So out of boredom I'm watching the footlocker slam fest 1992, the competition they used to do of non-NBA athletes participating in a dunk competition. There's several attempts I've seen that were unsuccessful that are just mind boggling athletic from those track athletes but here's one that actually just went in that I had to double-take:

I don't think I've ever seen an NBA player able to do this before

That dude could do free throw line dunks. Pretty sure there are videos of it.
Not shocked at all.

I'm pretty sure he was an Olympic triple jumper... Can anyone confirm that?

Yes they say that in the videos, they showed all the competitors doing their primary sport during the intros. Originally Posted by plowking

Re: Legit mid-air 2-handed up-fake and under reverse dunk
Why wouldn't they? From a 6-1 guy? Off-hand free throw dunk from a foot BEHIND the line!? Up and under reverse jam? Those are very very incredible dunks made even more incredible by his height of only 6-1. Originally Posted by inclinerator

Re: Legit mid-air 2-handed up-fake and under reverse dunk
That's pretty impressive. In the NBA, the farthest that a guy jumped from the FT line is probably Ibaka. But let's remember MJ legitimately jumped from the FT, double pumped and didn't have to fully extend his arms to make the dunk, which means he had room to spare. I would just like to see which player can jump from as far back as possible without any style points. Originally Posted by CavaliersFTW

I've always preferred gliding dunks that emphasized flight/hang time versus power dunks. Lavine is amazing but he does the same type of dunks over and over again. A guy like Drexler made dunks look beautiful becuase it looked like he was gliding.

Impressive.
Aaron Gordon also did this insane dunk in highschool which is even better imo. He should really go into the contest with Lavine and Wiggins.

Re: Legit mid-air 2-handed up-fake and under reverse dunk
Underrated aspect abut Conley Sr.: seemingly large hands to be able to palm that rock so readily, unless the ball was a little deflated (which is definitely possible). Insane no matter how one looks at those free throw line dunks though.
Sidenote, that double pump reverse was Tim Perry's bread and butter between 1993 and 1995. Only in '93 the pump was weak and in '95 he missed all his attempts at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0ZkfFBdG-I#t=0m17sLast edited by Rake2204; 03-10-2015 at 01:46 AM.
