Vintage Footlocker Dunk Contest Video - Ken Griffey, Deion Sanders + Michael Conley
Terrific vintage Footlocker Dunk Contest video with people like Deion Sanders and Griffey dunking. ESPN’s Sports Guy provides the intro:
“Can you remember two freshman point guards coming in at the same time who were as good as D.J. Augustin and Mike Conley Jr.? I can’t believe I’m about to praise Billy Packer, but he made a great point near the end of the OSU-Wisconsin game — Conley was deferring to his teammates and ignoring the fact that he’s their best creator, so Packer pointed out, “Look, Conley’s the guy that needs to win this game for them” about two minutes before Conley’s game-winning drive in the final few seconds…
Speaking of Conley, do yourself a favor and check out this YouTube clip of his father (the Olympic gold medalist in the triple jump) lighting it up in a celebrity slam dunk contest — not just for Conley’s dunks (which were ridiculous, especially the last one) but the Junior Griffey/Deion Sanders dunks. Can’t ESPN Classic bump the 24-hour nonstop poker reruns and air the tape of this entire contest? Would that be too much to ask?”
