Desmond Mason between the legs

This is one of the most underrated dunks in the Slam Dunk Contest from the NBA. One of the most forgotten dunks. This was the first of 2 dunks from the final of 2003, between Desmond Mason and Jason Richardson. It was a great final. This one shows Desmond Mason doing a between the legs, with the left hand. After this, J-Rich would do a alley-oop double pump reverse. D-Mason would come back with a 2-handed windmill. Jason Richardson needed a 49 to win it. As we all know, he did the alley-oop, between the legs from the baseline, probably the best dunk in SDC history. But y'all gotta remember, this one belongs in the top 10 too. Desmond, we miss your dunks, hope you'll be healthy all of next season.

is it so good because he dunks it from that far?

or just cuz its a between the legs?

[woutakasinistra]

Both, and remember he dunked with his left hand, but he is right-handed. And look how high he jumped. He could dunks look spectacular, for example a 2-handed windmill, it looks natural, finesse, he was just spectacular.

"WE NEED TO GET HIM A GET WELL CARD..." Ha Ha love Kenny Smith

[woutakasinistra]

Yeah Kenny Smith is so funny, I love TNT Inside the NBA where he is right now. Last time, Mike Bibby demonstrated the pick-and-roll. Chris Webber set the pick. As Kenny said: "So, we've got maybe the best shooting point guard, the best passing big man (Bibby and Webber), and we've got Charles (Barkley), a bad defender. Haha so funny

[Pensivechi]

LOL at Dominique! Looking scared and shit!

you know damn well backstage the guys was like "MJ vs nique again!"

Demond = jordan

J-rich = nique

see how happy jordan is after this dunk? he thinking: "Hell yeah I would've done that, had basketball evolved creatively...I could've done that"

@liljuve13

nah, it's not the same.........

Desmond shows you the ball in the air before he goes up with it and moves it completely around in a windmill motion.

J-rich usually grabs the ball near his mid-section and doesn't have the same ball movement.

[liljuve13]

@woutakasinistra Yea i know, im not even talking shit, im saying he should of won the 2004 dunk contest, he pretty much won it with the off the glass between the legs, which nobody in the NBA has never done and will never do ever again, And he was so close to completing a 360 between the legs,

[ShadowNightGamer]

It's underrated because a year or two before, VC did it although Mason had a higher vert on his.
