NBA Slam dunk Contest 1997

[CakesBerry]

240p we meet again

[badpdx]

Well, it wasn't exactly Dominique, Clyde and Spud Webb Kobe was beating.

[daveberg69]

Sorry, I know this is going to cause a shit storm...but look at how crap Kobe's hops are....the guy can't even get his head near the rim, his vertical is pretty lame. Good job the kid has a long wingspan

[WhatTehFcuk]

@daveberg69 that's what makes kobe great. He isn't crazy athletic like MJ or Lebron but he more than makes up for it in IQ and skills.

[TR0LLAL0T]

@WhatTehFcuk Dont ever put MJ's name in the same sentence as that one dude Lebron...

[SheetyWawk]

@TR0LLAL0T "Michael Jordan is better than lebron.", hmm nothing looks wrong to me =/

[retrotw]

@TR0LLAL0T u just put them in the same sentence....

[thekobez2417]

@TR0LLAL0T MJ own's Lebron-there I did it

[loss7y]

ill shit on who ever made this !

[jcrox1998]

[CrowCroud]

Simon Cowell:this song is really rubbish

[XvIMcKeoNIvX44]

did you guys know that "i'll shit on you", oh probably not everyone muted it

[ballerfications]

nice dunking from the black mamba, however the music absolutely sucks!

[TheJamzxy]

[TheJamzxy]

[MVIOOS5]

[allu4me]

@DONMarceloTorres2310 wth why do you post this?

[paologizzle]

[qkp123]

[itssub89]

2:47 that was Kobe's ex girlfriend .

[itssub89]

2:37 that was Kobe's ex girlfriend .

[mrsmackahoee]

even if finley made that dunk, his ugly cartwheel would of gave him a horrible score

[Styme2002]

@mrsmackahoee haw haw!

[MrDrESner]

it took me 1 minute before muting

[CThunderofLB]

LMAO. KG was raw even back in the nineties.

[etayn100]

I'LL SHIT ON YOU!!!!!

[3rudymora]

micheal finley's dunk attempt at 3:13 was down right the stupidest attempt ever lol

[710Ehm]

- DUH !

[computernerd4991]

These are average game dunks nowadays.

[ShadowNightGamer]

@computernerd4991 Most are but, Kobe getting his Between the Legs first try is better than most people nowadays taking 2-4 trys.

[MrKinster18]

@PutYouOnGame40 d12 had eminem in it so u need to go home and listen to ur mothers queef

[lawlessvictory]

the song is aight nah wait it sucks

[bossb510]

KOBE & BRANDY WERE N THE HOUSE!!!!!!!

[peplajso]

this dunk contest is kinda funny when you compare it to the '11 or '09 & '08

[poet907]

bob sura? haha

[nystagmus]

darvin ham was the best dunker out of that group.

[twista200317]

i think he won just like why Blake Griffin won 2011 dunk contest, people liked him for him not cuz the dunk contest which wasnt fair, i believe 100% McGee should of won the 2011 he was so unique

[legodude11]

@twista200317 I agree with you, the Finals should've been McGee vs Derozan and one of them deserved the title, not a guy who can jump over the hood of a car.

[twista200317]

@legodude11 yeah forrealz even the reporters said so, they said it was all pre planned for griffin to win. because of what happened to his best friend and being good. he should of jumped over the middle i think he could of

[defnyung]

haha, I can't believe Ray Allen participated in this contest. 

[PaulJuliusSokoloff]

Kobe at 4:04 is the reason why you don't allow kids into the NBA without going through college first.

He was the first guy to ever root against his opponent in the history of the contest (like he was doing here, and was chastised by the commentators).

He never grew up properly with all the fame and took over 10 years to begin to learn how to be a team leader and also listen to the coach a little.

[DRose1101]

@PaulJuliusSokoloff hey u stupid dumb idiot ur the ass, he was doin that because the other guy couldnt finish with 2 balls u stupid head

[PaulJuliusSokoloff]

@DRose1101 You have no idea what you are talking about. Reply with stupidity marks you as dumb.  CHERYL MILLER EVEN CHASTISED HIM ON NATAIONAL TV THE MOMENT AFTER HE DID IT - I WATCHED THAT GAME, WHICH YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T MORON.

[DRose1101]

@PaulJuliusSokoloff im not ur bitch man dont talk to me dumb ass

[PaulJuliusSokoloff]

@DRose1101 You reply to my post and then you say don't reply to yours. You are my bitch. I will teach you anything you need to know about ball. Reply again, and your teacher is here ready to respond- anytime man.

[st3nkobe]

@PaulJuliusSokoloff He is the ultimate competitor dumb ass. There is nothing wrong with showing you want to win the dunk contest. Who the fuck says a person is suppose to root for the opponent. It's funny all the shit you talk about him is exactly why he is as great as he is. Orr would he have won 10 rings by now if he wasn't such a dumb ass?? Lol

[MrJaKb24]

Was thi very first between the legs dunk in dunk contest?

[thunderthumbs83]

@MrJaKb24 nah, it was done by Isaiah Rider in '94 I think, and his dunk was wayyyyy more crisp than kobe's one. Still to this day, i wonder how kobe won this comp when there were better dunks than his on the day. Ps, on not hatin' on kobe either. ;)

[MrJaKb24]

@thunderthumbs83 im kobe fan by all definitions, but yeah it wouldn't be much argument if someone else won. But its like with blake griffin on 2011. i guess its about fans and not dunks sometimes. i think tho kobe could prove more.

[kb24db24]

I couldn't get through 2 minutes before I had to mute

[PRzGreat1]

0:53 its Marlon Wayans =D

[SuperMhouston]

@PRzGreat1 hahaha i noticed that too

[SmirNuT]

annoying song

[subvandals]

@SmirNuT I's Eminem, he's annoying in general.

[DRose1101]

@SmirNuT

[tkseeram]

@SmirNuT thats d12 niqqa

[mao12345]

@SmirNuT Rap song lyrics quality have really degenerated over the last decade. "It went from Misplaced hate makes disgrace for races we under." to "I'll sh** on you" X20. It's so easy to create rap lyrics; all you have to do is randomly disperse the words ho, b*tch, "grillz", "rimz", money, f**k, sex among arbitrary predicates (Add "n*gga" for hard hardcore-ness).

[sportsfan8107]

Bryant is an awesome dunker but there was really nothing special about any of his dunks in this contest. The between the legs had been done already by this point, too (by Rider in 94). But then again, we all know that just about all of Kobe's moves have been done before...mostly by MJ, of course.

[benjamin8203]

The one thing i hate about the video is the music.

[XLSaga]

Michael Finely had an A for effort for that contest, too bad he didn't have Vince Carter's athleticism lawl

[brenton547]

First a wpould like to point out that Kobe is the best basketball player alive and 2nd whats up with the music its worse then justin bieber

[chiongki06]

3:13-3:36 OWNED!! lol

[TheTexasTaco]

why does kobe think hes mj by not taking off his warmup cloths, hes a fag now and he was a fag back then too

[MegaSir100]

KOBES A BEAST WOOOHOOOOOO

[MegaSir100]

KObes a BEAST!WOOOOOOOOHOOOOO



[KingsofComedy]

Congrats Kobe on being the Nestle dunk champ

[liltwiss1]

wait, a guy named Ham was on the Nuggets team? lmao

[jj23ti]

this contest was pretty lame.

[Justjt777]

was that shannon brown? lmao 0:34

[KingsofComedy]

@Justjt777 NO lol he was like in the 5th grade in 97.

[DatzMoviez]

That Darvin Ham backboard dunk is the most underrated dunk in contest history. Im still blown away from that close up slo-mo

[AnkleBreakinBalla]

@gstar687 yep lol damn i didnt kno my comment has one of the highest ratings lol but yeah da cart wheel was hilarious

[YiDog21]

bob sura? ray allen? wtf?

[omarmejia70]

kobe only won cause of popularity

[MrCed07]

@omarmejia70 When you say popularity , u realize that he was only 17 or 18 years old there . and he actually had good dunks ! like the last one he did ( the between the leg )

[MantisAtlantis]

Lol at the cartwheel ... what was he thinking?

[ggr1mr3ap3r]

Everyone is definitely going to hate me, but i don't care and i'll say it anyway: Based on the dunks i saw, Kobe totally didn't deserve to win!

[MrCed07]

@ggr1mr3ap3r retard ! Why are you even commenting on this ? Haters ! Pfff kobe is the best , and he still be the best ever ! ok ? RETARD !

[ggr1mr3ap3r]

@MrCed07 Im commenting cause i have an opinion and if you cant face reality gtfo fucking fanboy go suck kobe s dick! I didnt say anything about his skills he just didnt deserve to win with the dunks he did _)_

[TheFeb51994]

Ya people keep talking i bet u cant even touch the rim u piece of shit

[1337EricOMG]

kid at 2:09 looks like andre iguodala lol

[z308e]

kobe should've did the dunk contest either in 03-04 or 04-05.. that was when he was most athletic.. he was only what 19 in this dunk contest? he wasnt fully developed

[GRiMxSG]

only eminem parts were good. old eminem>now

[dominique888888]

shit on you ~ D12

[LebronMVP4LIFE]

kobe > lebron

[krazzyyo2]

kobe is the best ever

[ericnoter1k]

the song was good but these dunks were garbage except kobe's between the leg was coo

[Xcoming2]

i honestly feel that Carr did so much better than kobe.

Carr had that elevation almost close to carters

[demoncleaner45]

Darvin Ham was robbed

[dannz03]

finley is great, but always a joke.

[abdulr118]

video quality improves upon muting or pathetic music.

[jessciaalba]

@abdulr118 i shit on you bro..lol

[royalfrenchfrie24]

Who's that Kobe Bryant kid

[SnowMaN2612]

@royalfrenchfrie24 a 5 time nba champion lol

[911firestone1]

did i seemarlon wayans

[persaudharriram]

Damn!!! Kobe looked soo young.

[calixa]

CLUE SHIT! NEW SHIT!

[teamphat]

Please upload the video without the annoying music

[Howie0513]

so Kobe did the between the legs dunk after Jordan did it

[Kobe24TheGod]

thumbs up if you think that this slam dunk contest is better than Vince carter's in 2000!!!

[d2flyyy]

@Kobe24TheGod BS.

[TheConor333]

@Kobe24TheGod This comps got nothing on the 2000 dunk contest, some of stackhouses dunks were better then these

[Kobe24TheGod]

@TheConor333

vince carter,t-mac,steve francis and jerry stackhouse are overrated and they are not worth to be compared to Kobe.don't forget,vince copied kobe's move (between the leg) during 2000.and also,where is your championship ring?

[TheConor333]

@Kobe24TheGod Im not saying that their better then Kobe, hes clearly far better then any of them but the dunk contest he was in was a joke compared to whatt VC was doing in 2000

[TheConor333]

@Kobe24TheGod im talking about dunks, i never compared them as players and t-mac in orlando before injuries is better then anyone in todays league

[hellocrazy1]

@TheConor333 the truth is right there what he said

[jew123jew]

@Kobe24TheGod get off kobes dick ffs.

[BasketballStud99]

what a weak dunk contest.

[sahrsolar]

kobe would not have won that if finley didnt fail

[TheFeb51994]

@sahrsolar thats why it takes skill not to miss a dunk and thats what Kobe did

[Sportsgamer92]

3:15 Epic Fail...

[cespin3823]

weakest dunk contest ever.. half of Carters 2000 competition couldve easily beat kobe.. especially T-mac and Francis

[Sportsgamer92]

@cespin3823, the weakest dunk contest was the one in 2010.

[atdawnwewagedwar]

@Halirage his name is andre'. dumb ass

[Jackie87796]

vincecarter0615, this video reminds me of why I watch basketball, along with all the ankle breakers. If you can't dunk yet, you need to start training. I highly recommend you to try the program I'm using - | 50 inch vertical [dot] com | - I m 5 7 and I can dunk!

[soccerboi1996]

why would you choose the worst D12 song?

[92890javier]

The summary of Ray Allen's career: Kobe shitted on him all the time.

[ceezybaby]

@92890javier hmmmm no..

[MrNclaw]

wow theres so many guys on dunk contest pages posting ads for vertical jump program and they they all say the EXACT same thing WORD FOR WORD. such a shameless scam.

[Harvey538]

vincecarter0615 son, I gained past 15 ins on my leap by completing the workout at "50inch vertical (dot) com". now being being the shortest kid on court is nothing I have to be anxious about in basketball now, haha

[ImmortalHardOn]

[lawlessvictory]

[RanKarat]

kobe is one of the less skilled dunkers. he jump so low, but he have guts to come to this contest with this jump lol.

[DaKidASavage]

Finley Could of Won LOL, He didn't Make his Dunks. Kobe Had Only 1 Good Dunk N That Was The Thru The Leg Dunk.

[KenyasScorpio]

Damn brandy was feeln that between the legs dunk by kobe!

but i dnt blame her!

[Tracywithafacey]

This was a poor dunk contest

[gearsofwar2318]

That between the legs dunk by KB was sick. I wish I could do that shit.

[evaro45]

[mightyPants]

Finley in his youth was a thunderous dunker.. probably less so in this dunk contest though.

[comixx1274]

please remove the music it's irritating

[ben99zona]

wtf is this song

[SkipyOnline]

Kobe @ 2:49 says it all-YOU AINT FUCKING WITH ME

[jaygarr59]

NBA Slam dunk Contest 1997

[hmmsmellslikefish]
