Dunk Contest: Brittney Griner vs. Mr. 720

High School, Playground, Video / Apr 10, 2010 / 2:00 pm

We’re not making this up. This fall, they closed the gym down at Nimitz High School and had Brittney Griner and Mr. 720 (formerly known as Air Up There) go at it. Who do you think won?

Brittany Griner is….kinda has like a…reverse-Michael Jackson thing going on.

But yo, this 720 dude is ridiculous. He won the NBA dunk contest 2 times over in this clip alone. Actually, BRITTANY GRINER won the NBA dunk contest 2 times over in this clip alone.

I was impressed by both of them. Wannabe comedians are going to make childish jokes about Brittany being a dude and all that rah rah, haters are going to point at her height, but the fact is, that’s a woman doing a two handed 360. Respect that.

…no need to comment on Mr. 720. Dude is ridiculous!

She is going to really embarrass some poor girl in her college basketball years. Then do the same in the WNBA

Balla says:

You are right about haters on Brittney…what ever growth defect she has, at least she isn’t shy about using it to her advantage. If Brittney is dunking like that and she is a “man”, what does that make Mr. 720 and Lebron? They are all just freaks of nature with physical gifts that they are not wasting….Kwame Brown and Darko Milic, I hope u read that last line.

@eyeusedtobe

I wouldn’t say she’s a man. But I do think she may have more testosterone than your average female. Then again none of that really matters. She is definitely impressive though

TIP says:

obviously she’s not better than him but damn…that was impressive! That’s a woman right there showing some dunking skillz…rezpekt!

Promoman says:

AUT/Mr. 720 won that hands down but Brittney’s the best female dunker around. She’s got a nice repertoire, especially with lobs and bounce dunks.

Snoop dogg won. hands down.

Holy shit the dunk at 1:45 is craaaazy.

flyp says:

Totally agree with the dunk at 1:45. AUT’s dunks are all crazy, but I had to do a double take on that pump-360-reverse. Looked like something they’d pull off in NBA Street.

Jay says:

Is anybody gonna check her out to make sure she doesn’t have the same thing that one Jamaican runner had…

RC says:

Air up there is just insane! those dunks are not only pretty but done with power.

Britney did a good job too with the dunks. She is freakishly athletic and strong for a woman. I really thought she was a man though.

DT says:

I’m gonna have to say brittney won it…i mean for her to be able to pull those kind of dunks off is pretty amazing. She is one of a kind and will never be duplicated…much respect

If Britney Griner and Shaq had a kid, that kid will probably be the most unstopable force in basketball the world has ever seen

So does it count as getting tea bagged if it’s a girl who does it?

B. Griner has one huge wingspan. I mean dang…

Mr. 720 aka AUT aka Whatever You Wanna Call Him

his 360 pump is the best version ive ever seen.

@DT

you can’t just give someone a dunk contest win because it was impressive that they could dunk… a dunk contest is a dunk contest and you have to do good dunks to win. It’s like saying Steve Nash should win in a dunk contest against Josh Smith or someone because he’s shorter and therefore it’s harder for him.
