Kenny: “LADIES AND GENTLEMAN IT IS OVER I AM LEAVING THE BUILDING”
Lmao
haha and quitting his job
Its over will never get old
I quit my job, i never seen anything like that in my life

Who came back because Dwight did the same “Superman” Dunk in the 2020 allstar
Lol me
He talk about me !
The best judges are here.
Lmfao
Darren Andrei I did , this was a way better performance
I can't believe this was 12 years ago
Me either
naw it’s titled wrong this was like 5 years ago
Yellow Jesus Lmao. I remember watching this live as a kid. Stop cappin
Yellow Jesus no it wasnt
Tico yes it is. I live with Howard ! What chu mean
Back when Kobe liked dwight
Serious?
阿萨德 阿萨德 you must not watch ball
interesting,you win.
@@user-yo8xx9mb9j Your English sucks. I assume you're Chinese?
They fell out because kobe tried telling dwight how to win a ring & dwight thought he was too good for advice
Had to come back here to cleanse my eyes from this years contest
Bruh I’ve seen better dunks in game than in that dunk contest
I thought last year sucked until I saw this year's smh.
Aviaz X this years was way better from last years wtf
Hhhahahahhahahahhahahhahahahahahhahahahhaahhahaha
That sucks, I haven't watched a slam dunk contest in like a decade, I was thinking of watching it this year but I guess there's no point.
Who's here in 2020 just to watch Kobe smile? :)
Caleb Abernathy I miss him :(
piss off
Kobe always smiles. Even now, he is smiling
If he was still alive along with Gianna if the accident didn't happen, then he would definitely see him at the All-Star 2020.
Fuck Kobo
I know this video is about Howard but seeing Kobe wth his smile broke my heart
Didn't break mine.. it made me smile.. just seeing Kobe smile was awesome.
His smile brights up everyone. I/You cannot hate him. His smile is contagious 😍😭.
Mine to
RIP
Make a time a machine pls
Super man is in the building *sings Indiana Jones Theme* 😂😂
IsaiahTheWierdRUclipsr 14 im suprised no one commented about sing oh wait
I thought that was the 1950s Superman TV series theme song.
Between Star wars and Indiana jones
Dwight: does this dunk. Gets a 50
me: does this dunk in 2k dunk contest and gets a 30
Primalsharkplays which of Dwight’s dunks did u do in 2k?
Primal yeah the 2k dunk contest is so stupid. I do a dunk that’s supposed to be “hard” and I only get a 37.
I would do a dunk I get a 37 they copied the same one get a 50
Riothegoat 111 it’s a glitch set of dunks you have to do in order to win 🤫

I had to come back to this after that thing they called a dunk “contest” the other day
Me too
Truly horrific. Calling it a dunk contest disrespects the dunk contest
This super man dunk was garbage. It’s the dunk contest. Not the lay up contest. What if mike would have thrown the ball in instead of dunking it.
@@franciswillis1673. Don’t be a Killjoy and let People enjoy the moment.

He was an athletic beast back then
Burak Yüksel I'm in to his comeback, this was gonna be fun!
Kosta Troy he still got hops so for sure he gon win
Gay man can't jump
Audrey Zondo yes he can dumbass
I’ll never forget watching it live and hearing the crowd reactions to the replays at 4:12. Realizing he threw the ball made it so much better, I was laughing so hard in amazement😂🔥
With the Superman music as the cherry on top!
Kenny’s reaction to the superman dunk just gets the goosebumps flying
Now Kenny says it for every dunk and every play.
::hums indiana jones theme:: 🤣🤣
This dude was the best center in the league at one point.
Still is.
Not just the best center bro. At 1 time it was a debate on if he was the best player in the league. And that was at a time where Kobe and LeBron were playing
Best big man of his generation

Same here man has it been that long already
Daniel Purdy lmfao what the fuck daniel
Lord knows why 10 years flew by
😜 i ok 👌
Loved seeing Kobe's reaction. RIP. Kobe. Dwight Howard rooting for you and the Lakers.Glad you and Kobe made peace.
Kobe is a legend
Judin Haris tapi rip
Judin Haris this isn’t even about fucking Kobe so stfu
PhreshFunk so can the guy ur replying to
Mint-O so can i. Fuck off
FlyingPanda ? ?? Ofc u can i never said u couldnt
I remember when this aired I was very unimpressed with his third dunk. Then they played the slo-mo and I realized he tapped it off the backboard first LOL
1:39 “the kids? Nigga me, this shits crazy” 💀💀😂😂 wtf
Charles kills me with his commentary 😆 🤣
pause at 4:38... yes, ok, it's not as technically complex as some of Lavine's, Gordon's or Carter's dunks, but *this* is still one of the greatest dunks I've ever seen... LOOK HOW HIGH OFF THE GROUND HE IS 🤯🤯🤯🤯
i think people underrated jameers pass at 4:45 as well,, thats a 1 in a million chance pass for that to be 1st try. because whos throwing lobs at an arc that high??? literally never seen again
Tbh, it was a smart creative dunk from Dwight. That leg kick made it seem like he was flying.
Carter? For doing what? Carter is the most overrated dunker of all time. Even Dwight is way more creative than him.
@MrMa1981 You shittin me 😂😂 Vince didn't practice his dunk contest attempts he thought of everything on the fly. Plus he literally jumped over a 7 footer in a game.
Dwight wanted Kobe to assist him in this years dunk contest. After all the news, it’s just so sad now.
Despite all the antics and trades and all the other stuff. I hope people don’t forget how Dwight Howard used to be. Dropped out of the sky...
This a top ten dunk contest performance. To be 6'11 to jump that high, with that hang time. The entertainment factor with the super man cape. All the extra stuff made it special.
If you disagree. Get all that Dwight hate out of your system and be objective for once in your life. Sheesh just listen to the damn announcers.
forreal man..
Man this is top 5!
mrEFIP it wasn't even a dunk
Douglas Delgado why isn't it a dunk? Someone flying high like mj and LBJ and Howard does not have to dunk by touching the rim
hk brightshadow HE THREW IT BECAUSE HE COULDN'T RICH THE FUCKEN RIM YOU PPL ARE FUCKEN IDIOT NOBODY DOES THAT INTENTIONALLY FUCKN MORON
Welcome to Taiwan legend
Here I am, minding my own business watching old dunk contests...and they show Kobe smiling that classic Kobe smile and now I'm crying.
dwight represented kobe this year. duch respect
Dude
Its almost as if when kobe was alive and still in the NBA he would get featured on TV or something, crazy bro
Why? Kobe is awesome, man!
that is the dwight we deserve
Rip Dwights Vertical
He can still hop 30". He used to have about a 40" vert
Tell that to muscala lmao.
Chris Wise he plays for the hornets.
@@deeztruckz2430 I think he had a higher than 40 vert
If Kobe's vertical is 38" in his prime, he has about a 40".
The self alley oop Mid Air dunk - most under rated dunk
Facts
It’s difficult to see Kobe smile, it will always be heartbreaking. I’m not the biggest fan but he is and always be one of the greats. I give my respect. Wish he was here smiling like that at this years all star. If he would of known he had alil over a decade left of living life. How would he live? He maximized every potential. How would you live?
Man, Dwight really was amazing. Sad how he never truly lived up to his potential.
He got hurt
Despite what people think
I mean to be honest Dwight can still give you 13 and 10....
His ass was weak as fuck!😩
He didn’t have any moves
mutliple all-star, all nba teams, defensive player of the year awards... how did he not live up to his potential?
(2nd dunk)
the falling star dunk
METEOR JAM!
Golden Darkness THANK U NOBODY THINK IT A DUNK !!!
Word to kagami!!!!
It totally reminded me of Kagami haha, although this one wasn't from the free throw line.
Now that I think about it, he could have touched rim but it wouldn’t looked as impressive if he did in my opinion
kuruko no tasuke
Watching this in 2020, seeing Kobe in the image I remember him from my childhood from (turning 25 this year) is heartbreaking man. R.I.P. Mamba. Will never forget the 08 All Star break
Wtf are you talking about with your childhood
@@SubwaySam10 what are you confused about lol. He was an icon throughout my elementary and middle school years
Seeing kobe still breaks it man 💔
Kennyyy 😂😭😭 "I'm leaving the building I quit my job"
1:39 “the kids? Nigga, me!” 😂😂 that’s what it sound like he said lmao
TravionMusic brooo 😂😂 it does I wouldn’t be suprised if he did
That Superman dunk is legendary,I can totally imagine Superman ( Clark ) throwing the ball into the hoop due to the concern for the rim,not wanting to breaking it.
That was probably the best dunk contest performance ever. So much creativity and he made it fun too. That 12ft dunk I'm not so sure Vince could do it
I would go that far. Lavine vs Gordon was the most impressive one to me. Also Jordan vs Dominique. People slept on Steve Francis, McGrady and VC.
@@anthonyware6004 Jason Richardson and Desmond Mason are really underrated too in the contest
I think in his prime, after some practice VC could probably get to 12ft. He's only a few inches shorter than Dwight. Despite the commentators on during the contest he did that one... Dwight is only an inch taller than Lebron and Shawn Kemp.
Youre insane if you think VC cant dunk on 12ft.. he legit was high enough to put his elbow in the 10ft.. stop it
@@kylein9869Richardson is my favorite behind VC
Dwight was really in fire back then. Stilll one of my favorite players. ✌😎❤🔥👊👑
Lowkey one of the greatest dunk contest performances of all time
Not a dunk.
HIGH KEY , this is # 1
Incredible, my favorite dunk contest performance ever
3:17 R.I.P Kobe we will Miss you
I miss Kobe .. i still can't believe he is dead.
This solo perfromance is way better than a bunch of players from the past decade and now
thank you for the improved quality
Anyone else come here to experience what it felt like when the dunk contest was actually exciting?
Who is here after watching 2022 dunk contest bullshit?
Same! I need to watch some quality after seeing that garbage
as close as we'll ever get to michael b jordan playing superman
If your here in 2021 your a true legend
RIP Kobe and Gigi. You will be missed.
These were good times for the NBA... Kobe, Dirk, Nash, Shaq, Ray Allen, Yao Ming, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Parker, Manu and upcoming young stars LeBron, Wade, Melo, Bosh, Paul, Dwight...
Damn…. Now only Bron Melo Dwight(lakers) and CP3 left 😔
Go Lakers, 2019-2020!!! Welcome back, Dwight! 💜💛
Kobe vc é foda...
Jamais vai ser esquecido.
Fez parte da minha adolescência
Respeito eterno
3:55 Kobe ♥♥
응 뒤 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
even being as tall as he is... this is top 5 all time dunks. he was parallel in that one dunk.

@@CraigMcGuinn And no way that contest is ranked that low! Some people need to lay off the drugs!

2. Jordan vs Wilkins
3. Vince Carter 2000
4. Dwight 2008
5. Jason Richardson 2003
Vince Carter’s dunk contest is the best, kiddo. He did a *PERFECT* reverse 360 windmill dunk.
“We’ve never had a guy in the nba this tall that could jump like this.” Wilt Chamberlain had a 48 inch vertical.
Shhhhhhh in order for the players of the 80s 90s 2010s till now to be declared GOATs. They pretend he never was........
Matt Schumacher wilt could touch top of backboard
Wilt also high jumped 6'6 with just short preparation time. He was one hell of an all-around athlete.
Wilt chamberlain had a 48" vertical while laying down aswell....let that sink in
Sean Cunningham that’s why he holds the nba record for women slept with.
"Let's go home! Okay let's go home."
"He got a body like Superman I swear!"
"OHHHHHHHH!!!"
Judges don't even censor their thoughts for this man lol
HE IS FLYINGGG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember this day so well
The Superman dunk is iconic probably the greatest moment in dunk contest history (yes not Jordan)
I love D12 and all his dunks. However I think it's the whackest! Looks like he didn't get enough air, so he thru it in! Vince Carters 1st dunk, is the greatest dunk in history!
@@henrywashington3732 exactly!! He would’ve missed the entire rim if he would’ve tried to follow through with that dunk..
@henrywashington3732 I'm one of the only ones, but that superman dunk was STUPID. The pass by Nelson was amazing.
Dwight Howard's Superman is the best lay up i have ever seen
wtf
FR! That wasn't a dunk. Jump shot or layup at best. His hand had no contact with the rim. What is everyone on about?
@@LordFirestaff. People was entertained compared to the garbage ass “ Dunk Contests” we’ve had the last 3-4 Years.
@@allengreene9954 It was either a layup or a jump shot. Not at all a dunk.
Just came here to refresh my eyes from what happened to the 2022 Nba Dunk Contest. 😅
Dude, he's great.
Wao que tiempos aquellos que este muchacho era el futuro de toda la nba , pero la conducta y las lecciones acaban con los atletas.
I always wonder where the ball came from at 3:44 until I realize his teammate from the background threw the ball to him, lol. God Bless.
This is my favorite dunk contest performance ever
Awesome this dunk contest🔥🔥🔥
I am see you again kobe!😭

Absouloutly nobody:
Kenny: "LETS GO HOME, LETS GO HOME EVERYBODY"
felicidades por tan ingenioso comentario, ya eres 100 % estereotipo social
R.I.P. Kobe!!
Great video
Imagine if he never got injured
Anyone here after Shaq saying how he still mad at Kenny for calling him Superman 😂😂
This is what we needed in 2022
The Sound Effects On the First Dunk MADE IT POP🔥
10 years later, Dwight dunking more than just basketballs. 😂😂
Tell me why he was singing Indiana Jones themesong
Maybe he just saw some Indiana Jones earlier that day and the song stuck.
No time for love Dr. Jones
Cause he s not a Superman fan
Kobe 🙏💜💛✌️
Back when dunk contest makes a smile on your face
Idris Elba: Look at me, im Black Superman..
Dwight Howard: cool story bruh..
So this is how Kagami learned the Meteor Jam...
lmao
First NBA match i have ever seen was the orlando magic vs the Knicks in february 2009 in MSG NYC. First time seeing Dwight Howard play in real life then. Damn what a time. 😍
This is my favorite dunk contest ever
smiling with tears looking at Kobe
Calm down
Still better than 2022 dunk contest
Bro the little kids on the koosh hoop is better than 2022
You know that you are legend when:
You show up in the background
While in the background, you dominate the comments in someone else's dunk competition championship.
RIP Kobe
this is the fight even in the darkest of time you will feel KOBE`S LIGHT
真高興Howard 來台灣
這屆真的是很有創意的秀
Who's here to compare the 2008 superman Dwight to 2020 superdwight? I wish Kobe was watching Dwight when he honored him with his dunk💛💜
Very creative dunker. Underrated.
Here after 2022 dunk contest 😔
