Even by year-2000 standards, this McDonald’s High School dunk contest is kinda weak, but check out the names involved: Darius Miles, Omar Cook, Chris Duhon, Andre Brown and DeShawn Stevenson among them. Say what you want about Soulja Stevenson, but dude had BUNNIES back in the day. (And still does.) He makes the rim look […]
