What if the dunk contest was part of the All-Star game? In-game dunks would be so much more entertaining, you could have judges on the sideline or just let the announcers do the judging. Any time there is a dunk during the game it gets a score and the player with the highest scoring dunk throughout the whole game wins. There will be wide open fast break dunks and maybe some dunks on defenders. A guy with a high dunk score might start defending the rim to protect his lead, and then HE gets dunked on! This would add another layer to the dunk contest and to the All-Star game itself.

Triple jumpers would utterly smash everything in their path and it wouldn’t even be close. It’s quite literally the perfect explosive movement for dunking. I would give anything to see the incentivized to show their bounce
A world class triple jumper should be able to take off from center court and easily be able to dunk (with the hop/step/jump). So you dribble to center court, then throw down a dunk that literally doesn't violate the travel rules from the NBA. It would be amazing to watch.
@@OkayyTV188 I know they tried team battles one year, but fucked up real hard with it! That being said, one on one tournament deals would certainly help it out, especially if we're back to eight competitors again...

Been thinking of this: a “blacktop” tournament. 3 sets of 1v1s: guards, forwards, and centers. But there are two different brackets. Take the 6 total winners and they’d play a 3v3 game (each team having a guard/forward/center). This could also be done strictly by positions (pg, sg, sf, pf, c) who’d all compete to play a 5v5.
I remember watching this dunk contest a couple of times. I still remember the most impressive dunk that I have ever seen came out of it. You actually showed it in your lead up to this contest. It was either Powell or Conley jumping from the ft line and dunking with two hands.
the NBA actually needs to take this up. throw in some soccer announcers, freak athletes, and a huge prize pool and people may actually be competitive in an all star week event as well as it being very entertaining
@@sac1211 Nah dunny, you done took it too far with this one. The first point I'll make is, Jimmy dug these videos outta places your shallow mind couldn't swim in.

I’m sure they kicked in at the same exact time for all of you. Totally believable that you all had the same exact hallucination. 10/10 definitely happened.
Hi. I just want to say that at 53 yrs of age. White dude who played high school basketball as a power forward….. You have BY FAR the best basketball channel… The history, your exceptional research , your edits, your voice…. REALLY…. you should absolutely be on TV . Everything you present is always well researched, well documented by you, and especially amazingly well presented so that we ,I do, always watch to the end your videos. You have a amazing talent, and as an entrepreneur now here in Quebec, Canada. You should have no reason not to present and TV sports channel your work… Go for it. You should be on the NBA commentary , or if not the leader in your small documentaires presented on nation wide NBA Sports channel. Congratulations and be very proud of work…
Absolutely needs to happen! Glad you included Tyreek and Odell in your list, those dudes can bounce! Maybe even include a couple dunkers from dunk league like Jordan kilganon
Noooo no viral dunkers that's the issue now is everything has been done lol the room to push it is sooo small already after a few years of those guys it'd be boring again.
You can't have dunk league guys competing against non-dunkers, that's just not fair. The dunk league guys would would dominate and the point is to have non-experts show off their athleticism.
As I wait for the next episode, I wanted to say that I appreciate the format of your videos. It reminds me of this podcast called “Lore”. You start with an interesting tidbit and then somehow segue into a totally different but interesting topic. Compelete with non-distracting music bed and then, you end your video with a great question or call to action to your followers. I love it. Not sure if you took notice of that or if there’s some standard content creation package thst u follow or if it’s just uncanny, but I love this channel. Can’t wait to see more
Jimmy, you are the bar for consistency. You always come with some truly interesting ideas. As a kid who grew up loving espn classic, you're checking all the boxes of great sports narratives. Who needs sportcenter?
The production on your videos is outstanding in general, but for some reason this one captured me in particular. I was glued to the screen for the duration of the video. Hats off!
Man thanks for dragging this one out and dusting it off. I’d forgotten all about this. ❤️ And yes I agree, call someone immediately and make this happen.
This is his job of course hes gonna upload he probably has to pay them bills 🤣 he needs to be smarter and start to invest this youtube thing won't last forever
9:50 Mike Conley Jr. is one of the best athletes to ever play in the NBA, just look at his combine results. Just because his playing style doesn’t involve ridiculous dunks, doesn’t mean that he isn’t athletic.
Jxmy's capacity to turn a shitty day into a superb one is just incredible! Whenever i see notification popping up, i immediately smile with joy, even before watching the video, coz I know i will be watching the highest of the high content in the sports area! Bravo once again!
@@B3Band I used to think that too because I can jump decently far and used to do beyond the free throw line lay ups poorly and wondered if I could one day get good at 3 point lay ups. But, I recently found out that the rules technically say it's from where you release the ball and not where you take off from, even though I swear some shots are released inside the three and still counted
@@AlexanderMoen If that's genuinely something you found I would love to see a link to where you saw that, because frankly, it sounds like nonsense. If I happened to want to shoot the ball underhand like in the old school era of the NBA like Brent Barry's Dad did, and swing it from the ground upwards towards the basket, and the ball goes in front of the line, but my feet are a foot behind the line when I start my shot, there is no ref that is gonna say that how I shot the ball trumps the fact that my feet were behind the line. Challenge: Prove that a ref has ever called that one time whether shooting under or overhand in the history of basketball.
Hey Jimmy, just wanna thank you for your channel, you are one of the reasons that i love this amazing sport, your channel and your videos are superb, all the best for you and god bless you ❤️
I'm sure a competition involving all world sports would incredible and bring so much revenue. Get some soccer in here and there would be an international level broadcast. Any smart company should definitely look to start this.
The best thing with the channel is to listen about amazing NBA facts from a man of passion, a man that loves the game just as us. Keep up the good work. I'll watch all your videos as long as they are this GREAT !
Great content as always. One of , and there are many, my grievances with the dunk contest is the lack of competitors. I could have sworn that there used to be at LEAST 6 dunkers per year.
nice job on this video I had forgotten all about the Slam Fest back in the day and didn't realize Conley's dad was even in it, lol. I think you come up with a great idea for the future of the Slam Dunk Contest, I believe that would bring some much needed excitement back into this great event 👍🏾
I remember those dunk contests. They were the shit. I can't imagine most sports would let their best compete in something like this these days. They have too much invested in them. But it would be cool.
Mike Conley’s foul line dunk is insane. Two things to add tho… 1) They used a girls ball in the Foot Locker Slam Fest. I don’t think he could’ve pulled that off with a regular sized ball. 2) His two handed dunk from the foul line where he swings on the rim like a gymnast might be just as impressive!
@@jacobcardinal8041 I was talking about basketballs, of course those 2 ain't ain't same. I'd only say that there's a difference if he was talking about a children's basketball compared to a men's basketball
I saw this contest on TV and it was my favorite dunk contest of all time because of that behind the free-throw line dunk. The guy was if I can remember correctly, was a triple jumper and was only 6ft 1in! Excellent!
I love this suggestion!!!! Athletes are Uber competitive so this might make some NBA stars want to do it. It could also extend the the baseball Home run and NFL challenges.
We need to go back to the days of Vince Carter when the dunks literally made peoples' jaws drop. Love the idea of the cross-sport dunk bracket, think the bragging rights and an actual prize might convince the 'stars' to get involved. Odell and Davante had some awesome dunks in those clips too!
Can you please make a Giannis appreciation video please. Please make a vid about his mvp and dpoy cases and how he is having a historical season. People are really forgetting his greatness already.
I attended this event when I was 10. It was a dream come true to see all those amazing athletes in one building. I can tell you that the stadium was deafening when Conley landed that dunk. In those days we didnt have the internet and nobody believed me that this guy dunked further than MJ.
Personally, I'd rather just see a full dunk contest of celebrities and non-nba players (no pro dunkers). You're absolutely right, the expectations are too high now for NBA players, but totally adjust for non-NBA players and there's an added element of excitement on "what can this guy do??". And you know these non-nba guys would be super excited about it. All in all, amazing vid as always.
Jordans dunk (right pic) at 11:42 was most likely further then Mike's because he was not jumping directly linear like Mike was. Jordan is damn near jumping from the left elbow of the free throw line. Also a sidenote, from an eye test Jordan looks shorter then Mike so it is possible with his height it could of been an even greater distance but I could be wrong.
11:41 Somebody doesn't understand how Pythagorean Theorem works. The one on the right is clearly a longer dunk because of the angle. Even if you want to argue millimetres over who was father behind the line itself, the fact that the guy on the right is coming from the side means that his dunk was farther away.
Awesome video dude! I’m always learning something new when it comes to your content, and this has to be the greatest dunk comp I have EVER seen!! Facts 🤯👍✨
James white did windmill behind the ft line in turkey dunk contest. Not only he was few inches behind, but he did off center, more from a side of ft line... meaning it was even more further. So probably further than conley, plus he windmilled it, with room to spare. By far greatest ft line dunk ever, bar none.
Love the idea Jimmy! An "A" level ATHLETE is an ATHLETE right, he/she loves a challenge! This definitely would lite a fire under the NBA players, in a good way.
Hey jxmy, at this point i think u should do a video on how the NBA is going LITERALLY CRAZY. Kyrie, Lebron, Lebron, KD, KAT and now Kyrie again. All 50-60 point games within 2 weeks or so.
I'm primarily a baseball fan, but I love watching your videos. You just do a great job. The only basketball I watch is occasionally the finals. I never watch the dunk contest or the all star game. But if this happened, I would definitely watch it, and I know everybody I know who is into sports would watch it too.
I also love Baseball too, but I watch a lot of basketball too, I watch almost all the Warriors games and I watched the All-Star game too. Can’t wait for the playoffs to start
@@Grievous_ Me too. I kinda follow the NBA. Like I look at standings every once in a while, and I watch these videos, but from what I hear, the playoffs should be exciting this year!
i still want to see a free-throw-distance dunk, but coming *from the baseline, or coming in diagonally. That would be tuff since the dunker couldnt time his takeoff from a fixed point, aka free throw line

THE NBA NEEDS TO WATCH THIS VIDEO !!!
WASSSUP ALEX
I can't even argue against this one. You are spot on! Well presented as always!
Man thanks for dragging this one out and dusting it off. I’d forgotten all about this. ❤️ And yes I agree, call someone immediately and make this happen.
It’s crazy how fast you been uploading recently keep up the good work
This is his job of course hes gonna upload he probably has to pay them bills 🤣 he needs to be smarter and start to invest this youtube thing won't last forever
9:50 Mike Conley Jr. is one of the best athletes to ever play in the NBA, just look at his combine results. Just because his playing style doesn’t involve ridiculous dunks, doesn’t mean that he isn’t athletic.
Jxmy's capacity to turn a shitty day into a superb one is just incredible! Whenever i see notification popping up, i immediately smile with joy, even before watching the video, coz I know i will be watching the highest of the high content in the sports area! Bravo once again!
Lmao
mark henry dunking is all the inspiration i need to dunk, and just seeing that graphic of his jump overlayed the court is insane , thats INSANE
10:12 -This moment is just so pure...anyone? This woman has her man in her heart...
Just a side note.
Jimmy, uncontested quality as always!
a 29 foot long jump? How in the hell? Man, I'd love to see him get a fast break and take off from behind the 3 point line, even if only to lay it up.
It would count as 3 points, right? You're allowed to land in front of the line as long as your feet leave the floor from the behind the line.
@@B3Band Dang that would be a broken move in a real game
@@B3Band I used to think that too because I can jump decently far and used to do beyond the free throw line lay ups poorly and wondered if I could one day get good at 3 point lay ups. But, I recently found out that the rules technically say it's from where you release the ball and not where you take off from, even though I swear some shots are released inside the three and still counted
@@AlexanderMoen If that's genuinely something you found I would love to see a link to where you saw that, because frankly, it sounds like nonsense.
If I happened to want to shoot the ball underhand like in the old school era of the NBA like Brent Barry's Dad did, and swing it from the ground upwards towards the basket, and the ball goes in front of the line, but my feet are a foot behind the line when I start my shot, there is no ref that is gonna say that how I shot the ball trumps the fact that my feet were behind the line.
Challenge: Prove that a ref has ever called that one time whether shooting under or overhand in the history of basketball.
Hey Jimmy, just wanna thank you for your channel, you are one of the reasons that i love this amazing sport, your channel and your videos are superb, all the best for you and god bless you ❤️
This historic NBA event should happen and you might be the ambassador of the hole show if it ever comes to pass. Great video
All I'm gonna say, is Barry Sanders at 5'8" did some amazing dunks.
He was such an incredible athlete.

LOOK UP JAMES WHITE! JAMES WHITE JUMPED FURTHER BEHIND THE FREE THROW IN HIGHSCHOOL AND DuNKED WITH TWO HANDS!!!!
He windmilled it from completely behind the free throw line with a full range of motion.
Facts
yeah why he not mention him he did all kinds of dunks from the free throw line
Best free throw line dunker ever!!
J WHITE FOUL LINE KING
When You Accidentally Break A World Record... Indeed, this was the longest ad I ever had to watch on RUclips.
I'm sure a competition involving all world sports would incredible and bring so much revenue. Get some soccer in here and there would be an international level broadcast. Any smart company should definitely look to start this.

It’s a good day when jimmy uploads
i follow zero sports, i know almost none of the people you talk about, but this video is just amazing! watched the while things and subscribed
The best thing with the channel is to listen about amazing NBA facts from a man of passion, a man that loves the game just as us.
Keep up the good work. I'll watch all your videos as long as they are this GREAT !
Great content as always. One of , and there are many, my grievances with the dunk contest is the lack of competitors. I could have sworn that there used to be at LEAST 6 dunkers per year.
nice job on this video I had forgotten all about the Slam Fest back in the day and didn't realize Conley's dad was even in it, lol. I think you come up with a great idea for the future of the Slam Dunk Contest, I believe that would bring some much needed excitement back into this great event 👍🏾
I remember those dunk contests. They were the shit. I can't imagine most sports would let their best compete in something like this these days. They have too much invested in them. But it would be cool.
Mike Conley’s foul line dunk is insane. Two things to add tho…
1) They used a girls ball in the Foot Locker Slam Fest. I don’t think he could’ve pulled that off with a regular sized ball.
2) His two handed dunk from the foul line where he swings on the rim like a gymnast might be just as impressive!
A ball is a ball
Ball don't lie
@@josh_who_what is a golf ball the same as a beach ball?
@@jacobcardinal8041 I was talking about basketballs, of course those 2 ain't ain't same. I'd only say that there's a difference if he was talking about a children's basketball compared to a men's basketball
“Screw it throw in a golfer” 😂😂 DJ might get up for one lol
I saw this contest on TV and it was my favorite dunk contest of all time because of that behind the free-throw line dunk. The guy was if I can remember correctly, was a triple jumper and was only 6ft 1in! Excellent!
Every vid is highly edited with great quality, no one can ever beat Jimmy 🔥
Bro, your videos are excellent. Great content, narration, ideas, etc. Been watching for a long time. Keep it up.
James White did it honestly but I'm biased because he's my favorite dunker. Oh and fantastic content. I would LOVE to see that dunk contest!
Exactly who I was thinking of
Awesome idea! Got my vote. Bring on the dunk specialists as well to give NBA a run for their money. That dunk contest this year was shameful!
I personally have not been inspired by anything for at least 2 decades.
(My last Rush Concert)
...but this has definitely inspired me!
Thank you JxH.
I love this suggestion!!!! Athletes are Uber competitive so this might make some NBA stars want to do it. It could also extend the the baseball Home run and NFL challenges.
Love the videos jimmy never stop!!
I would love too see this again, it would be so exciting imagine the social media hype , then they could have live fan votes
We need to go back to the days of Vince Carter when the dunks literally made peoples' jaws drop. Love the idea of the cross-sport dunk bracket, think the bragging rights and an actual prize might convince the 'stars' to get involved. Odell and Davante had some awesome dunks in those clips too!
Can you please make a Giannis appreciation video please. Please make a vid about his mvp and dpoy cases and how he is having a historical season. People are really forgetting his greatness already.
I trained with Mark Henry and dude was a great athlete!
You need to send this video to the NBA. Let's go, I'm already fired up to see it!
Another beautiful vid that would be an amazing all star game scenario!!
Facts🤝
I attended this event when I was 10. It was a dream come true to see all those amazing athletes in one building. I can tell you that the stadium was deafening when Conley landed that dunk. In those days we didnt have the internet and nobody believed me that this guy dunked further than MJ.
i think they were using womens basketballs
Watching this vid made my day. Pure gold, hope your idea gains traction!!!
We need to see more inter-sport competitions like this. It really shows that these people are just not like the rest of us!
The nba should take notes from jxmy at this point lol 😂
Tf iz this
This guys channel is just so good plain and simple
Personally, I'd rather just see a full dunk contest of celebrities and non-nba players (no pro dunkers). You're absolutely right, the expectations are too high now for NBA players, but totally adjust for non-NBA players and there's an added element of excitement on "what can this guy do??". And you know these non-nba guys would be super excited about it.
All in all, amazing vid as always.
Jordans dunk (right pic) at 11:42 was most likely further then Mike's because he was not jumping directly linear like Mike was. Jordan is damn near jumping from the left elbow of the free throw line. Also a sidenote, from an eye test Jordan looks shorter then Mike so it is possible with his height it could of been an even greater distance but I could be wrong.
Facts I seen that too
The best thing is a HORSE DUNK CONTEST!!!
11:41 Somebody doesn't understand how Pythagorean Theorem works. The one on the right is clearly a longer dunk because of the angle. Even if you want to argue millimetres over who was father behind the line itself, the fact that the guy on the right is coming from the side means that his dunk was farther away.
Conley is on the opposing side...
Jxmmys next video on 60 pieces calling it
Yo.....juxtaposing that jump distance over the court really put the length in perspective for me....that's insane
I’d rather have a celebrity dunk contest than have stuff like this year’s, besides the between the legs backboard tap from Obi
Awesome video dude! I’m always learning something new when it comes to your content, and this has to be the greatest dunk comp I have EVER seen!! Facts 🤯👍✨
U right my friend!!! That’s totally right Jimmy!!!
Scal dunked from the three-point line but he's so humble he had the tapes erased
jimmy we need u to drop a vid about the 50 pieces in recent games 😫🙏
I am waiting for his new upload also, i hope he is doing good and upload soon...
agreed 100% on Conley. i recall watching this recording on VHS when i was a kid. great stuff.
I remember watching this back in the day. Brought back some serious early 90’s nostalgia 👍
James white did windmill behind the ft line in turkey dunk contest. Not only he was few inches behind, but he did off center, more from a side of ft line... meaning it was even more further. So probably further than conley, plus he windmilled it, with room to spare. By far greatest ft line dunk ever, bar none.
Love the idea Jimmy! An "A" level ATHLETE is an ATHLETE right, he/she loves a challenge! This definitely would lite a fire under the NBA players, in a good way.
Never knew that 1992 dunk contest happened.
The most impressive Dunk was from Mark Henry, the world's strongest man in the mid to late 1990's. He dunked at 6'3" and 370 lbs!!!!
Hey jxmy, at this point i think u should do a video on how the NBA is going LITERALLY CRAZY. Kyrie, Lebron, Lebron, KD, KAT and now Kyrie again. All 50-60 point games within 2 weeks or so.
tatum too
I hope you are just busy with something else and doing good. I hope everything is alright, pleade upload soon JxmyHighroller
I'm primarily a baseball fan, but I love watching your videos. You just do a great job. The only basketball I watch is occasionally the finals. I never watch the dunk contest or the all star game. But if this happened, I would definitely watch it, and I know everybody I know who is into sports would watch it too.
I also love Baseball too, but I watch a lot of basketball too, I watch almost all the Warriors games and I watched the All-Star game too. Can’t wait for the playoffs to start
@@Grievous_ Me too. I kinda follow the NBA. Like I look at standings every once in a while, and I watch these videos, but from what I hear, the playoffs should be exciting this year!
I think something that would be cool would be professional dunkers who aren’t nba players in the dunk contest like Jordan kilganon
60 for Kat 60 Irving 51 saddiq bey Bron 50 twice.. Do a video on why or how they are scoring so much recently and why this isn't normal
Bro Jimmy that is *genius.* Sounds like a bigtime moneymaker too. Would definitely save the dunk contest, and for years and years.
Michael Jordan still had the best and most animated dunk from the free throw line ever.
i still want to see a free-throw-distance dunk, but coming *from the baseline, or coming in diagonally. That would be tuff since the dunker couldnt time his takeoff from a fixed point, aka free throw line
