    I already knew the guy could get up but OMFGoodness!! If this guy ever cracks a rotation for an NBA team, he will undoubtedly win the Slam Dunk Contest. I'm sure everyone already knows this but i found this video still postable, Lebron has nothing on this guy...

    It's amazing.


    He has a good head on his shoulders, and he works hard, but he just can't find a spot in the NBA... It's AMAZING...

    LeBron is only a power dunker. He would stand no chance against a guy like Flight.

    While he was playing garbage time for the Rockets, he had a pretty good shot, and was an excellent finisher. For some reason, he got cut.

    Wow. Now even though we now know for sure he is not an NBA player there are going to be no less than three posts in this thread talking about how he could help the Rockets and maybe even be an All Star one day.

    Its just a guy who can jump high in the air during warm ups. Why is that interesting?

    Does someone have a clip of his in-game dunks?

    In game dunks are sweet if you consider his playing time.

    But apart from jumping high, there is a gap in basketball fundamentals.

    Believe me, no one would pass on this kind of athleticism if it was paired with basketball skills.

    He didn't have enough sense to time his jump to coincide with the ball throw.................

    WOW, he jumped high! but you need a lot more than that, he needs to dribble, shot, pass, defense so he can be in the NBA, or he has to be very good in one or two of those fundamentals.

    Athletic feak that he is, his BBIQ is why he can't make any NBA squad. The guy gets lost on D. He can't make the proper defensive rotation. He can't make the right pass on offense.

    if there is a vid its mainly breakaway dunks...he jumps high, but he cant translate that talent to scoring in the league...i have yet to see a dunk where he takes it to the rim on someone during a game. It's all slam dunk competitions, warms ups, and breakaways.
