    Great dunk, but doesn't even look like his head is at the rim. Getting your head even with the backboard isn't that impressive for a guy with college basketball height. The rim is a different story.

    I think his head does not reach the rim because as he was going up at that crazy angle, the backboard kind of restricts his right shoulder from fully showcasing how high his melon really could have gotten...

    The goal kind of shakes a tiny bit before he actually throws it down with authority :eek:

    Didn't do much for me. I mean he got high and all..but wasn't much to it after that. If it was on someone and a good in your face dunk at that height then i would reconsider.

    Pure athlete with an unrefined game from LSU. Sound familiar.

    The guy is 6'9" catching an alleyhoop with no one near him. Very routine.

    The guy's elbows are above the rim, Vince Carter style, (look at the image for exact height he reaches) and now all the sudden this is a standard, ok, routine dunk :cool:

    This is more exciting. Note that his whole head is above the rim:

    I am NOT impressed.

    LOL
    Only on the first and third dunks. On the second one, it doesn't seem to, since the camera is NOT basket-high. ;)
