    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 😂😂😂

    Darvin Ham had the best first round and didn’t even advance. Ridiculous.

    Darvin Ham's score was criminally bad

    Darvin Ham's dunks were nice. He got screwed. Should have been in the second round.

    The 18 year old boy just gave the best he could and he carried the same style till his last game.

    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! ❤️🙏

    I dunno what makes me feel older. Seeing this live as a kid, or the VHS flicker. 🤣
