Last time a white boy won the slam dunk contest, I was 9 years old. He paved the way for Mac McClung winning tonight

The 1996 slam dunk contest was boring and I remember not being impressed. McClung did his thing tonight!

I guess I have to do it again.

I get made fun of every time but I truly think I’m correct.

My hypothesis:

Michael Jordan was filmed from nearly floor level cameras and it made him seem more athletic than he actually was.

His ability to float is fake news. Pretty much everything about him is fake news but his airness is the fakest of it all.

What say yall?

We don’t cover sports like this anymore










Everything that idiots saw back in the day was forced perspective.

The media has faked MJ’s greatness so much that they use forced perspective to promote him.

Here’s an example of old Lebron being photographed from this angle.

It’s as cool as anything MJ has ever done.

That’s an amazing picture.

It’s also only neat bc it was taken from some nerd’s shoelace level.

This is another great one. Too bad it was well after the media decided to prop up Michael Jordan.

Zach lavine and Aaron Gordon still are the two best dunk contest participants of all time . Better than Vince carter who would be third
