people underrated this contest but let me tell you some important things about, 1st, Barry didnt want to go so the team convinced him to do it, 2nd when he accepted to go, he had an idea for the music and clothes but the NBA didnt want it because it was about rap,,3rd he dunk with his jacket because he didnt want to look with too tiny arms, and last, he was white and no one took it serious until he won. So, it was one of the best contest all time despite rules due to the circumstances the winner was in by the time. Best regards and be safe
After watching these , people can see the gift that Jordan had with his huge hands. He actually dribbled the ball the whole way before palming it on his free throw line dunk. You need some hands for that.
yes most people will remember this on Darrell Armstrong than his accomplishments as the first and only NBA player in history to win Most Improved and 6th Man in the same 1999 lockout season
@@stagm3 well, with a jacket on, is the highest I have seen and for someone that didnt want to do the contest, well, jokes aside, impressive and he did it twice...best regards and be safe
I remember this, a white guy winning the dunk contest! It definitely dispelled a myth, but I think his youth and lanky body had some to do with it! I was 26 myself, a young lad! But I was fat, out of shape!
Barry's behind the back ball flip to reverse dunk...super underrated for how creative and original that dunk is
Wasn't original ..rex Chapman and Shawn kemp both did it in precious comps
Underrated part of Brent's 2 free throw line dunks. He made them on the first try.
This dunk contest was remembered for two reasons
- Brent Barry
-Darrell Armstrongs Struggle
Armstrong doing a layup in a dunk contest LMAO gets me every time
@@ericmsandoval 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Armstrong is me thinking I can go outside and still dunk at 46
@@ericmsandoval the layup was unreal! 😂😂
@@ericmsandoval shit had me 💀💀💀😂😂
Good dunks by Barry but what terrible contest rules!
That means many former Champs won't win
Barry, only got the score because he is white.
Thanks Nestle Crunch
8:26 that was a 9/10 lay up
Young Penny and Shaq... Good times man
How stackhouse didn't win this is a stain on the NBA that man had hops
Thanks for upload

5:25 Brent barry's free throw line dunk
Damn 25 years ago
The commentator called him "Drew" Barry AT LEAST three times that I heard, but it might have been four.
Brodie Stephens should be fired for that shit. A 5th grader could of gotten that right.
I think the guy was thinking of drew curry lol
He had a brother named drew
I know, could he have called him Drew Barry more? Eh had to do it.
@@davidporter671 man I wish ghostface will not gonna locate you lol. Thinking of that too
WWWOOO~~~ Brent Berry amazing ~~~amazing man !!! What a jump~~~!!!
1996 good year in nba brent had great dunks
I bet Barry could of done it behind the line
Only wearing his magic jacket tho
The air resistance of that jacket slowed him down. I could see him dunking from behind the line without it.
The only white dude who won
The only white dude to ever enter in the 20th century 1/1 ain't bad

and maybe you have any 1990-1997 Seattle Sonics games, no?
I only have a couple of games of the Sonics vs Bulls 96-97.
It's in mp4 format. If you have a dvd burner you can make a dvd for this.
Dont really like the camera view
Brent definitely didn't get those hops from his dad😂😂😂😂
Saw the lineup and assumed stackhouse was gonna take it home.
Brent Barry wins with two dunks kinda ridic
White men can jump!
Ace Williams yep, just not high hehe
@@stagm3 Are you a racist?
@@aaabbb-pg2zk ever heard of a joke?, 🤦♂️
@@stagm3 well, with a jacket on, is the highest I have seen and for someone that didnt want to do the contest, well, jokes aside, impressive and he did it twice...best regards and be safe
I was about to type that.
8:21 greatest dunk of all time
Darrell Armstrong made me cackle
thank god the format is different
15:54 was similar to Jordan’s two-hand, running windmill that he did in 1988, but still not quite as impressive.
Barry ran with the ball like Barry..... Sanders .
i think this is the most inferior of all dunk contests
Jan Kristian Paulin 😂😂🤣
I came here to compare the 1996 contest to the 2022 contest. 1996 was far worse lol
97 was even worse.
He got that shit hand it to him tf😂
Michael Finley got robbed
Finley in the first round smh
Brent "Bones" Barry white men can really jump Higher!!! 🏀🏀
Yo!! Why the hell can't Brent Fly!?
Darryl Armstong didn't have high enough dunk rating to dunk in NBA Live '97
what tee SHAQ wearing ??? thx
Finley in a Suns jersey is so strange...
Is it just me, or does Michael Finley look like Kevin Durant?
He sure does. lol
Check out this clip of young Finley vs Jordan. ua-cam.com/video/O4vwIq6u6lw/v-deo.html
It's like a white guy would come out and do windmill FT dunk in the NBA dunk contest nowadays. Barry was spectacular for that time.
Darrell Armstrong
Brent Barry
Doug Christie
Michael Finley
Greg Minor
Jerry Stackhouse
!
Ps Much Gratitude
5:34 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Young Doug Christie sorta looks like Tyrese Haliburton.
Finley got robbed.
Might be the most boring dunk contest ever
Quality was poor

I remember watching this live. I was mad that the goofy white guy won. And I’m white.
I remember this, a white guy winning the dunk contest! It definitely dispelled a myth, but I think his youth and lanky body had some to do with it! I was 26 myself, a young lad! But I was fat, out of shape!
At the 15:26 mark he said "drew barry"
Hii
Reggie
34:46
👎 .........Michael Air Jordan dribbled the ball , took two legal steps and took flight for the dunk .
But he did the same dunk twice tho
Scott Simpkins that’s what I’m saying. It’s prob bc he’s white.
Exactly!!!! Pretty crap contest really
That's exactly what Jordan did too . It's nothing new guys
Zach Lavine did it as well.
@@ultimatebeing2348 Zach did 3 different variations on it. MJ and Brent Barry literally did the same dunk twice.
That second Barry dunk was wack & goofy. First white guy to win!! Lol
The Badest contest ever!
Worst dunk competition ever lol 😂
Just a joke.
MUSIC SUUUUUCKS
Worst slam dunk ever
Hey lol
Brent was trash though
Horrible dunk contest format and Barry shouldn't have won, all set up.
