Darrell Armstrong 1996 Dunk Contest

@Phatinium. True

[Phatinium]

Watching this was better than watching the 2012 dunk contest!

[phloophinator]

that's what happens in the wnba...

[Swove2204]

Not sure if this has been explained, but there was a time limit in '96. Armstrong's first dunk came right away and his next two were explosive but missed off the iron. As you can tell, each of his dunks seemed to require a 55 foot running start. At the end of 90 seconds, when it was clear he wouldn't finish three dunks as required, he mis-timed his jump and threw up an "ah, what the hell" shot as time expired. Obviously, that wasn't his plan.

You cut off the best part!

[VansSkaters123]

Why do a layup in a dunk contest? It's like saying why Get drunk and go driving a boat?

[pjetrs]

HE TAKES THE LAYUP! YOU CAN NOT DO A LAYUP IN A DUNK CONTEST!!

-kenny

[lyn18mkw]

LMAO!That nigga probably felt ashamed and embarrased LOL!

[TUBESTEAKNIG]

first dunk was actually pretty nice

[45100DWade]

He wins the Lay-up contest

[MrIamabitch]

Wrong name it should be layup competition

[mariankisiel]

@MrIamabitch read soulestazn's comment bitch.

[cassiemorrisA]

joshlewisatc, yo that is beast. this is directly from someone who s the shortest on his team but do windmill dunks. I checked out the nba training program at (50-inch-vertical[dot]com) and gained past 12 inches on my jump.

[plpfctn2007]

even white people laughed at that "dunk"

[24ayatollahrocknroll]

if that was a layup competition , he should have won

[bothcancp]

was this recorded with a microwave

?

[NBAMadeira]

he can dunk!

[FateFeezy]

THE SUPER LAY UP!!

[dominicansharingan]

i think that lay-up is one of the most creative.

[TheEmericaboy187]

i mean come on now, if you dont know what dunk to do... you at least do a simple 1 handed or 2 handed dunk... you dont fucking layup.

[BallinBroBryce]

@TheEmericaboy187 hes awesome for doin tht

[doobiebrother2]

what u dont see in the video is he had 2 minutes 2 make a dunk and he had missed all his dunks and he shot the ball beating the buzzer with the layup

[vinceentjohn7]

@doobiebrother2 but it's still f*cking stupid to do a layup............he should've just dunked it fast instead of running from so far away just to lay it in

[wallaceX2jc]

that first dunk was pretty sick........i'd say it's better than all the dunks nate robinson attempted, but wat the hell was he doin with the layup!?

[Azzanator6]

layup definetly a 10

[juanburke74]

So my high school teammate joshlewisatc just told me how he started dunking, he s not even as tall as me but jumps over 8 inches taller! What he took the program over at | 50 inch vertical [dot] com | and gained over 16 inches in his vertical jump!

[MrIamabitch]

@juanburke74 grow your dick 50 inches taller.

[lakersallday24x]

i would have scored it 10!

[lakersallday24x]

i would have scored 10!

[trollinnole]

i approve

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

???? He KILLED dunk #1... did he just decide to go home after that or something? Lol!

[wiiarewin]

IM DYING OF LAUGHTER!!!LOLOL

[LosAngelesIzTheBest]

watch "michael finley dunk contest 1997"

[ninjalobsta]

1st dunk was actually nice but 2nd was ROFLMFAO!!!!!

[kingb0501]

he definitely did it on purpose..jus trynna have fun..check tha TRUTH RECORDS VIDEOS ON MY CHANNEL

[gjfwang]

Armstrong bails on the dunk, throws the ball through the hoop anyways and they make fun of him. Dwight Howard does it and he's Superman.

[SPRINGS02]

technically what dwight did is a dunk though because he was high enough to throw it down.

[LEAFBLOWA3]

that grimey

[YaCantJudgeMe]

i think he jumped 2 late or something and made a layup instead of doing nothing..

[soulestazn]

LMFAO instead of 1996 NBA slam dunk competition it's1996 NBA Lay-Up competition

[NickTF2]

@soulestazn how the fuck did this get 61 thumbs up

[SvR5000]

@NickTF2 yeah. stupid comment gets 61 thumbs up

[pokolo3]

so did that lay up count as his dunk or did he have to go again after that? (like a missed dunk)

[alityson95]

he ran out of time as he did it so it was a missed dunk but he had no more time

[BigO2daG]

Kenny always gets me xD

"THE BEST OF ALL" xD

[tanonym5]

i dont get it, it seems like he did it on purpuse, but why??

[ultramantiga320]

that was an accident -.-

[bdnjck14]

omg that wuz funny. lol. wut the heck wuz he thinkin

[1heblackmamba]

[shnchikun]

and that's what you called an entertainment XD

[S0uTh3RnS0uLjA]

miguelin lol.....UR SO FUKIN RITE...even tho there okay sometimes..

[GORARUBEN]

darrel ex play in ourense!

[DegenerationXkid101]

I wonder what the actual commentary was after he took that layup

[lightsabre5511]

i give it a 35

[alvaroceltics]

jajaajaa

[randomevent1994]

his lil ass is not even known as a dunker ow was he in the contest

[downonbarbe]

that fool was BURNT....he couldn't jump a matchbook by that time.

[krieg820]

slam drunk

[miguelin97223]

Big whoop. If Dwight "Superman" Howard did a layup, Kenny "The Jet" Smith would bend over backwards to explain why it's a good dunk. And then David "Honest" Stern would give him First Prize.

[nikko23miguel]

hahaha lol stupid dumbass...!!! fucking layup hahah xD...=D

[2o6GoLdeNgLocK]

darrell cracks me up lol, reverse lay up. haha.. even funnier when kenny smith yells n laughs about it haha

[Woodwind007]

almost reverse lay up dunk contest

[largec]

Maybe he was nervous before the competition, is probably why he didn't put on a good performance, or maybe not(LOL...)

[airjordan081]

ahahahahahahahaha layup in the dunk contest

[stat46]

I saw Darrell's dunks. By the time he attempted that last one he was probably dead tired.

[HellinCell3]

hahahahhhahahhahaha

[manuelaguna]

what a creative "dunk"..LOL

[z4ng3tsu1ch1g0]

2nd "dunk": das a 50!!! das a 50!!

[Daniellzzzman]

[jordanprodigy]

[Obi226]
