Hook used to sleep under Gary Paytons bed in oakland when they were young. Kidd said he is by far the best player to come out of the bay area, including himself and GP
Blake jumped over the side of the hood so KIA could get their commercial. Griffin better be careful. Looking cool doesn't get you wins or rings. T-mac and Lebronze are with me right now, they agree.
its a grreat dunk for a 5'9 guy.. sure nate robinson could come close to pulling that off... but it just doesnt have the sam stage, pageantry, hype and flair that blake had. blake looked a lot better dunking than this dude does. the height is about the same.. its more amazing for a 5'9 guy to do it but it looks a lot better with blake doing it!
@reg12269 Does the fact Hook did it on concrete not a gym floor with spring in it make a difference? Think about it. I'm from Oakland and even though I never saw him play. I did hear about him from people and if Kidd & GP say he was better I believe it. They know how great they are , GP has a HUGE EGO and wouldn't just bs that Hook was better if it wasn't true. GP usually would say he's the best ever.
Any one else watch the Blake Griffin dunk for the championship over a car& think whats the big deal? Except that if Griffin got hurt a whole team would go down hill. If The Hook got hurt he'd just be hurt.
@draper12 The height of a mustang convertible with the windows fully up is definitely higher than the hood of the Kia. Plus Hook was not even 6 feet tall
This might be easier than Blake's because the automobile is a convertible. The height of the car is almost certainly lower than the Kia Griffin jumped.
There is a difference between running and jumping and running, planting your feet then jumping. This dude planted his feet first then went up now you know he got hops.
Don't shed too many tears. Ask what about the people he violated when he held up the Video store or the people's apartment he ran through trying to run from what he did. Lucky he didn't get shot in that move cause if they weren't out of it and were up all this would've been used in a eulogy.
Man I had a few homies but one I jjust can't forget Willie Crowder we were at Marion Franklin Center in Columbus, OHIO and he threw the ball from half court hit the backboard and fan jumped from the half dotteds and SLAMMED IT STRAIGHT UP that was in about 80...wish I had it on tape......
this guy was dunking like this before jumpsoles were invented. this is just natural talent. I can dunk, but i have to admit that i can dunk because of jumpsole training. There was none of that shit back then. Know ur roots, and don't be disrespectful.
Demetrius "Hook" Mitchell, also known as Waliy Abdur Rahim (born September 11, 1968 in Oakland, California) is a former streetball player. He is considered by several NBA All-Stars to be the greatest player to never reach the NBA. He attended McClymonds High School in West Oakland.
on the other hand their height doesn't really matter since we're talking vertical and not how high they reach.. just sayin

This dunk is better than Griffins because he actually cleared the car, he didn't just dunk and land on top of it
