One of the Best Dunk Contests Ever
We were hyping this past weekend’s Spite Slam Dunk Showcase in Atlanta all last week as one of the greatest collection of dunkers ever assembled. The contest didn’t disappoint one bit.
We will have a full breakdown later on today, but here is some video evidence of the work done by the winner on Saturday, Minnesota’s T-Dub – an absolute freak of nature. The 5-9 T-Dubb took it to the next level with an absolutely filthy performance highlighted by one dunk where he took the ball from an assistant who was holding it above his head, and then put it through his legs to finish with a tomohawk. That was followed by a 540 and more. You can see them both in the video below that was captured on Saturday. Seriously unreal:

GarethChantler says:
dirty… ToAn is right… he didnt just get there on the 540 he brought the power. I don’t even know what to say about the between the legs…. this guy is 5-9?! I’m 5′10 and I been working out hard…to dunk a tennis ball. Just nuts.

Those last two were very impressive. The others either i’ve seen before or i’ve done before. I’ll wait till I see the other videos to see if he truly won

You see dudes head above the rim every single time? I’ve seen those dunks a thousand times since 1988 but he did them very well. Every dunk was hard too. Nate robinson should watch this tape. T-Dub was impressive I wonder what everyone else did?

Son, dude’s head was at the RIM! That is INSANE for a 5′9″ dude. That 540 was CRAZY. Sorry about all the caps, just can’t wait for bball season to start.

shake&bake says:
If he’s 5′9″ and his head is over the rim, his vert is over 50 inches. That reminds me of myself, minus 15 inches.

Kudabeen says:

Dagomar says:
To everyone . . . dude gets up as high as Bron and he’s a foot shorter. Give me a break . . . that’s sick.

kermit the washington says:
I kinda felt bad for dude at the end….kids are growing up having NO CLUE what it takes to get in the league…he truly looked convinced that sick dunking (and don’t get me wrong, that junk was nasssty) will get him a chance to play NBA ball. Or was he talking about the SlamBall league…….
