Desmond Mason - 2001 NBA Dunk Contest (Champion)

[@VCthaGOATdunker]

Desmond Mason, this guy was fantastic. He made basic dunks look extremely nasty. He had a great rivalry against Jason Richardson in 2002 one of the best.

@@scootahscoot9389 I like the mid 90s green Sonics jerseys from the Kemp/Payton era

[@denizkendirci]

mason's dunking is one of the most aesthetically pleasing in nba. those weren't complicated dunks (especially, in today's standards) but he made them look so powerful and aesthetic.

[@austin78993]

Kenny subliminally calling Carter out. I still can't handle that we never saw a J-Rich vs. Vince Carter contest. I still believe those are the two best NBA dunkers I have ever seen

[@thebigwarthog]

Can't believe this was 20 years ago. I remember like it was yesterday.

[@VCthaGOATdunker]

3:52 most underrated dunk ever. Huge tomahawk off 2 feet from the free throw line.

[@yobro6053]

that's the furthest I have ever seen anyone jump near the free-throw off of two feet.

[@מריאןסאמבאס]

@@yobro6053 jordan kilganon did it that way as well (back foot on the free throw line)

[@douglaspinsak1246]

@@yobro6053 I was thinking the same thing--I've never seen someone jump that far off of two feet.

that 4th dunk is so underrated. look where he took off

[@Rearmostbean]

Loved watching Mason when he was with the Bucks. His in game dunks were just as good as this if not better. Great guy and great memories.

[@X21Chris]

Happy Birthday to Desmond.10-11-77.TX

[@zenmar84]

one of the underwhelming dunk contest,but i like mason back then, one of the smartest player in the nba.

[@VCthaGOATdunker]

With that said, Vince would have won this contest with his eyes closed doing his most basic dunks. 2002 as well. It's 2003 where he would have had huge compeition because Mason and JRich peaked as dunkers in that year.

[@ChrisJProductionz]

Desmond Mason single handedly saved that dunk contest that year, if he wasn’t in it this would’ve been a snooze fest.

[@1234abcd12344]

3:52 never seen anyone dunk by the free-throw line with two legs, the f they smoking? that's a 10

[@מריאןסאמבאס]

jordan kilganon did it that way as well (back foot on the free throw line)

beast of a dunker

He must be the best left handed dunker ever.

[@lukasschultz1992]

He was my idol growing up! The Cowboy 🤠

[@Deepthoughtsabound]

He and his little brother worked for me at the YMCA back when he was in HS. Nicest kid with a flair for art.

[@Moneygetjealous]

2:52 lol that kid was left hanging 😂😂😂

[@flatbushmassachusetts8518]

Moneygetjealous fucked up ... he didint see him Cus if his height...

[@eccomz76st]

He got robbed on that third dunk. He damn near jumped from the free throw line off two feet. That was a 50

[@ramialhamad8768]

He has mj style of dunking

[@Dee-bg1pr]

Crazy how times have changed, jumping over Rashard would’ve gotten a 40 today. Lol.

[@AustinCasey]

Yeah that free throw line dunk was crazy. I wouldn't need slow mo to know thats a 10. He won anyway but still...

[@KeethOcelot]

Save our Sonics

[@ethanreed8400]

[@liljuve13]

corey maggette?

[@Lorenshyne]

He was a better in game dunker

[@Antbeast23]

People weren’t thinking of jumping over guys or using the ball to do crazy dunks like mcclung or Gordan
