I came back after seeing Jaylen Brown's attempt at this😂

[@Mgranadosv]

I did too and got so sad at how bad the Dunk Contest is now.

[@jameelharrigan6041]

And they say the players today are more athletic. I need an asprin

[@perpetualmotion357]

They aren't. Those kids growing up in the 70's and became 80"s and 90"s ballers were a different breed. There were far less distractions back in the day. All your focus was on your craft.

Anyone noticed how easily Dee palms the ball with his left hand. ..👋Long Hands

I think those were one of the most expensive things I ever got as a kid.. over $100, which was a lot at the time. They were pretty comfy at first, but eventually lost the tightness around your foot.

I actually played with Dee Brown in high school on 8 ft. dunk rims & actually got an alley opp from him in a pick up game in jax. He went to JU which was in my neighborhood

That was a real legit no look dunk as well. Others have attempted it since then but they tend to peek last minute,

It’s time for another Brown wearing #7 in green to participate!

[@goriotv2023]

Jaylen Brown aint need any slam dunk contest. He is a far more superior player than Dee Brown.

[@skincarver1797]

Good commentary. Kenny Smith calling all of the dunk contest's for the last 15 annoy's the hell out of me. He's like an over excited 12 year old that's never seen a dunk before.

[@mmabuff101]

Way too emotional . I agree

[@PushinP911]

Yeah someone should replace him at least in dunk contest. He robbed Iggy in 06 his commentary should’ve ended after 00

[@wyattevan270]

deeeee brown !

[@thirtyacres7504]

Imagine doing today's dunks back then. I wonder how the crowd would react to them. He was the tallest-looking 6' 1" player, ever. I always thought he was 6' 4".

[@NBUltra187]

after the garbage that has been put out lately for the dunk contest, i really appreciate dee brown's performance even more.

[@GrandinquisitorIK]

Never was a fan of the no look dunk but man Dee Brown 's dunks so fun to watch

I'm here to compare his Reebok . That shoes were tall, now the current models don't cover the ankle at all.

5:48: If you thought the "dab" was a new thing, you too young, kid.

[@smoothALOE]

That 3rd dunk was not a “Dominique” dunk. That was a “Jordan” dunk. The 2nd dunk was a “Dominique” dunk... I know it’s popular to say that Kemp was robbed, but I disagree.

[@zachthomas6890]

Gotta give it to em

[@vagelisdiamandis7565]

Yeah it was MJ's leaner I think..

[@w900L]

Good observation. The 2nd one was a poor man’s Dominique dunk, as Nique would bring the windmill down to his waist.

[@davelanger]

Even Kemp knew he lost.

[@koasizmworld1927]

Xactly, MJ dunk with that nice lean, actually harder to do then a full windmill like Nique

91 was Kemp’s ! Brown only one cause he pumped his shoes 👠

[@citizenmikeyone]

POUND FOR POUND (especially considering his 'height'), Dee's 1991 SDC triumph should stand alone as the strongest individual SDC display in the history of the event. Yes, even better than Jordan & Wilkins in 1988 and Vince Carter in 2000 🏀

[@raurmanproductions3438]

Kemp was absolutely robbed in this contest. This was the beginning of the no talent "gimmick" dunk.

[@bencritterson640]

That’s not a fair assessment because Kemp is 9 inches taller than Dee Brown. If you didn’t take height into consideration the dunk contest would only be centers.

[@Joseph-lz5er]

Feels weird having white announcers calling the dunk contest lol.

[@nicholaseaster58]

Jaylen Brown disgraced himself doing the last dunk. How pathetic 😂

[@jameswillett118]

Kemp was robbed bro

Boston's present #7 is a far better player than him.
