Here is 17 year old Kobe Bryant going between his legs and dunking at the Gym Rat Midnight Madness High School Showcase in 1995. Bryant pulls off this dunk in a GAME less than a year after Isaiah Rider made it a signature dunk in the NBA dunk contest the year before. Kobe Bryant went on to play his senior campaign at Lower Merion High School and was drafted 13th overall by the Charlotte Hornets. Soon after, Jerry West, general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers, traded his starting center, Vlade Divac, to the Hornets in exchange for Bryant’s draft rights. Since he was still 17 at the time of the draft, his parents had to cosign his contract with the Lakers until he was able to sign his own when he turned 18 before the season began. It turned out to be a pretty decent move by West.
