February 12, 2000 - Steve Francis finished second, behind only Vince Carter, in the 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Contest.
I always loved that 2nd dunk, it was as good as dunks from Vince. That whole contest was legendary.
No dunk contest will ever be this good. Tracey, Francis, they would have won any year for the next 10 years if it wasn't for Vince. Unreal
+mojojojo787 Dude this year's was like the greatest ever though.
+dixonmixin10 well yeah
mojojojo787 not that last dunk.that was not no free throw line dunk. Vince no he loss
Francis's 2nd dunk was so insane, even Tim Duncan a guy known to have one expression was excited and smiled lmao
Lmaoooo, 1st time I ever saw Tim Duncan reacting like that!
@@ntwalipat2 well he did for more than just the 2nd dunk. Have you seen the game where he got ejected for laughing? Good times!
@@devinlwoods David stern was so mad at joey crawford he fined his ass with $100k, suspended him for the rest of the season, and asked him to visit a psychiatrist.
This was before he was ejected tor laughing lol
Any other year and Francis runs away with the dunk competition. Vince was so far ahead that everyone forgot how nasty of a dunk contest that Steve had
Francis is not talked about enough he was a problem back then!!!
Gotta win championships

One of my fav player back in a day.. Todays nba is boring...
This dude was explosive af
the nba used to be so hood
David Stern ended it
Ya then LeBron's whiny ass came

Speedy of the North ..LOL
Proppy Iyayi right
This dunk contest made me a Steve Francis fan.
jmood88 me too
Heck yes!
I seen him play in juco this kid was a freak
Jack Liu Fuck the Grizzlies
Jack Liu lemme guess you’re from Vancouver? 🤣🤣🤣
One odd most underrated dunk performances of all time
Love Stevie Franchise. RIP Craig Sager. ❤
17 years later Vince Carter is still playing
He retired now!
@@tjmasterbarber2664 damn
Not no more
Stevie Franchise and AI were my favorite players as a kid
If Vince Carter wasn't competing that year, Steve woulda been 1st place!
That first dunk was sick! Steve Francis all the way!
This man had hops
palming a ball and having a grip on a ball r 2 different things. my hands r not big but I can pick up a basketball with 1 hand at Times. guys like Vince and Tracy can hold it like I can hold a cantaloupe. Stevie couldn't genuinely palm it. he was at a great disadvantage in this contest. hand size and height. I was most impressed by him.
miss the times when players didnt need many tries to make dunk
Piotr Ciosiński U must not have seen larry hughes in this contest. He needed a buttload of tries to get a dunk off
He means the winners...
I want old slam dunk contest back.
I had a slam magazine poster of that last dunk he made in my room for 10 years… it’s such a sick photo
This judges are crazy the first dunk was a great dunk
Still my favourite dunk contest of them all. So much talent and a ton of original ideas
his 2nd dunk his head was even if not above the rim....6'3" thats at least 45 inch vert
Swag walk at 3:57
3:53 antwan jamison is a shape shifter
Miss Francis and Mobley
Good players for the rockets in the early 2000s.
Moochie Norris too
@@ducekong7878 I remember watching as a kid and seeing Walt Williams fight someone 😂
That Leg Kick Was So Tough On That Second Dunk
4:01 When 2K uses the same walking animation
Steve second dunk was 🔥
glad he at least came in 2nd. still did my favorite dunk of the contest
4:00 Francis and Mobley have the same walk animation. Looks like lazy game design.
francis obv had the better dunk and handle but shooting they were about the same in nba live 04
2k reference.
I don't know what was funnier at the 5:15 mark: Vince tryna get in Francis' head, Francis' response, or Vince's response to Francis' response haha!*JESUS SAVES*
What did Vince say
dude had BOUNCE.
I was a 14 year old kid, rooting for the franchise. Steve Francis did badass in this slam dunk contest.
2:53 a technical foul
Good one lol
Impressive dunks but still not enough to beat the mighty Vince Carter.
vince carter dunks was more creative but steve francis jumps higher
Its normal. You must do something better if you want to beat Vinsanity.
Man i miss this era im so grateful i grew up hooping in this era....bball was so pure and wholesome...i remember always watching the games then hjt the court to try to mimic francis iverson or baron davis at pg position.....man steve francis had crazy hops...swear he wasnt even tryn here...crazy...💯🙏
The last dunk was iconic
Man the NBA back then was throw'd with talent. You actually knew who was who out there...Not like now where you gotta Google search names
Speedy of the North NBA has more talent now than ever: harden, Westbrook, kd, khawi, curry, irving, big kat, brow, wall, lillard, bron.......
I remember watching him at allegany community college. I have a signed basketball from him
2:35 LEGENDARY
do you not see how BIG THEIR JERSEY WERE... MAN WE USE TO WEAR SOME BIG CLOTHES IN THE EARLY 2000's.... smh... we was fresh tho bcus i had STEVE FRANCIS AUTHENTIC JERSEY... i paid $350 for it lol.. it was like a 3x and rite to this day i'm wearing a Large shirt..... What the hell hahahahaha i miss them days tho...
We went from super baggy to super skinny clothes within a span of 10-15 years. I prefer baggy clothes tbh. Comfy and gives your you know what some breathing room.
IDOL
"Look at him hit his ankle!" *hand isn't anywhere near his ankle on replay* "He cannot palm a basketball" *visibly palms the basketball at **6:28*
hwoarangthedoorbell LOOOL KENNY BEEN TALKING SHIT FROM DAY 1
kenny always exaggerate
Kenny is and always has been full of shit
triple d 🤣🤣
Stevie franchise...
Back then i could name every player on every team and name who recently retired, who got traded and name previous teams players use to play on. Now...
Original Dennis Smith Jr. lol
Nice reaction at 2:08
3:57 funny shit lol
6:01 LMAO look at gary paytons denim outfit...good times
Not Payton
Don't do my man Gary Payton like that. That ain't him.
that's Kenny Anderson.
Westbrook Before Westbrook
you mean lillard
FGAlele he was a mix of Westbrook and Kyrie definitely.
Where Chris Tucker come from? LoL!!!
The Junkyard dog dancing though.😂😂😂😂😂😂
People forget about Steve's dunks because hes so overshadowed by vince 💀
I always thought Vince's performance here was incredibly overrated. His first two dunks were basically the same thing. Best in game dunked ever though. Steve did great
That lob jackknife was soo dope to me
Stand the fuck up for Sager.💯
i'm a white guy that can't jump, i'm impressed by all of this LOL xD
The golden years of Stevie Franchise, before he had the migraine issues. Returned to the Rockets years later, but by that time was washed up. It seems like every Rockets great eventually get riddled with injury problems, happened to Yao and Tracy as well. God forbid if it happens to Harden...
Harden is not near the level of T-Mac, Yao or prime Francis and he'll never be.
You don't know what you're talking about, guy WITH the Harden beard.
nahor88 I know EXACTLY what i'm talking about. It's you who doesn't know shit about it. T- Mac was 10 times the player harden is. Yao was arguably THE BEST center in the league in 2007. Francis in his prime was top 3 pg also! What is harden the best at? scoring 30 while his defence is non existent.This team is a losing team and will STAY that!
Yeah, you don't know what you're talking about.
BushMaster Savimbi T-Mac didn't play a lot of defense either ..
4:01 they both did the same walking emote 😭😭😭
anyone hear still by dre in the background
2:52 man Timmy's so happy.
Rip Craig
The quality of this reminds me of Sega Saturn games
Mobley ‘they stole it, they stole it.’🤣🤣🤣
We just wanted to participate
Compton arena? With real OG's
The franchise
He making Vince carter sweat in the 2000 dunk contest
Did you see Tim duncan smiling 😭
We jus wanna PARTICIPATE
Hops!
Any other year for Francis or Mcgrady
he's was nasty
0:20 - alonzo mourning lookin like ray charles. smh
Wait a minute... there were other dunkers in the '00 dunk contest? Could've sworn it was a one man show by VC
+Henny Hardaway (DoU EvenLift) There was VC, sure. But then there was a hell of a run for 2nd place.
+Henny Hardaway (DoU EvenLift) Do not ever underestimate Steve Francis. The dude can jump just as high as Vince, except Vince is taller.
+I Don't Have Man Boobs (erislaton) VC's vert was higher
Let S say this, this series would have won 9 slam dunk contests out of 10. And he lose... Power of vinsanity. P.s: how I loved jerome williams
Stevie Franchise AKA the Self Alley-Oop King?!
Straight classic and legend. I remember 💯 this when u had those REAL BALLERS 😂U SEE HOW EASY HE COME INTO HIS FIRST DUNK AND KEEP IT ON REPEAT. I must add that this ain't even best dunks of the night. Vince performed the best dunks in the history of the league.
The last great dunk contest. Francis was small, so his dunks were impressive with the amount if power he used. In college he was known for his in game slams. Then you have Vince, who is the GOAT dunker. It was magic to watch it.
Craig got caught slidin thru lls
Did he do that on purpose in his first dunk? Letting the ball slide down his wrist?
At 5:18 Does anyone know what did Carter say to him? Seems like Carter was yelling at him to break his confidence.
+Jashon Chang Nah, encouragement. Basketball players are always pretty chill to each other around the all star weekend so they always wanna see each other do well.
Francis was in the wrong dunk contest. He may have won if he did these dunks in the 2001 ASG based on the field.
any other year franchise wins hands down all 50s. but v.c decided to show the world he wasn't human. maybe it was the y2k thing
and of course he doesn't hit his ankle!!! any fool knows That! lol. but it's a way to explain his dunk. other people described that dunk like he was completely sideways. 180 degree angle. it really wasn't. by the way, that dunk was sick nonetheless (but that doesn't mean it had the flu).
Chris Tucker at 7:36 😂😂😂
He was about to do rush hour 2.
the nba was for the hood back then
Who is it for now?
pussy
Jus Me gays are taking over
Rip Craig Sager
chris Tucker face tho
Stevie was 6'2 at best and that was generous. Huge hops.
Good player with his athleticism.
Why are his oops so dang far away lol. Never seen someone throw it from damn half court
Stevie Franchise is clearly my winner 🏆. His only mistake is competing the same year as Vince
Vince was better, but Steve did amazing.
now, he could win the Slam *DRUNK* contest...
lol that's good
I don't think alot of ppl know what he just did!! Even tho he was going against t- Mac and Vince!! Steve through the ball in the air from half court and caught it at the rim and dunked it!! Not an eazy dunk!! Exspcially on the first try!!
Stevie Franchise, another Uber talented Terp joining Bias, Joe Smith, Walt Williams etc that left us wondering what could have been. Franchise had the game to be the answer part 2.
Jaime Fox hat 😂😂😂😂
Steve Shawn Francis or Steve Francee
WTF is up with the fashion back then lmao
What's wrong with it?
Eric Sandoval lol. How about the fashion today? Skirts and tight jeans pn men?lol
Eric Sandoval real fashon
Tommy Hilfiger same as your bitch ass is wearing punk.
Who else here cause of the rumor about ginuwine beating him up?
5:17
I have never noticed growing up but mobley and Francis are suspect
lsbright123 gay rumors about them
