“That’s not a 10”
Camera turns to D Wade

[@mrbig6856]

And a couple of 9s being held up around him 😅

[@scotjonesxs]

candle dunk deserved a 50

[@southwest702]

Charles Barkley says "that's not a ten" then score comes out "who didn't give him a ten"

[@jimmierustler9486]

Gerald looked like he was 15 here

[@quantumleap4023]

That's cause he was.

[@unleashed399]

Quantum Leap lmao

[@wpjohnston0213]

This, this right here is what is missing from current dunk contests. The fun and imagination

[@brucelau2023]

Really tho the “Birthday cake” dunk was one of the most underrated dunks Gerald Green did

[@tristenmelder4138]

Kenny said is he gonna jump over that ladder 😂😂😂 he must have like a 100 inch vert

[@ayofabricio]

“HE BLEW IT OUT, HE BLEW IT OUT”

[@johnpaulcancio8670]

2:42 kobe :(

[@userwhom]

[@bigblock1661]

Welcome home GG

[@seanmcclure]

That birthday dunk was what the dunk contest is all about. Creativity and unpredictability. Had he put a little drama in the socks dunk like he was slipping a little bit the crowd would’ve been behind him.

[@kyrie2slokkinfiregman738]

Bruh GG is my fav player.

[@anthonymartinez2953]

Big box just for one cupcake really🕯🔥

[@AntonVitullo]

I remember seeing this live in 3rd grade , I also remember seeing him do a dunk with his shoes off

[@MediaTruth_]

Charles Barley wines about everything his eyes see🤣🤣

[@503TD]

He should have won simply cause his head is above the rim every dunk crazy

[@2No2feelings]

This is a 50 dunk man, especially when you after seeing 2021 dunk contest

[@charleslantzy180]

2022 topped it lol

[@coachb2424]

I wish these dude was judges in the 80s

[@larryjohnson8704]

Young Gerald Green was a monster.

[@lalocastillo7738]

[@RJiswhitekobe]

Jaxsen Miller wouldve been dope

[@caesar5339]

7:21 "why he do the same dunk, though?" What kind of hater BS was that!? That dunk was so underrated, and difficult. Gerald Green top 5 NBA Dunk Contest contestant of all time.

[@baselineleaner1064]

6:43 Barkley on Dwight Howard is worth a listen ten years on.

[@paulranalli3367]

Jamario Moon sighting!

[@AbeAyBay]

I like Chuck but he doesn't belong anywhere near commentary. He just doesn't get it.
Also Kenny needs to shutup and let the players Dunk first, then say what they are doing after

[@shelethathornton1654]

P

[@visualizeme-tz3ng]

Youre tripping. Chuck is gold as a commentator

[@rharris818]

And he only has 9 fingers!😮

[@jUAN.T]
