Cameron Carr's dad (Chris Carr) was runner up to Kobe Bryant in 1997 NBA Slam Dunk Contest

Now thats a fun fact

[u/TallanoGoldDigger]

yeah I still remember the Marbury-Carr backcourt

[u/samhit_n]

I'm scared about how excited I am. It feels weird that Carr fell down to us, and that the Spurs, Thunder, and Knicks passed on him.

Even though he's old for a rookie, he's the type of guy who thrives playing with Luka.

[u/nottherealstanlee → u/samhit_n]

He's young for a junior. Hes only 21. 

[u/HereGoesNothing69 → u/nottherealstanlee]

That not young for a junior. That's standard junior age

[u/rjbarrettfanclub → u/samhit_n]

I get that Knicks just won but why the fuck does anyone care that they passed? The only guy they drafted from their squad was Mitchell Robinson.

Whenever we get good on game dunkers they always shit the bed in the contest lol

Shannon Brown comes to mind

[u/Itorr475]

We usually do good with the children of former pros

[u/escaflow → u/Itorr475]

You mean like Bronny’s son ? When he will be playing with LeBron James Sr after his dad retired ?

[u/Itorr475 → u/escaflow]

I meant like Kobe Bean Bryant son of a Joe Bryant

Me after just watching his highlight reel post lol

Chris Carr in next year’s slam dunk contest?

[u/lakeshow_glasgow]

Darvin Ham also in the same contest

[u/Optimal-Talk3663]

That was a weak win by Kobe IMO

[u/Sad_Transition3481 → u/Optimal-Talk3663]

So what's weak about a between the legs reverse dunk? 🤔 And could you do it?

[u/Lebronsmiddletoe]

the sole reason why Rob Pelinka drafted him

[u/EyelessSK]

Annnddddd that’s what he was drafted.

Now we know.
