#18: J-Rich's Contest-Winning Dunk

In case you missed the introduction, for the month of September HMB is counting down the Top 30 Bay Area sports YouTube clips. It's pretty simple: one per day for the entire month, excluding the Oakland A's and Raiders because, well, we don't like them and from their attendance figures, it doesn't seem that many people do either.

This clip is short and sweet, which is good because you'll probably end up watching it 4 or 5 times in a row just to see what exactly happened. It's the 2003 Slam Dunk Contest, and Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith are absolutely blasting Richardson before he elevates: "He's gotta show me something I hadn't seen before ... I don't think the throw in the air is gonna do it."

Wait for it...

"I've seen something I've never seen before!"

The collective "Ooooohhhh" is amazing. Sadly the Warriors have more Dunk Contest Championships than playoff victories in the past 12 years...
