Whats even more hilarious is not only he didn't get a 50 for it (he got a 46), but it was his 1st dunk.

@@janepatton8100 go watch any video that has some of the best dunks ever. That's all there is to prove fam. SO many dunks that are waay better than Kenny's
Every real nba fan from the 80s or 90s knows this dunk. It was the beginning of trickery. To say you never seen this dunk means you’re a casual. It’s not a big deal to be a casual but stop acting like you know basketball. This was legit in mainstream media nba. If you never seen it it’s because you weren’t watching basketball. It was 1991.
lol "i tried to be your friend and protect you" i get it but you cant blame kenny sometimes either. im sure its hard to be up there with legends all the time and not have the same level of individual career accolades to boast about.
@@x-x101 That's because the NBA overlooks crucial role players and leaders like Kenny and rewards arrogant star players like Chuck and Shaq. Chuck should never talk shit to Kenny and just stay in his lane. All Kenny has to do is bring up Cassel and Horry being combined better than him just once and this whole show would get canceled due to a NBA fatality kill.
@@thefinalsay8330 If they are 6’2 in the NBA, they have ELITE hops. 6’2 wouldn’t have made it without elite hops. He’s not some 6’2 dude off the street, for NBA that dunk is not impressive
I tried this 200 times or more. I figured out you have to roll bounce it out your hand or the ball just flies to high. Plus turning around really quickly threw off my balance. You have about one second lol
Yeah aiming for a specific spot on the backboard is probably the trickiest part of this move. Not only do you need the perfect direction but also the perfect height. Also adding to the difficulty: 1. You're looking away from the backboard. 2. It's a between the legs bounce pass. 3. It's 10 feet away.
@@castlekingside76 the degree of difficulty is high until the first time you get it then it's like riding a bike lol I mastered that joint sophomore year 😂😂😂
The most hilarious thing about this to me is that ten years ago, these dudes were wearing suits that were two sizes too big. Now they wear suits that are three sizes too small.
i’m pretty sure i saw a compilation where it was ranked one of the 20 best “NBA Dunk Contest Dunks” so he’s not wrong but that’s was hilarious how Shaq switched up
He threw the ball threw his legs backwards off the backboard turned around caught it off the backboard and reversed it if u look at it in depth that is difficult and hard Kenny was so athletic he made it look basic ✊
I remember watching this and Kenny is right because ppl went nuts off that dunk. I did to because Shaq is right at that time no one seen that type of dunk b4. I actually learned who Kenny Smith was because of this contest.
It's actually a nice dunk. The sugar in the dunk is how he passes the ball to himself, the finish makes it look less exciting. That's not easy to do. I watched this dunk on TV. I tried it layup style because I was too young to dunk. I swear I smashed my nuts 5 times even throwing the ball under my leg.
No Kenny....they fo- real tripping. That was a awesome dunk and for the guys to try to roast it after seeing the N.B.A. Slam Dunk Contest for the last 3 pathetic years really need they ass whoop... GRIM
Deadass tho like who’s that guy from the heat I think that won the dunk contest over Aaron Gordon( I think) and all he did to win was put the ball thru his legs before dunking it 🤣
That was a sick dunk. He had to line up the bounce pass between his legs, hit the board up high, run up and catch it, then back slam it with both hands and then he even touched the glass afterwards. It's like something Dominique Wilkins would do or Spud Webb.
That was actually a pretty badass dunk. I love Chuck, but the lack of respect he and Shaq show Kenny pisses me off sometimes. Yes Kenny Smith was a role player, but he was one of the best role players of the 90's and of all time. The superstar's can't win titles without great role players. Barkley knows all about that.
Yeah Kenny's best season was 17 points and 8 assists. Not All-Star numbers but very solid for a role player. Kenny was definitely not a scrub or a waterboy.
I actually thought that this was going to be a clip of Kenny trying to dunk and getting the ball caught on the front of the rim and failing. That he dunked at all is iconic.
For it's era that dunk is legendary, still considered great by today's standards, and as Shaq stated he straight up couldn't replicate it. He could've jumped for this dunk from the half court line and they'd still roast him for it just because it's funny to roast the man
@@steviechampagne But more contagious and novel, so there is not a lot of ways to fight it. I suppose that as long as it only kills old people and immune compromised people, we should just do whatever. Terrorism on the other hand, everywhere. All the time. By the way, the actual age breakdown of COVID deaths is 53% under age 80, according to the CDC.
@Hughes- true. So Kenny overstated. He also hyped the fact that he smacked the backboard to let people know how high he was even though it doesn’t tell people anything. If you smack the backboard on your way down from releasing your hands from the rim, it shows that you can smack the backboard after a dunk.
I love them busting on each other, but it was a great dunk. So many people in that contest have someone else throw them the ball. He did it himself and spun around and dunked it backwards.
People are underestimating how difficult it is to throw that perfect pass off the backboard backwards with all the pressure of thousands of fans watching you, and Kenny got it first try.
Youngsters don't understand that Kenny was a big deal back when programs like North Carolina kept their incredible talent for 4 years. The whole country saw him on network TV playing against Virginia or Duke in marquee matchups, season after season. In the pros he was one of the most athletic guards around. Few guys had his height or bounce in that era.
The only thing better than Shaq and Chuck roasting each other is when they team up to roast Kenny
i think they are better when they team up and roast someone
Yesss it’s the best
It’s so funny they both do that to each other shaq be like “what you say chuck?” And chuck “say it again shaq, say it again”
