Texas Tech History Lesson: Darvin Ham Slam

Slam-dunks are so common in today’s basketball world. As someone who is vertically challenged, dunks really should be something I appreciate. A lot. However, thanks to the likes of ESPN’s highlight reels of games being filled with video of dunks every night I just do not get excited over the "routine" dunks that are seen multiple times a game. That said, there are slams that even a dunk-spoiled Millennial like me appreciates. It just has to be a special and game-changing dunk. The 1996 NCAA Tournament had one of those, due to the efforts of Red Raider Darvin Ham.
