Isn't that the same guy who said "I may be the best dunker in the US"?
Well I'm pretty sure he is.. he does a 360 between-the-legs with the same frequency as Lebron does his ugly reverse kinda dunk (which makes the top 10 every night :x ).

being a good dunker doesn't mean you can be an NBA player. It's not the National Dunking Association.

Here it is in realtime. It looks more impressive than when it's slow down because you can see how fast he has to spin.

This "720" was the #1 play of the day on SportsCenter. I must admit it was quite impressive.

Give me a break. Figure skaters don't have to dunk a ball, nor do basketball players have skates to jump with. Don't start comparing basketball to figure skating.

Most people would have a hard enough time standing on ice with ice skates, let alone jump in the air, do a 720 spin, and land it without falling on their ass.

720 ice skating spin is more difficult then a 720 basketball dunk.

Ice skaters can't jump up and do that by running, let alone dunk it right after on a 10foot net.

I'm not into And1 as it's grown into some kind of wankster movement, but come on people, you gotta admit this is impressive.

And you can't compare a figure skating 720 to this, it might be harder to do because they're on skates but then again, they don't have to jump a certain height to dunk it and they have much more speed so spinning is easier for them.

Actually, i was just being exact. Wink I was taking into consideration where he left the ground. So learn how to learn when someone doesn't need to learn how to count!

LOL, what a nice excuse, man :lol: My bad :P

Fuck me. After seeing that dunk in real time, you can see that he gains pretty much no mementum. He just kinda jogs up and bounces right off the spot to do that dunk. I'm even more impressed now.
