This past Saturday, amidst sunny skies and blistering winds, Pop's Bar on 24th and York St. held its first annual Slam Dunk Contest, and it was awesome. The contestants gathered at the local dive around 4 p.m. or so to properly lubricate themselves before taking part in bar game history. There were costumes, there was a shirtless man, there was a girl, there was an ecstatic crowd, there were embarrassing falls and flops, and there were plenty of authoritative slam-fucking-dunks. Below is a set of choice photos from the proceedings.
Michaelangelo had some issues.
Why is that guy dressed like a pizza?!
There's that girl I was talking about.
Sometimes less clothing means more air.
Friends were helping friends.
One-Eyed Ron fucking owned the game.
Free Pete looking like a basketball card.
Does this kid got style or what?!
Nicknamed “GQ” by the crowd, this dunker rose above his name to deliver some serious dunks.
Seriously! Why is that guy wearing a pizza costume?!
Damn! Pizza got hops.
Get it in there, Ron!
GQ from the free-throw line!
Pizza wins 1st, GQ wins 2nd, and One-Eyed Ron gets 3rd!

seriously, why isn’t EVERYONE wearing a pizza costume?!
OK so that’s pretty great. And so much safer than darts.
what were the prizes?
The best part is they used a KEG to weigh down the hoop
A PBR keg at that. You’d be proud.
