Shawn Kemp - 1991 NBA Slam Dunk Contest (Runner-Up)

[@dlaird8]

Kemps second dunk in this is legendary. Should have been a 50. I had that poster. It is legendary.

[@PeteyC_AZ]

Same. That was so unbelievably athletic. He got robbed. Fuckin’ 48?? Pfffft.

Shawn Kemp Dominique Wilkens Vince Carter No Championship Rings But three of the best I have ever seen in the NBA ⛹️‍♂️

[@fernandocabanillas8133]

David Lane I 100% agree with you Back when I could tolerate watching basketball, nowadays you’ll get a foul called on you for looking at the other player wrong. Loved watching Drexler also

Agreed

[@JK-br1mu]

Kemp was the one that had the best chance at winning a ring, and was a serious two-way threat by the mid 90s and the 1996 championship run.......Vince was a career 43% shooter.

[@alecsanderhamilton9224]

Thanks for sharing my man. Thats 2nd last dunk is one of the finest ive ever seen, WAY better than the "blind" dunk by Dee. That windmill off the bounce was a monster too! Mad Respect to tha Reign Man 100%

[@ckymadam]

4:25 that dunk should be a 50, I don't care if he stepped cross over the free throw line.

[@sadatxersism7305]

Amen and i don’t think he was trying to Jump from free throw, i think he was trying to show the pure artistry of the Dunk and unfortunately Stevie Wonder was judging on that dunk!!!!

I don’t care what anyone says that free throw line double clutch dunk is game over you won. That dunk is iconic.

Shawn Kemp was one of those players that was incredibly good and incredibly prolific but at the same time a lot of people forget about him. I truly enjoyed Shawn Kemp.

[@reyesmartinez512]

I don't I that was my teanager time.

[@rizwanramzan5729]

Because Kemp put on so much weight.....after 99'...then he was unable to jump...

[@kingdavid7063]

How things have changed..lol..the music..the people in the crowd..it feels alot different than it does now...😂😂

[@leir2005]

Kemp tossed the ball to himself three different times. Fast forward some 30 years later and we see a young man do the same between the leg dunk three or four times and win

[@dariog36th]

Looks like Wade has been judging dunk contests since 1991. Kemp should've won with the free throw line double clutch dunk.

[@ezmoney1896]

LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

[@deomeslives]

[@quoaitran1135]

When you dunk in the moment over someone. It's much nastier. Slam dunk contest has nothing on Kemp's in game dunks

SHAWN KEMP, THE REIGN MAN.

[@k.c.r.5974]

3:55 this dunk is so sick!!! I will never forget it. Real ballers and hoop fans love Kemp! I swear people are so obsessed with doing dunks that have never been done instead of just doing the best dunks you can. And its ruined a lot of contests. That stupid idea of "we've seen it all". Anyway Kemp was amazing and all natural. I could watch him all day and his in game dunks were just legendary!
