt that anyone has been able to duplicate Manigault, who reputedly had a 52-inch vertical jump, or it would be on YouTube.
@Neil6000 watch tfb and you'll see some 52-inch vertical jumps. I like Earl but it's hard to believe that when you haven't seen it, and it's even harder to believe that when you haven't even seen Earl play.
"it's even harder to believe that when you haven't even seen Earl play"
Kareem Abdul Jabbar played against Earl all the time on the playgrounds and witnessed the double dunk. Jabbar also stated that Earl was the best he ever played against - do you think he's lying?
No, I believe that Earl was a great player, and wish that he would have made it to the NBA. But I think that the legend of the double dunk has become bigger than it really is, that's what usually happens.
So you choose to discount credible eyewitness accounts such as those by Kareem Jabbar and Connie Hawkins, in favor of your own bias which really isn't based on any facts - just your own personal opinion....I think that's called being irrational.
Believe what you want but I think I'll stick with the facts as supported by people that were actually there and watched Earl double dunk.
if the double dunk done in the style that Manigault did it can be done by so many other players then why don't they?
Why aren't there videos on YouTube of players double dunking? Why hasn't anyone in the NBA dunk contest ever duplicated it? Every year they try to think of flashy dunks to add to this contest - and yet no one has even attempted that dunk.
No videos, no dunk contests, don't you think that's strange? Obviously no one has duplicated that dunk
Well then why didn't Manigault dunk from the free throw line? He should have been able if he had a 52 inch vert. Don't get me wrong, I like The Goat very much, but I bet that there is a lot of guys who can do that double dunk, it can't be harder than a 720 dunk or a double up.
"why didn't Manigault dunk from the free throw line?"
I read in the book "City Game" that he did.
"I bet that there is a lot of guys who can do that double dunk"
Name even one. Today there would be video of that but nothing has appeared on the Internet yet. I'm still waiting for it & search all the time for a proper double dunk - it doesn't exist out there.
If anyone out there wants world-wide fame then post a video of yourself double-dunking Manigault style on YouTube.
"I would bet all my money on that, that someone like Air up there could do that double dunk"
Then why don't they??? Since the double dunk is arguably the most famous dunk in the world that NONE OF US HAVE EVER SEEN ANYONE DO, it would make sense that one of these dunk specialists would do it and post it on YouTube.
It's very simple to prove me wrong - find the video of someone doing a Manigault style dunk & post it on YouTube.
is that james worthy in that red number 20 jersey?

@Neil6000 I would bet all my money on that, that someone like Air up there could do that double dunk, a 720 or 360 between the legs is much harder.
