Actually mj was in the era where 3 pointers are not a big part of the game. Jordan, evolved the game from what it is today. Then ray allen, tmac, and kobe introduced the 3 point game to everyone and then curry evolved it into what it is today. While lebron was a disgrace to the NBA because of his flopping and always complaining to the refs whenever there was a slight contact. Lebron james became the reason so many players do flops today and lebron is the reason why it is too soft today.

This will always be special to me. As a 16y/o who lives away from the city and didn't have cable TV and only local TV channels are available. I am only familiar with our local leagues that time. This slam dunk contest was my first glimpse of the NBA, a Sunday after church and got invited to a birthday party. Don't get wrong I heard about MJ, magic, bird already but didn't seen them play. I thought Ham was going to get it, until Kobe Bryant pick the ball and get that reverse dunk and the rest is just special. That also made me one of the biggest fan of Kobe Bryant and for me one of the GOAT in the history of the game.

Ham should have been in the Finals, he got royally screwed by the judges.

Good old days. To be fair, dunk with ball between legs was so much hyped and after 20 years, Zach made the same but from free throw line. Crazy how it evolved.
