    Just turned it on and was flipping through and noticed that since there are no sports to really show today they have the 97 slam Dunk Contest where it was in Clevland and Bobby Sura was in the contest as the smallest guy.

    Really funny to see Ray Allen in the Contest as well.

    Sura was horrible. I didn't see Carr's dunk, what did he do?

    i dont remember but the dunks that carr did was crap in our current contests' expectations,

    i remember darvin ham had a good dunk that was severely under-scored, he shoudlve moved on

    sura was crappy and he disappointed the crowd. the crowd was cheering like crazy for him

    kobe did the between the legs as a finisher. he was cocky and confidant, and the announcers were touting him bigtime

    mike finley did a cartwheel and he tried to dunk two balls at once

    ray allen was alright, but they were mostly cool dunks that u could do in a game.

    Sura's dunks were nothing great...he did the toss it up lob thing and got it with one hand, but his didn't seem spectacular. Sort of like Fred Jones last year (who DEFINITELY should not have won...)

    Finley was probably the most innovative out of the bunch. Even though that cartwheel was goofy and not even well done, it was clever. The two balls dunk looked like he needed about 2 more inches of air. But that was great entertainment value.

    The mental images that this brings to mind are hilarious.
