1996 McDonalds High School Dunk Contest

[rexloc]

lester earl is a monster i never even herd od dude

[SivRaj1977]

It's too bad Lester got that lesbian pregnant in Louisiana and lost his chance at being a millionaire.

[GeniusSelfproclaimed]

would love to see lester earl vs vince carter in a dunk contest in their primes

[maysa4544]

LESTER EARL HE IS MY BIRTH FATHER he would have been my dad but i got adopted though

[jumpman985]

LESTER EARL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Belburg]

Tim Thomas should have had more intensity, if he did, he would be one of the greatest players of all time.

[kingofmilwaukee]

I've been looking for this for years. Until Vince Carter at the slam dunk contest, Earl was the best slammer I ever saw.

[DrakeDavis24]

@kingofmilwaukee thats my dad lester earl

[gabagris]

corey.. where he is now? i rememeber i used to pick him in my teams in NBA live

[Ninety2q]

@gabagris He plays in Portugal now for one of their top teams.

[gabagris]

@Ninety2q a yeah, i remember - he went to Latvia this season with his team to play against one of LV top teams. LV team won that time

[SIDub14]

@Ninety2q I be seeing Corey Benjamin@this club N Corona all the time... I don't know where you might be from but Corona is a city in the I.E. in Cali... I be wondering why he be there... It's kind of a wack club... lol

[JaiRock24]

Datz my brother itz real n Baton Rouge

[DunkManPR]

im looking everywhere for this video without the music :(

[tkcwu]

kobe never had above average hops even in high school

[dannyyuwu]

don't tell me this high school shit is better than the nba dunk contest this year

[Fin6as]

one of my favorite highschool slam dunk contest ever

I miss Earl. Its a shame his college career wasn't as good as his highschool's.

[GoGetter18]

Fuckin nice dunk contest cant belive i missed that before!

[kunkushun1]

dear lord he deserve to winnnnnnnnnnn hes fuckin seriously killer.

[illman300]

whats the name of the inspectah deck song?

[IndieRock921]

Fontana High School!! Corey Benjamin was a beast at FOHI. I also remember R Jay Sowards, both of them were stars at fohi

[rhythmtmac1]

Where is Lester Earl now ??

[quezzie13]

yo that lester earl dude is sick

[Kestrel222]

wow Earl was so sick.. such a waste he didn't make it big. I remember a piece Slam did on him sometime in '96 bigging him up as the next big thing...

[joellpc]

own kobe.

[kcmostro]

if someone told me i had to choose one player to dunk on and then block a shot to save my life........ i'm riding with les earl.... speed...power...and he jumps of 2 feet...you better learn about the greatest highschool player ever to ball out;;;;

[funkmack]

i remember growing up and hearing about corey benjamin,kobe,lester earl and thought they all would do well in college/nba. Crazy how kobe dominated them later on.tim thomas is a nba scrub

[sbriegs]

earl can still boom! i watch him play at the alumni game

[AbbeyNO]

Earl took a $6,600 payment from an LSU assistant coach, played 11 games for the school, was kicked off the team for violating rules and then ratted out the assistant. Then, after transferring to Kansas, the 6-foot-8 power forward was spotted around Lawrence driving a $35,000 Yukon, sometimes with rap mogul and sports agent Master P.

Even worse, Earl never had to pay back money and never lost eligibility.

[Tristar6]

monster dunk !

[TheRealJohnnyGuns]

Ronnie Fields (The King of Hops) would've dominated this competition if it weren't for that stupid car accident that destroyed his career. Lester Earl let all the hype go to his head plus his knees are that of a 80 year old man now. But damn, could he dunk!!!

[XbuiiX]

Yea, I think Fields would have had a good supporting player kind of career if he got drafted. Instead, nobody drafted him and he went to the CBA instead. He's still pretty good today.

[fulback1]

dude lester earl was the great and still is his son and i play b-ball together and i watched allot of lester earl on youtube his son has lots of hops like him

[Jslimfast]

wats his son's name?

[fulback1]

his sons name is drake

[ciph84]

holy shit earl's intense

[KojimaTatsuya]

kobe bryant as major fail at the start of 1:18

[jayhawks112]

[CoolDryArea]

great contest!

[0pravy0]

Earl had monstrous energy here!

[slynice]

[cripset99]

POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEER! HOLY FUCK

this GUY ducks like howard but is bout 60 lbs lighter

[KojimaTatsuya]

ducks?

[iLuvChocoChips]

wow i cant believe lester earl threw away all that athleticism or least the things he did made it seem dat way..................so many out there wish they could do dat

[spmack5817]

Benjamin got drafted by the Bulls..I used to play with him on NBA Live 01...Tim Thomas is now in his 2nd go-round with the Bulls...

[ballsz43]

He is beast

[JuniorTimes]

the last one was a perfect monster dunk .... whatever happened to him? lester earl

[SGSacaindo916]

yeh he went to school at glen oaks about 5 miles from my house. man the fool was a waste of some of the rawest athletic ability i have ever seen

[immawontonnoodle]

Fontana woot woot. corey was here not to long ago playing an alumni game

[gamethegamethe]

Lester Earl damnnnnnn what power

[starchild112]

Ronnie Fields Was better than all these dudes as far as dunking goes. Look him up on you tube if you dont believe me. Lester Earl was bum in college anyways. He was a waste of a scholarship

[MANGOMAN1999]

Lester was no good in college but in high school he brought down the house every night!

[darthbentley]

When i was a kid i used to watch Corry Benjamin play at FOHI. That team was amazing they had really great players. i got to go to their cif game to, which they kicked ass. anyone know if corry plays anywhere.

[StoicTwo]

EEEH, that was sic eeh yeah.......

-StoicTwo!

[Level7even]

Kobe was like fuck it, I'll just win it in the real league lol, Earl was beast too bad that was all he could do. Looks like Kobe and Tim made it out of this alive being so Corey is that good either.

[Oden4Real52]

hey no disrespect to lester earl he dunks with kenyon martin power but if ronnie fields didn't get in that car wreck he would have owned the dunk contest, dont believe me just search him.

[mastereismaname]

Earl = Desmond Mason & Benjamin = Flight White

[Christmas800]

damn. corey benjamin is like james white

[KevinT22]

not even close

[straightballinf]

the style yea. he has the explosive ness but he doesnt jump as high as him

[lotusblack80]

i was a Lester Earl fan when he went to Kansas....but he ended up being a huge disappointment, what the hell happened???

[liquidgold]

he destroyed his knee's. His game never progressed passed dunking.

[dreadedqb]

the last dunk was with 2 feet!!!!

[TyronakaBallar]

damn Lester seems like a good player, i wish he went to the NBA. i would want him and Amare going at it

[fuckthebeef]

Lester Earl.....kinda reminds of James White. Amazing dunker, but not a complete game. You need a lot more than just athleticism

[KB24BallaZ]

whats the name of this song?

[elenigmo]

Tru Master by Pete Rock feat. Inspectah Deck & Kurupt

[maintayn]

wow who the f is lester

[aj474747]

Lester was suppose to come out of Hogh school with kobe the said he was better than Kobe wihich in Highn school he probably was he was a monster don't get it twisted he messed him self up in college his dumb ass was skippind practice he might work at Wlamart or Sam's

[paperboy215]

how was he better when kobe was ranked no. 1 ?

[uasher16]

hahaha kobe sucked in this contest! but its a good thing he got to dunk really well when he got into the nba.

[IndieRock921]

corey benjamin went to my school...FONTANA HIGH SCHOOL....i used to play with his younger brother...FATS!!

[danipvcity]

Corey benjamin recently played here in Portugal .. And he was a completely shit .. Better than him was gragory stempin performer player of milwake bucks or earl brown and ben reed ..Sorry my bad english

FORZA PORTUGAL

[jaquambodden]

this isnt the first time lester earl and kobe went at it

[ponypower8]

This shows just how far athleticism can take you. That "beast" undoubtedly annihalated Kobe Bryant in that dunk contest. Look how times have changed. Kobe is, arguably, the best 1-on-1 basketball player in the world right now. And what happened to Lester Earl? A couple of forgettable seasons in two big-time NCAA programs. I feel sad for guys who are blessed with all the strenght and athleticism in the world BUT fail to maximize their potential.

[carlok9]

kobe rocks!!! lester is a wannabe lozer

[liquidgold]

Lester Earl wanted to break that rim.

[HolidayMell]

Damn Lester atacks the rim with hate

[fleshgear1234]

i know corey benjamin cause my best friends sister married him he was on the bobcats but then got cut. but hes nice ive seen him play.

[andrewderrin]

corey benjamin only played two years in the nba and then ended up in the d-league

[marbury77]

anyone knows what happened to Lester Earl? I know he went to LSU but did he make it to the NBA?

[MetryKid90]

Lester got LSU put on probation for illegally taking payments and only played for one year (Dale Brown era), and then transferred to KU and Roy Williams.

[sogfredg1]

no, no nba but in these streets ya get hood rich

[adamjames92]

kobe choked

[Soaring23232323]

Lester Earl is sick did you see his last dunk ban that looked like the board was gonna shater

[ax7142]

If Tim Thomas went to the basket more maybe he would be worth the money!

[aKaCantante]

im portuguese... corey benjamin plays in benfica ( portuguesa basket club ) and he looks a very good player ... nice vid :)

[rvd707]

DONT READ THIS!

tomorrow you will find 1 million dollars on the sidewalk if you post this on at least 5 other videos but if you dont you will die in seven days

[sautrnO412]

kobe loses and goes to win the NBA dunk contest next year

[lesterbolen]

Benjamin played for the Bulls for a brief spell. Earl transfered from LSU to Kansas and did...NOTHING. At least he could jump and accept gifts from "friends of the program."

[VIOLETTURKO]

very good

[curlyboyx]

man tim thomas isnt evn like a big man, all he takes r threes

[buenoisgood03]

mann. i never knew tim thomas was any good at dunkin.

[pepepepudo]

Ke amo... He´s the putsish eimouh! ouh mai gudnes!

[ez8o5]

dang this was a sweet dunk contest,kobe,tim thomas, corie benjamin, and lester earl. 4 freak athletes. too bad lester earl had a career of injuries @ kansas

[buenoisgood03]

wat happened to the benjamin kid and did he ever make it to the nba? same wit earl

[anaknimayor007]

Tangina, na-tae ako! Petmalu! I've got wangword for you: LESTEARL!!!!

[hikel31169]

throwing down hard

[GSPfan10]

Funny to see videos I edited on here after all these years. I got more footage of Lester Earl. He was doing those dunks when he was 16.

[yishen1981]

[HUSTLE258]
