Some of you young’ns won’t recognize the name or the game of ANTHONY WEBB, but that is prah’lee why you come to this site in the first place. For the O.G. education that only your cousin BILLY SUNDAY can provide. Since this is the time of the year when O.G. NBA Tight Pants jigs convene with the next generation of longshortsmen (and rapists) I thought it would be appropriate to drop a post about the greatest Tight Pants All-Star dunk contest.
There were classic high flyers in the contest like long socks legend LARRY NANCE.
New York Knick forward KENNY ‘SKY’ WALKER wore his ‘flat top’ haircut as recently as 2003
DOMINIQUE WILKINS did his patented array of two-handed tomahawk slams
But no one could match the crowd pleasing hops or the technical difficulty that ANTHONY ‘SPUD’ WEBB displayed.
Standing at only a hair over 5feet tall, SPUD WEBB was even considered short outside of an NBA arena. The one thing that SPUD wasn’t short on was desire.
In the final round of the contest KENNY ‘SKY’ WALKER did an amazing dunk where his flattop nearly touhed the backboard.
I didn’t think that the ‘SKY’ WALKER could be beat because he wore a second pair of tight pants under his already tight Tight Pants team shorts. I figured that he had taken Tight Pants to the exponential level, but my mathematical calculations were awry. You see at SPUD WEBB’s height he technically wore the tightest pants of any Tight Pants All Star. KENNY WALKER would not have been able to fit a thigh in SPUD WEBB’s tight pants.
SPUD WEBB then brought the crowd out of their seats with an incredible 360-degree spinning, behind the back, two-handed slam which won the dunk contest and gave little people a brief moment to believe that they too could touch the sky.
also one of dallas’ (the city) most redeeming qualities. as a fellow short person, webb gave me hope that one day i could have a career in the league. that is, until i discovered that one actually needs talent to play ball. at least spud gave me hope for about 5 years; by the time bogues came around, i learned my lesson.
