Zach Smith finishes second in the college Slam Dunk Contest

Back in 2004, Andre Emmett brought all of San Antonio down after dunking over a group of standing because as Emmett would put it, “Dre love the kids.” Now 14 years later, Zach Smith is back in San Antonio with the opportunity to continue the Red Raider legacy and did not disappoint.

Zach started the contest out with a dunk that went over the judge’s heads. Zach brings the ball from the highest point, then does a full windmill. The difficulty in this dunk alone is enough to where it should have been a 10, but two judges gave him a nine, putting him in jeopardy of not making it to the next round.
