In 1993 and 1994, friends and I organized a charity tournament at Lower Merion High School, including this dunk contest with Kobe Bryant, which was his first ever dunk contest. Enter 15 year old Kobe Bryant who introduced us then to who he was and never stopped.



Denial. What a mental stage. I just keep trying to deny it's real all day today hoping to not have
A headache from either crying or holding back tears all day.

this was a great video. When I saw it on ESPN, I sent it to my mother and asked her to compare it to me @ 15. I was a fairly decent 6'0" baller in Junior High. She responded by asking if I could touch the rim at that time! For the record, I could....barely.
