[abulkhair77]

@TheZeldaFan100

Yeah, and I believe he didn't even finish 12 th grade(I mean like consecutively, he did finish school with external studies)

[SmooveDoctor]

What college did Earl go to?

[abulkhair77]

@SmooveDoctor

LSU, and then transferred to Kansas, he had a incident which greatly tarnished his career, thus resulted him in not panning out.

[drell29]

who gives a fuck if kobe went on and became a fuckin legen in the nba lol....let lester shine he beat kobe!

[gokawi]

these niggas can fly

[bloodforgodz]

now kibe has 5 nba rings ..and the other guy probably is selling big macs

[8ballsix27]

I like how all the high school kids, up until recently, were really thin.

[SteveBylina]

1:34 is cute

[youdontknowboutLSU]

I played against Lester in high school. He was a monster. He was 6 inches taller than anyone on my team though. Kobe went on to more success and money, but Lester molested kobe in this dunk contest on this day

[hollaratmeh]

lester earl = dominique wilkins jr.

[Veanti64]

Lester Rim Molester

[MrKoopa9]

[abulkhair77]

@Bizmark2007

[MrLewyboy]

song?

[Matthewtron3030]

what's the song title and artist in this video. Yes, I'm too lazy to browse 7 pages of comments to find if someone already answered this

[mtccoach]

why do we have to have the Simple Savage music in these videos?

[samuellog28]

phuckyou, is 5 6, American and could dunk easily. what do you mean white people can't dunk? It's simply about the training folks do to get their particular leg strength to be strong enough to dunk. However for me, I personally used the exercising program over at "50inch vertical [dot] com"

[Afgun90]

last dunk was nutts

[unseensword]

Google Lester Earl and the first images appear is where this guy's career is at right now , while Kobe going for anotha ring LOL!! shows you these competitions are dumb...

[butkowski]

@unseensword kobe got that ring last night boi. ha thats 5 one more until he catches up jordan

[aj822]

@unseensword Lester Earl is just a sad case.. he had bad knees. Not much you can do about that. Give him a break.

[KingMinosxxvi]

@aj822 clearly he blew them out cause he was so godamm viscious i ve never seen anybody dunk with that much zazz. never!

[ben1ben2ben1]

@unseensword No there fun and entertaining!

[Ariannyishot]

@Halirage Kobe is a rapist and looks like a Monkey ape -like ur FAT MOMma

[Ariannyishot]

KOBE GOT HIS ASS KICKED

he's a rapist and a monkey looking Homo

[vegasthedog]

I was there in 96. Yeah, lester got in trouble, had injuries, and just never could produce at the college level. HAIL to PITT.

[Ariannyishot]

@vegasthedog KOBE LIKES FAT COCK IN HIS ASS

[MrThemamba]

now..kobe will eat earl

[claytonrojas335]

phuckyou I am 5 6 and I dunk all the time in official games. I m in my high school's team and my dunking excites everyone (the girls lol). It was truthfully really easy, I just used the special training program over at 50 inch vertical (dot) com - anyone can do it

[JohnnyDaWiz]

1:15 wow Sprite was even sponsoring High school dunk contest back in 96?

[QUdascientist]

Who in the HELL was Lester Earl and where is he? That dude was WICKED with a basketball!

[waynehart1540]

phuckyou son, I gained over 15 ins on my jump by finishing the training system over at (50 inch vertical [dot] com). now being outrebounded is nothing I have to be anxious about in basketball finally, heh

[1969BigT]

Every (black) neigbrohood in the United States has a Lester Earl....It's not about the NBA, or money, fame, or tricking...On that day, it was about a very high level of dunking...A level so high, that one of the best to ever play the game...got 3rd or 4th ? Hat's off to all the dunkers...Lester Earl...bet you smile when you watch that....It's never about ability.....it's much more.....

[hendrixgroupie23]

yea dude thats stupid if u think there was lester earl every were back then.. everything u said was completly dumb...

[zalami128]

Lester is gangster as fuck with the slamming. as a matter of fact, "I wish I would have slacked off on the jumping to preserve my knees," as the 31 year old Earl himself put it. His knees are completely gone, he is now retired. in this video he comes off so similar to Michael Jordan it's crazy....

[mustangGT33]

Never heard of this Lester Earl before, but DAMN those were some sick dunks.

[lvbooth05]

never heard of lester earl???

went to LSU because he was paid so he ended up transferring to Kansas to avoid a penalty. Had knee injury and was never the same

[mustangGT33]

Well yeah if he was just some injured college player who never got going, it'd be tough to remember him.

Thanks for the info though.

[snikes3]

damn all this dunks r sick

[rorodyce]

kobe did soo sit in the finals!!

[Jarocho2003]

That mc all america was loaded!

[DanielDrag15]

[kingnsl14]

kobe didnt need to win this contest he won it in the nba

[pacifront83]

Man too bad Kobe cant get up as much as others, like MJ, Lebron, and Vince. He would be even better then he is now, it doesnt matter tho, hes in the TOP 5 of all time.

[Takawira]

I guess now Kobe be like ''At high school you was the man hommie, the f*cked happened to you?" (lol)

[hapyharold]

can someone tell me the name of this kool track please

[macjaykiwi]

Man, finally a dunk contest where everyone is almost unanamously saying who the winner of that dunk contest was.....lester Earl was a crazy mo fo, that two foot dunk outside of the key was insane.

[Ian7570]

Monster slams by Earl...wow.

[peboguxX]

wow.... this lester earl was a beast!!Damn!!

and kobe was ridiculous in the final round lol....

but anyway, he's the best player in the world!!

[johndaeyun]

[TodaysRapSucks]

[xais0r]

He hasn't played professional basketball since 2003 due to knee problems.

[saltydice5]

i didnt know Tim Thomas could dunk. He is fat.

[lildubuoy]

[cr7caliz1]

any of these guys went pro besides kobe?

[MrPowerhouse]

All went pro except the guy who won it... Lester Earl ... a Sad sad story. :(

[undrgrnd12]

[levianthen]

all besides lester earl

[cursedside]

Lol kobe failed miserably in the final round haha

[jsteeez]

poor lester earl :(

a living testament to the fact that some people's bodies, however gifted, just can't take it for years and years

[youngvblocc]

kobe is 6'6 ????

[TocinFlowPR]

in Hs

[DegenerationXkid101]

yes he is

[SparFromFar]

WHY WAS THIS HELD IN PITTSBURGH????

[ddenuci]

I don't think anyone has taken off BEHIND the free throw line. Many players (Erving, Jordan, Barry) have come close, but no one that I know of has both feet behind the free throw line before going airborne.
