After I saw that video I found out they were hosting an event over here in Venice, CA this weekend called the Elite 24 where ESPNU scouts selected the top high school ballers from across the nation for a scrimmage game. So, yesterday there was the dunk contest, which I came to check out but I didn't really see any super amazing dunks, granted these were just high school kids. There were 4 judges: John Wall, DeMar Derozan, Brandon Jennings, and Tyrek Evans. It was cool seeing them there, but they seemed bored. Here are a few pictures from the event:
- Booooooooo!
- From left to right: John Wall (out of picture), DeMar Derozan, Brandon Jennings, Tyrek Evans
- Finally a good dunk, which got Derozan & Jennings off their chairs. Too bad I missed it because there was like a 7-footer blocking my view...
- This was probably the dunk of the day: off the backboard between the legs. I think this d00d won the contest with this
- John Wall showing his appreciation to the fans. Let's see what he can do in his rookie season with the Wizards.
