🇬🇧BRIT Reacts To THE NBA DUNK CONTEST - EVERY 50 POINT DUNK!

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

2:02 Spud only measures 5'7" tall and is one of the 10 shortest NBA players of all-time, and he can STILL dunk. 7:33 And speaking of Spud, THERE HE IS being dunked over! And Nate Robinson is indeed 5'9"

[@peterhineinlegen4672]

You mentioned that the older ones sound better. The backboard was redesigned after Shaquille O'Neal came into the league because he kept breaking the glass. That might have an effect on the sound.

[@Gabriel-cj9ih]

Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavine are my two favorite dunkers currently playing. Great reaction Kabir!

[@sikksotoo]

I only wish the OP had put them in chronological order, I think it helps with the context.

[@vortexathletic]

2023 and 2024 with Mac McClung was great since this video came out

[@DEBIJOT45]

Spud went to my grandson's university - NC State and Jordan went to my daughter & granddaughter's univ N. Carolina - saw both in action.

[@Sephyrulz]

Basketball is America’s soccer. The sport of the people, the masses, you can find a hoop anywhere in a neighborhood.

[@hifijohn]

If the world's soccer players had any athletic abilities they would be playing basketball.

[@PixelatedH2O]

Jordan's vertical was measured to be around 48 inches, or exactly four feet

[@NolmDirtyDan]

Lavine is 6'6", there are a lot taller guys than him

[@calisthetics]

Yo I swear MJ just floats in the air

[@Montweezy]

N.C. Tarheels on on the first 2 dunks!!!! Let's go University of North Carolina!!!!🐏🐏🐏

[@ronluk76]

Kabir, one of the guys in there, Jason Richardson won the slam dunk contest back to back. We played for the my team, the Golden State Warriors in rhe early 2000s. He wore #23 before Draymond Green did. Andre Iguodala later went to the Warriors and was Finals MVP when we beat the Cavs in 2016. All those Vince Carter dunks were from the 2000 dunk contest which was at the arena in Oakland, where I am from. I was at that dunk contest! It was amazing!!! Ceballos doing the blindfolded dunk he must have already practiced before and known exactly how many steps he needed to take so that he knew exactly where to jump and take off from. Although still not quite sure even with him knowing when to jump home he would know where the hoop and the backboard are!

[@Sandman60077]

Spud Webb was impressive because he is only 5'7" (1.70m)

[@GuitarLegend310]

7:00 the guy that Stoudemire bounced the ball off was Steve Nash, former teammate with the Phoenix Suns and current head coach of the Brooklyn Nets. He's played soccer since he was a kid

[@baronvg]

I don’t know if it’s because he’s so lean and lanky, but Zach Levine’s dunks looks soo damn smooth lol

[@michaelmcgowen8780]

The first slam dunk contest was held 27 Jan 1976 during halftime of the NBA-rival American Basketball Association All Star Game in Denver, Colorado which was won by Julius Erving of the New York Nets over David Thompson of the Denver Nuggets, Artis Gilmore of the Kentucky Colonels, and George Gervin and Larry Kenon of the San Antonio Spurs. The NBA & ABA merged the following off-season before the 1976-77 season. The NBA didn't add a slam dunk contest to their All Star Game until 1984. By the way, slam dunks were legalized in college basketball beginning in the 1975-76 season. Before that, in college and high school, dunking the ball was a technical foul.

[@sikksotoo]

Vince Carter, Zach LaVine, Jason Richardson, and Aaron Gordon were/are all next level

[@mattcampbell334]

He wasn't in this video but if you want to see the nastiest and most disrespectful in game dunker of all time, you should check out Shawn Kemp

[@willardwooten9582]

Grew up watching Nate Robinson at Rainier Beach H.S. and also U of Washington. ONLY 3 TIME WINNER OF DUNK CONTEST in 5'9" Nate. He also was a starting Cornerback on the Football team.

[@warrendavis9262]

Fun fact: Spud Webb was only 5'3"...

[@Montweezy]

Webb is 5'6" Mugsey Bouges was 5'3"

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

@@Montweezy Spud was 5'7"

[@michaeltnk1135]

No, Spud Webb was 5’7. You’re thinking of Muggsy Bogues

[@kaeso101]

My takeaway from this is that Kenny Smith changed the way slam dunks are commentated. If you look at the dunk commentary in the 90s and before they were normal and soft but from 2000 onwards when Kenny came in he added hype to the dunks saying things like "Let's go home ladies and gentlemen" "He's got the flu cause he's sick" "You win young fella" "Ok ok ok ok now you talking" "Yes indeed...yes indeed"

[@Banyo__]

I loved the old school dunks back in the day when the players would shatter the backboard. It was a sight to behold and the crowd would always go insane. Nothing beats that image of these powerful guys with glass raining down all around them and fans losing their minds.

[@mikehunt368]

yeah i’m pissed they use shatter proof rims/backboards nowadays… but i guess safety 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Banyo__]

@Mike Hunt safety ruins everything...but like also saves lives so okay that.

[@awezman]

The Cedric Ceballos Blindfold dunk was pretty easy. It was fairly thin stretchy fabric and it with all the lights he could mostly see through it. If you have ever put a knit cap over your face, even a thick one can partially be seen through. With how thin his blindfold was he most likely could see fine.

[@kennethfrawley]

I must give it to that Spud, bloke. Now, Kabir, you are making me work. I know nothing about those gents, so I must look them up. Happy to do so, yet, I fear you are becoming an American. 'So, well done, dude!'

[@davidthieman8020]

Thank you, Kabir, for the amazing reaction to The NBA Drunk Contest-Every 50 Point Dunk.

[@jermalcromartiepresents5728]

Kabir, You talk about how does Nate Robinson get that much hangtime at 5'9 when Spud Webb(number 4 Hawks jersey) is in the SAME video who is 2 or 3 inches shorter. Spud's dunks are in the same video, he is also the guy Nate dunks over. Both are extremely athletic for their height and Nate played football(for one season) and basketball at the University Of Washington.

[@christophermckinney3924]

'Spud Webb was only 5 ft 6 inches. 50+ inch veritcal leap. He later hugs the guy who is 5'9" after he jumps pover Spud.

[@billyshepherd1876]

No one can beat Michael Jordan he just seems to hang in the air. Amazing to watch

[@cckmanofsteel2393]

except for vince haha

[@blackgerman9735]

💀both Vince Carter and Zach lavine would beat Jordan. You could even add in aaron Gordon just because he is considered the goat by most don't mean yall got to get on ur knees for everything Jordan barely dunked from the free throw line regularly lavine did a windmill from it

[@SiriusV21]

@@blackgerman9735 Nah, out of those you mentioned, only Vince would beat Jordan. The thing that separates Jordan and Carter from Lavine and Gordon was the flair and grace with which they dunked. Jordan’s hang time was just unbelievable. It looked like he was flying. Lavine and Gordon don’t have that style.

[@blackgerman9735]

@@SiriusV21 💀ik you bias if you say lavine don't dunk with hangtime and grace they would wash him . Lavine windmilled from the free throw line you can't do that without hangtime m

[@SiriusV21]

@@blackgerman9735 Not biased. Just my opinion. I like Jordan better than Carter, but I can admit Carter is the better dunker and would beat him.

[@hisownfool1]

Steve Nash is a former soccer player, so it wasn't a bounce to Stoudamire -- it was a header.

[@steveyork8069]

Zach LaVine is 6’5” Spud Webb was listed at 5’7” but a lot of announcers would compare him to their mothers height and say he was closer to 5’5” tall,either way he had an amazing vertical.Early in the video was Dr.J “Julius Erving”was jumping from the foul line actually about a foot shorter but the still called it the foul line did it about ten years before Jordan.They say about 97% of the NBA could still dunk an 11ft rim and at least 80% could do 12ft.Shaq said there was no way he could dunk a 12ft goal.I’ve seen guys pull quarters off the top of the backboard which is 13ft.

[@shermanmi]

Michael Jordan's vertical was 48", I believe

[@aust25]

Zach LaVine is about 6’ 4” lol. Below average for the nba

[@enigmatic_soul9112]

Check best in game dunks. Vince Carter dunks on 7 footer in the Olympics

[@evanshields3997]

Lavine is 6’5” but Spud is only 5’6”. Spud also has the highest vertical in NBA history at 46 inches.

[@matthewtamony5690]

Started with the ABA

[@sharonwilliams8552]

Jordans vertical was apparently 42-48 inches

[@Alex-kd5xc]

Zach LaVine is tall for your average person but he’s certainly not all that tall for an NBA player. He’s maybe 6’6 which is honestly on the smaller side of NBA players. His thinner frame definitely makes him seem taller than he really is.

[@lazerhornet794]

Zach Lavine and Aaron Gordon are two of the best dunkers of the modern area

[@tmgf_2670]

I watch a lot of us sports and these events are fun especially my Knicks and the other dunks are good especially obi Toppin winning this year keep you the great work

[@ZachWilsonsMomsFriend]

Same here, love Obi so much

[@davidnelson5728]

Michael Jordan had a vertical jump of 48".

[@jonwmeyer11]

These are all great dunks, but you should check out Dunk League if you haven't seen it yet. Guys like Jordan Kilganon and Isaiah Rivera and something truly special.

[@joshuabolton3866]

My guy Kabir!! Blessings brother. How are You? Cheers from Los Angeles 💯

[@dstamour625]

Check out Jordan killcanin idk how to spell his last name. That’s some dunks you need to see

[@ogkushnick1121]

Spud Webbs dunks are way more impressive because he was One of the shortest players in NBA history at 5 foot 6. And he is the shortest player to ever dunk. He had a 46 inch vertical leap. Well Michael Jordan's vertical leap was 40 inches in as well as LeBron James is is the same as the Jordans at 40 inches

[@ronharris8669]

Soon, as soccer grows the short guys will be future cbs and wbs and cdm and I hope to see some of them going up for corner kicks

[@TheLegmann]

What do cbs, wbs and cdm stand for?

[@lockaby1]

You need to come visit during a NBA or even a high school game some time i think basket ball player get the best workout more than any game they stay on the move running back and forth the length of the court

[@cjames4478]

The mascot was 7’0 tall

[@DashingO1ne]

Blake Griffin Top 100 dunks

[@hadoken80]

Great reaction video!! 😎🏀 Surprised they did not show the 2011 Blake Griffin dunk over the Kia sedan. Dunk was okay, but the presentation was great. Aaron Gordon also had a good one in 2020 when he dunked over 7'5" Tacko Fall. 😅 Worth checking out if you have time.

[@jimmyrhoades650]

Easily the best dunk in here was Aaron Gordon over the mascot. Also if you stray away from the NBA, there are plenty of “professional dunkers” and dunking events outside of the NBA that are significantly more technical and impressive.

[@Yankeesfan-il2he]

Those were the good old days lol f the dunk contest unfortunately it’s not the same anymore the last good one might have been 2017 but this years was underwhelming but 2016 was the best

[@4theloveoflife]
