Lol I was told to watch this because it is apparently "the worst dunk contest ever" and it starts out with the cameraman showing the wrong person 😂😂😂
R.i.P Kobe you will be missed
How tf did darvin ham get a 36 🤦🏽♂️
One of the worst dunk contest ever
Darvin Ham had the best first round and didn’t even advance. Ridiculous.
They really underrated Ham's dunk
Isaiah 14:27 - Nothing can stop God's plan for your Life.
Darvin Ham's score was criminally bad
Darvin Ham's dunks were nice. He got screwed. Should have been in the second round.
I remember recording this with my pops vcr for him..hitting pause to cut the commercials out..the good ol days 💯
The 18 year old boy just gave the best he could and he carried the same style till his last game.
Judges teleported to another planet for Ham's set 🚀 🥼
RIP Craig Sager and Kobe Bryant crazy to think both gone. Kobe’s demeanor and that mamba mentality still the same from 18 to after basketball. Love it! Miss you Mamba! ❤️🙏
You gotta love how during this era they were actually trying to take it kinda seriously. Haha
Love seeing the young ray Allen dunking in a slam dunk contest.
Nostalgia brought me here... rest in peace Kobe❤

I dunno what makes me feel older. Seeing this live as a kid, or the VHS flicker. 🤣
"It's hard to see him as a tough guy!" Looking back... they don't come any tougher than KOBE!!
Please Rest In Peace Kobe My Dude You Will Be Missed And You Was Only 41 My Dude. Rest In Peace.
